West Indies v Australia, 5th ODI, Basseterre, 6th July

At least it's all over, WF.

Nice of the (Wozzie?) scribes to claim that, based on this performance, Ronchi could get a game in the Aussie JAMODI team as a specialist batsman

For me this series was played between 2 sides in transition, and it showed that the Aussies have plenty of depth and World class players waiting to take over, while our reserves are just woeful (Fletcher, Pollard, Browne, Benn all looked terrible).

It was a seriously worrying series as it showed just what awaits us if Shiv, Sarwan, Gayle and Taylor are injured at the same time. A team that is barely fit to beat Bangladesh (and that is being generous).

Only positives for us are that Miller looks a handy left arm spinner (much better than Benn anyway) and Findlay looked surprisingly at home in the ODI arena.

Agreed. Too many of the young replacements just didn't look up to the task. They didn't pick their two best young batting prospects (Adrian Barath and Kieron Powell) but they picked someone who clearly isn't up to the task in Andre Fletcher. Strange.

I'm also surprised they didn't give Kemar Roach a game.

Apart from the disappointing performance of the youngsters, I was also disappointed in Gayle, Bravo and Sarwan. These three continue to show only glimpses of what they are capable of, when the West Indies really need them to become responsible, consistent performers. I'm starting to wonder whether Gayle and Sarwan in particular will ever reach their potential.

Thanks , Nath

I dont think Henderson is a wozzie ...could be a Billy from a google search of him

I think there's a few ahead of Ronchi to play solely as a batsman ...

Must have had ****** all else to write about
