 Right after that intense segment, let's start a cricket loan to cricket now, West Indies will hope to seal their first ODI series win against England since 2007, when they face off in the second of their three-match series on Wednesday at the Sir Vivian Richard Stadium in Antigua and Barbuda. The winners have a one-nil advantage heading into the game after winning the first match on Sunday by four wickets at the same venue. West Indies captain Shay Hope is keen on securing the series win on Wednesday. Like I said, any time you cross, you have to, the main focus has to be to win. Every time you play cricket games, West Indies is so much more than just development. Yes, it's a big thing for us, especially in this particular situation that we face. But as I said, we won up in the series, we've got a great chance to win the series of this. Yeah, the West Indies captain Shay Hope, they are joining us via Zoom to preview the encounter. Cricket analyst Fazir Mohamed Faiz, it's great to have you back. First of all, I want to get your opinion on how good you thought the West Indies were in the first ODI on Sunday and whether you think they can have a repeat performance or even get better in tomorrow's second ODI. I thought it was an excellent performance and hopefully my audio is a lot better than what we were from Shay Hope just a little while ago with all that wind in the background at the East of the Vienna return stadium. But yeah, I mean, however you slice it or dice it, chasing 326, a two-page pitch, five wickets down for 200 and change, Shay Hope going along at the pace that we know him capable of doing, but waiting for the acceleration and still winning with an over despair, a tremendous performance overall, and it really sets the stage for that second match tomorrow. And yes, you can argue that England with a lot of their key players rested a very inexperienced bowling attack with the exception of Sam Curran who went for nearly 100 runs. But really for both teams, this is part of our process. And I think this is what we need to recognize that if you can make winning a habit, as I'm sure Hope was alluding to, looking to make it two, nearly clinched the series. Yes, it's important. Winning a series is important when you play to win. Our first one-day series victory over England since 2007 is on the cards. But more importantly, you want to develop those skills, those habits, to use that familiar phrase, that muscle memory that takes you over the line more often than not because the Westonese have a long way to go because they're not going to be in the Champions Trophy in 2025. They have to ensure that they can qualify for 2027, which may not be as straightforward as many people think. So yes, in summation, that performance on Sunday was excellent, but it's just one win to start the process. Yeah, very much the case, fans. I want to talk about Ramaria Shepard. I spoke about him during the Caribbean Premier League because I saw something in him then that I'm not sure I had seen before. And I said to myself, Ramaria Shepard could be a real difference maker for Westonese limited overstheems and the type of success we have going forward. And his performance on Sunday again, quite brilliant, especially with the baton, the innings that he played. And today I was thinking about it and I thought to myself, could Ramaria Shepard be the Westonese's own Lance Kluzner type player? He could, but he has to be more consistent. That's the bottom line, Ricardo and Mariah. When we're talking about Westonese moving forward, it's all well and good to have one fantastic match, one fantastic performance. And indeed, you can argue that, and I'm sure you've alluded to it, not to maybe as a straight forward man, but talked about Ramaria Shepard, his value to the team, you could argue that Ramaria Shepard was more man of the match, given his intervention and the acceleration that he brought to the Westonese effort and therefore paved the way for Shayhop, taking nothing away from the captain. When you got a hundred and you win it in the end, three sixes to clinch the bat, you're obviously going to be at the head of the queue. But two wickets and his contribution with the bat. And yes, there will be moments of luck. I don't think England board particularly well. But again, you have a situation where Ramaria Shepard showed what he is capable of. We need to see that more often than not, not one match on Sunday and then don't see much again for another two or three matches. That is not what is required. You need to see a level of consistent excellence. If you want to build towards not just qualifying for a World Cup, but once again being a force to reckon with on the international stage. And Fazz, we have to also recognize the contributions of the openers. Alec Athenez, in particular, is one that I felt as if, you know, he made the job a bit easier for Shayhop when he got into bat. Because for me, and we've always spoken about that, once you have a good opening partnership, it's easier to build on that. And for me, it feels really good to talk about that, to be sitting here and discussing that, you know, we had a good opening partnership and it gave the batters to come an easier job. Now, don't get me wrong, it was still a lot of runs to get, but still you had something to build on. Yes, it was a good platform. Anytime you can get an opening stand of 104, that's good. But what's important, Mariah, is to understand the rate of scoring as well. And also for those two at the top of the order to carry on. I think Alec Athenez is too much of a good player to settle with 50-something or 60-something. I think he has that ability, that innate touch. If you watch him, they're playing to the onside, especially the ball just kisses the face of the bat, playing it through the onside. You can see the hand-eye coordination. Yes, it took Brandon King a while to get going. He might be out of touch a bit. But when he's on some, he's a delight to behold. But it is not good enough. If we're talking about taking on the Australians of this world, South Africa and their bowling attack, India and their bowling attack, to just get to 50-50 odd and give it away or play a poor shot or lose concentration. We saw that from Alec Athenez in the regional Super 50, in the early exchanges when his team, the Windwards, were taking on Guyana. He was leading the way, blazing away and then just gave it away with a poor shot and the Windwards lost the match. So again, bring it to the higher level for someone of his talent. You've got to be able to capitalise. You've got to be able to say, look, whether it's Athenez, whether it's Brandon King, whether it's anyone else, when you have an opportunity to really turn the screws, you do so for your team first and foremost, but also for yourself because you develop that habit of getting the big scores and not being satisfied with just over 50. Right, and Fazz, we're still hoping that we can get a big score from Shimran Hetmayer, but I'll leave that discussion for today and just touch on quickly with the time that we have left. The miss-fields that we saw, in particular from Gurukesh Moti, Fazz, for me, in the second ODI, we're hoping that word that you just use, concentration, that the players, despite how difficult it gets, because being out there in the field for quite some time is very difficult, but can keep that concentration and ensure that we don't have those miss-fields because I think it really comes back to haunt us as the runs pile on. Mariah, I appreciate your sympathy for the West Indies team, but I have no sympathy for players who make fundamental mistakes because it's three and a half hours. Yes, it might be boiling hot sun, whatever it is, but it's the same for everybody else. So the fact of the matter is that if we want, as the West Indies, to get back up to the highest level, because we're not. We are at the lower reaches right now. Let's face it, we couldn't qualify for the last World Cup. You could dance around it, how much you want. That's a fact and that's a historical fact. If you want to get back up to the highest level, you have to do so with consistent excellence, not once in a while excellence, and that includes feeling. In fact, more than anything else that includes feeling, when West Indies won the first World Cup in 1975, the great Vivian Richard starred in the match, not with the bat, not with the ball, but affecting three runouts. So again, it brings home the point that feeling should be unnon-negotiable. Fitness should be unnon-negotiable. There may be many other variables, but these things surely should not be a discussion point when we're talking about West Indies cricket moving forward. Yeah, well, you know what Faiz, unlike Mariah, I can't dance, so I am very much with you on that point. Thanks very much Faiz. We'll be catching up again soon following Wednesday's second one-day international. Take care. Vicky, I'll leave you to deal with that quizzical look from Mariah. Oh, no. Why me?
