Can West Indies use Odean Smith ala Klusener

This white ball management is really good.. Sammy excellent man management...Hooper , good batting coach as strategy maker and good bowling coach New Zealander....
Odean Smith in his short career ODI....not bad....can he be transformed into good ODI player...who can bowl 6-7 overs with pace.... hit ball hard... something, South Africa coach Wolmer did to Lance...


Odean Smith after 9 matches average with bat @28 strike rate 167 and with ball@ 26 with economic 5.5

Klusener as coach did...what West Indies coaches could not....

Why not open with Odean instead Mayers T20

Kyle Mayers has failed miserably in T-20 also...... inspite several chances even in World Cup T-20 qualifiers in Australia..
Odean Smith can hit ball as clean as nobody...
Opinions..T-20 only..

Record of Smith

Smith was used as pinch hitter for GAW in the past....and that experiment failed miserably.

To date... Smith has shown he is not a consistent performer...with bat nor ball nor in the field.

A cappo never knows which Smith he is getting on the day...we saw the same in IPL

In T-20 ...as opener...just have a look at Mayers....his performance is disaster...Odean has X- factor....I reckon, he can be much more contributive....just few months back...all posters were calling Shepherd, run trunks....now the same posters hailing him...
To me, Odean can be white ball game changer for West Indies, given some liberties are given to him....as Mayers and others have enjoyed..
