*Official* West Indies Tour of The Netherlands 2022 -- 3 ODIs

[CricAddict]

You’re right, they have better spinners than us. And we have a knack of collapsing.

Let’s see how it goes. We’ll take it on an over-by-over basis

No way are the Dutch spinners better than Akeal and Walsh.

 

[CricAddict]

Why is Bonner bowling all these overs ahead of Akeal?

Akeal made me eat my words....even Bonner picked up a wicket

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

In a spot of bother here

48/3 chasing 215.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

60/4

Pooran has just been dismissed.

We are in real trouble now ;(

 

[CricAddict]

Carty hasn't batted or bowled yet. This is his moment.

Carty hasn't batted or bowled yet. This is his moment.

I like your optimism and I hope he excels in his debut innings.

Anon: "Pooran needs to put away the T20 cricket for a year and play a full season of 4-day cricket. He claims he knows his game better, but his shot selection and situation awareness says otherwise."


Couldn't have said it better.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

These two batting at the moment, King and Mayers, have opened the batting for us in T20 not too long ago.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shariz strikes in his first over in ODI cricket.

99/5

It's a stiff battle now.

 

[Aritro]

Oooft. That's not good.

Weird to be supporting the established side against an associate, but here we are.

Established, yes...but this team is associate level. A bunch of 20-averaging batsmen...with Hope

Yeah you can only hope.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yeah you can only hope.

Very cheeky

Will this be a massive upset if Netherlands win this

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Will this be a massive upset if Netherlands win this

Absolutely. This will be big.

Number 14 ranked beating 9th ranked team

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Carry is a top-order batsman. Him coming in at number 7 shows Windies depth in the batting…Akeal and Alzarri still to come.

King looks good

 

[Beamer]

Good recovery to win thanks to King and Carty.

But well played to the Netherlands for being so competitive despite all the players they have missing.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Brandon King has really rose to the occasion on this tour. He’s battled with purpose and to certain extent like a leader.

He should be in Trinidad playing red ball cricket, but this is more than opportune for him gaining experience with the Windies team. And he’s batting out of his usual batting position.

Keacy Carty looked solid, and him occupying the crease with King was welcoming to see considering that this was his first innings in international cricket!

We have something to work on with this guy.

Bonner shouldn’t be anywhere near this team. Need a youngster to groom in this batting order( in the future) maybe Athanaze? But Rovman is going to play the next game.

For the next game, I wanna see Jayden and Alzarri opening the bowling.

 

[CricAddict]

It would have been nice to see the Dutch take this game. Would have made the series more exciting.

Yeah, for the next game, hoping for Rovman and Romario to come in. Both are good players but sitting on the bench. Also, why has Odean not been taken? Selected only for T20 format?

If Russell and Holder too came back, a lower order of Rovman, Mayers, Romario, Russell, Odean, Holder and Akeal would be h4x in T20. King, Lewis, Hety and Pooran will be my top 4 to complete this line-up. Hitters all the way to 11.
