Coupled with the historic achievement of ending a 34 year drought vs Pakistan!

Don't mind the noise Sammy! Keep doing your thing!

Lot of work to do in terms of a comprehensive restructure of the system so that guys are ready once they are in your hands , but that will take time. You are working w ell with what you have. You have identified our flaws and shortcomings through advanced analytics and made brilliant decisions to correct them.

That Shai Hope to the middle order was one. Now we need to find another opener to partner Lewis.

Vroom Vroom!!

Agreed. I was saying Justin Greaves as he has opened for Leewards with immense success. He did look good finishing too so I wonder?

What you think?

Just says there is a lot of work to be done however there are good signs. We are now ranked # 1 from 11-40 and 40-50 so if we could sort 1-10 we will see more consistent performances especially away.

In Men's One Day International (ODI) cricket since 2023, India holds the highest average run rate in the middle overs (11-40).
According to reports, India's middle-overs run rate during this period is 5.72. India has demonstrated a strong batting performance in this phase, often setting or chasing high totals effectively.
While India leads in average run rate in the middle overs, other teams like South Africa, New Zealand and England have also shown good scoring rates in this phase. India's dominance in the middle overs is particularly notable given their overall ODI performance since the last World Cup. This strong middle-overs batting has contributed to their overall success in the format during this


West Indies lying 8th...

West Indies top 41-50 overs...10.25

Greaves brings such stability to the middle to lower order batting that I shudder to move him. We have not had such type batters like that previously.

I am hoping for a new exciting stable bat at the top.

Jewel can open too but imagine if we were to get big starts with the middle order and late push we have.
