West Indies

The portents from their Test and ODI decline suggest the way back might not be quite as straightforward.

The portents from their Test and ODI decline suggest the way back might not be quite as straightforward. Over these past three games, West Indies showed repeatedly they weren't able to do some of the most basic things. In defence of an even lower total against Ireland, West Indies refused to pay heed to the warning signs, only turning to Joseph after 16 came off the previous over. Pooran would turn to Smith in the fourth over instead, whose economy rate in the powerplay is 11.18.

In the first powerplay, West Indies had nudged and nurdled their way to 41- for 2. Instead, there were 16 dot balls in the first five overs with only five boundaries, and 16 of the 32 they had scored until then came off a wayward Curtis Campher over.

But even Ireland, who lost 9 of 12 T20Is in the summer, and only Mark Adair's wide yorker, the last ball of the West Indies innings, had landed well outside the tramline, but the umpire believed Smith had moved across enough to not call it a wide. Ireland maintained the three-over advantage till the end, coasting to victory with 15 balls to spare. Smith likely had a point, and looked West Indies' best batter of the innings.

“Incredible day for us, to get over the line in the fashion we did was amazing. Ireland, which had previously lost to Zimbabwe before coming from behind to win, put on a masterful display against the formidable Windies with both bat and ball to advance to the Super 12 round. Ireland’s openers Paul Stirling and captain Andrew Balbirnie gave them a fantastic start as they chased a goal of 147.

“Incredible day for us, to get over the line in the fashion we did was amazing. Look forward to the next few weeks,” said Delany, who was adjudged Player for the Match. The experienced right-hander, who was not in the best of forms, showed his class by hitting two sixes and six fours in his blemishless innings. The emphatic win also improved Ireland's run rate and gave them an opportunity to finish as the group-toppers. He gave away 14 runs in his first over as the boundaries continued to flow from both ends. All four teams in the group, which also includes Scotland and Zimbabwe, headed into a do-or-die situation with one win and one loss.

The defeat to Ireland means West Indies, a two-time champion, is out of the T20 World Cup in Australia.

"I think when you sum it up, we were outplayed in all departments today. We batted well at the start but didn't carry on, and they just batted well and batted us out of the game." "We just didn't turn up today," Simmons said after the West Indies were thrashed by nine wickets by Ireland in a match they had to win to progress to the Super 12 stage.

We haven't assessed the situation properly of the day and done what's necessary for the situation. It's just on the day, we haven't done the correct things. “A thorough post-mortem will be carried out on all aspects of our World Cup preparation and performance, and that solutions will be found in keeping with CWI’s strategy to improve the quality and sustainability of cricket on all fronts, and in all formats.

"Untimely shot selections seem to be deeply embedded in the T20 batting culture of our senior team," the CWI president says.

In contrast, Ireland struck six fours and four sixes in the first six overs of their chase. West Indies noticeably struggled against spin through the middle overs in all three of their games. "I am deeply disappointed with the performance results of our team in Australia and I appreciate the sense of utter frustration that is being experienced by many," Skerritt's statement said. "I want to assure stakeholders that a thorough postmortem will be carried out on all aspects of our World Cup preparation and performance and that solutions will be found in keeping with CWI's strategy to improve the quality and sustainability of cricket on all fronts, and in all formats. "The ongoing inability of our batsmen to prevail over opposing slow bowling continued to be an obvious weakness in Australia, and untimely shot selections seem to be deeply embedded in the T20 batting culture of our senior team." In a statement posted on CWI's website and on Twitter, Skerritt laid the blame firmly at the feet of West Indies' batters, saying their poor shot selection and failure against spin was key to the two-time champions bowing out in the first round of the tournament in Australia.

The West Indies T20 dynasty came to an end in Abu Dhabi last year but their Round One exit in the 2022 World Cup represents a new nadir.

This is clearly illustrated in the significant decline in the percentage of attempted yorkers bowled to the West Indies in World Cups. The rise of data analysis has made the West Indies power-hitters easier to plan for and the rise of middle overs enforcers—bowlers who bowl fast & short through the middle—has countered their predominant technique of front foot, full length power-hitting. The problems posed by larger boundaries are most clearly apparent in the West Indies numbers against spin which were awful in both the 2021 and 2022 tournaments. The West Indies T20 success was built on an outlier method of boundary-hitting and in particular six-hitting. In fact, the West Indies attacked more in the 2022 World Cup than any previous edition. Although the West Indies could do nothing about the passing of time they could have done more to phase out this golden generation who were arguably persisted with for too long and undermined transition planning.

“However, I want to assure stakeholders that a thorough post-mortem will be carried out on all aspects of our World Cup preparation and performance and that solutions will be found in keeping with CWI’s strategy to improve the quality and sustainability of cricket on all fronts, and in all formats,” Skerritt said. “The going inability of our batsmen to prevail over opposing slow bowling continued to be an obvious weakness in Australia, and untimely shot selections seem to be deeply embedded in the T20 batting culture of our senior team,” he said. “I am deeply disappointed with the performance results of our team in Australia and I appreciate the sense of utter frustration that is being experienced by many,” Skerritt said in a statement on Friday.

"It's so bad for their cricket. They've got too much talent in that team"

"But they're going to have to find a few lengths if they're going to compete against the Aussies with the current group that the Australians have got. Cricket's a funny game, but they're going to have to play out of their skins I think to make the first two Tests entertaining." "And even one of their main players not making it to the flight to get over here for a World Cup... "I didn't need to see that to make me more worried about the first couple of Test matches," Ponting said. [Nicholas] Pooran and these guys, they're much better players than what we've seen over the last couple of weeks so no doubt there'll be some soul-searching done when they get back.
