Big Dummy this onionman fella. Shai is limping why? We have him wk then opening and the only reason he opened is because of Jewel's injury.

Big dummy Onionman wants Shai to open:
Shai Hope kept wickets for 50 overs in the heat before coming out to open, and batted through 48.2 overs while struggling with a niggle to take West Indies to a much-needed win here in New Chandigarh! They have won their first ODI against India since 2023, and they've chased 352 despite being a batter short! Tossed full outside off and Hope eases a drive down to long-off, deservingly hitting the winning run as West Indies complete their highest successful ODI chase!

That can be an option, hopefully it will not affect his game as Jangoo is now averaging 50+ . Hope is 32 and we really cannot have him opening and batting at top so we need an option. Greaves and Campbell have shown good potential but Greaves seems injury prone but no doubt Shai is a master at the top, although his middle over averages are pretty good too, just not 60+ like when he is opening.
