Left-arm spinner, Gudakesh Motie, will also miss the series following a recent dip in form attributed primarily to a technical issue with his action. With conditions in New Zealand not expected to be as conducive to spin bowling, the opportunity will be taken for him to work with specialists, through collaboration with the Royals Sports Group – owners of the Paarl Royals franchise South Africa, prior to his participation in December’s SA20 to address the issue and rebuild confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup, where he is expected to play a key role.

A significant addition has also been made to the management team, with Clinical Psychologist Krisnan Hurdle coming on board as Mental Skills and Performance Coach starting with the New Zealand tour. Plans for this appointment were first announced during CWI’s Quarterly Media briefing held on October 1, after being identified as one of the immediate action items coming out of the emergency Cricket Strategy and Officiating Committee meeting held in August.

Motie is a fun bowler when he puts it together. Haven’t seen a SLA put as many revs on it as he does.

He is our best spinner in all formats when in form. But he has really lost form by playing so much T20 cricket. His speeds got faster, he puts less revs on the ball and he started dragging it down too much. I hope he recovers some form in the super 50 tournament.

On the other side, we got a competent batsman in him.

Terrible article on Stuff asking if the West Indies are "the worst ever" tourists to come here? It was really rude imo and also will do nothing to get crowds/interest in the series. Does the writer not remember that the Netherlands toured a couple of years ago, how bad some of the Bangladesh teams of the early 2000s or Zimbabwe early 2010s were, or thar the Windies WON A TEST in Australia last year?

I'm confident that the WI top 4 will perform better than their English counterparts did the ODIs.

It's rude, no doubt, but I don't think it's massively inaccurate or unbecoming of someone in the media. It makes a fair point, based on results the Windies are in a dire situation at the moment, it seems. And it seems as if they neglected to say worst ever in terms of 'Tier 1' traditional nations, not Netherlands etc. But yes, they won at the Gabba last year, and hopefully will be competitive.

Given no top 4 has performed worse in 50 years of ODIs, probably a fair bet as far as the last part suggests!

I think the premise of the article is that this is far less than what we'd like from a home summer. We got a wet Chappell Hadlee and England T20I series, the ODIs England didn't give a single f*ck about, now we have 23 days of cricket - which is great news for a proper tour - against a Windies side that is battling. Last summer, we got South Africa C. It's frustrating.

Agree with all these points, but SA C was 2 years ago. Last year we had the farewell Southee tour and let's drop a million catches against Harry Brook to gift England the 1st test.

I saw it as click bait as the core of the article seemed to be "record amount of cricket games played" with "against a team who have sucked this year"

I reckon given the amount of game time they're getting, this is like a "proper" tour that we used to see (except a distinct lack of warm ups for each format, I think there's one 2 day match before the tests).

I think the T20I series will be closer than we might think, and by the time red ball rolls around hopefully there's some form in their team, condition experience and a real challenge.

Three spicy ODI wickets and a three-day game in the leadup to a three-test series should mean that unlike what usually happens, WI get used to conditions before the second half of the last test.

True, good point. I went to that final Hamilton Test, another game England couldn't be arsed with. For all their bluster, and I've been a fan, they go from the sublime to the ridiculous but not only ridiculous, the completely disinterested. Great teams don't really do that.

Most media is clickbait nowadays and I have no doubt you're right.

But yeah absolutely we should be happy with a proper series.

Maybe with 5 T20Is scheduled, BJ Jacobs will actually get a game? EDIT - I see he's been dropped from the squad :laugh:
