Had Shai Hope scored runs at his overall ODI SR of 75 today he would have scored 86 runs.
West Indies would have scored 293 runs. Instead, we scored 335...42 runs to the good.
This has provided the other batsmed to take less risks and the team now has a lot more cushion when we bowl.
It shows the value of him and today's front line batsmen middle order batsmen scoring at striking rates of over 80 and finishers over 100 in modern ODI and that's the point I am making.
It's a pity that the nuances and stats escape some of us.
