Welcome to the Shai Hope T20 captain era

0-3 vs England

Hopefully some form of redemption awaits in Ireland

Lack of preparation perhaps?

Not to mention the coach by numbers.

Shai Hope is the least of our problems.

Too early to really tell.

Plus…….the team is the team. With the bowling we have……don’t envy him.

Our batting hasn’t exactly stepped up to the plate either. And our fielding is below average.

That’s really on the coaching……not so much on the skipper.

Shai Hope should NEVER have been given the t20 captaincy. It was a slap in the face to Powell. ODIs yes, t20s a resounding NO!

! Maybe they ought to include a genuine spinner like Warrican in the set up! Our pacers cannot restrict international batsmen.

shai hope captaincy is the problem ?.i thought many players in this side were t20 specialists and top franchise cricket players this is supposed to be their format .they can only get it up for franchise cricket?

Hope is probably the only guy in the team who can actually bat

IMHO Our preparation for tours has always been lacking
I believe more time should be spent getting ready for tours given the warm matches of the past has disappeared

Not much difference.between Ireland and west indies but anything outside 3 Victories would be a disappointment

Wait a minute, you don't seem to like our batting, bowling, fielding or coaching. That doesn't paint a bright future for West Indies cricket. There are too many minuses and not enough plusses which makes for a bad equation.
