Kenya vs West Indies, 3rd ODI
The third ODI nearly went very wrong indeed for the West Indians. As if not content with allowing Tony Suji to take three wickets virtually unchallenged, the West Indian bowlers suddenly found themselves quite unable to get Ravi Shah out. The opener has been in terrific form all series, top-scoring in every one of Kenya's three games, and this was obviously no exception. His stellar 137 put Kenya in a position where they might actually have overturned West Indies' 268. Thankfully for the visitors, Reon King was able to step up to the plate when it mattered and to end the right-hander's innings in the nick of time.
West Indies finish the series at 3-0, but what do they learn from this outing? Ricardo Powell has shown that when he gets going he is able to score very quickly indeed, but there remain question marks over his ability against world class bowling. Keith Hibbert did similarly, but as we all expect Ridley Jacobs to take the gloves back for, well, the rest of his career, how he gets back into the West Indies squad is pretty unclear. And as for the experiment of Ridley Jacobs as an ODI opener, that appears to be resoundingly over.
