http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760: Caribbean batsmen to watch out for in 3rd ODI
The West Indian batting line-up performed below to its weight in the first two One Day Internationals (ODIs). In the last game, the Caribbean top-order performed outstandingly but the lower-order failed to carry the momentum forward. However, they will not
have any room to make mistakes, as the third clash of the five-match series is a make-or-break situation for the home side.
Although, there are many potential players in the West Indian batting department, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DM-Bravo-c1386 will be the main batsmen to watch out for.
Lendl Simmons
Simmons is a classy right-handed batsman with an excellent blend of attack and responsibility. He will be one of the most important players in the 3rd ODI as he has been performing well in the series so far. Although, the Caribbean side has a
talented line-up, Simmons’ presence at the top-order is very crucial.
In the last game, he hit a beautiful half-century which eventually helped the hosts to pile up a decent total. The 26-year-old has represented his country in 26 ODIs and holds an average of a little under-30. Simmons’ challenge in the epic encounter will
be to lay a solid foundation for the middle-order to post a big score on the board.

Sarwan is a talented and reliable batsman who has extraordinary batting skills. Sarwan is a combination of aggression and sensibility. Perpetuating the form of the World Cup, he is making some glaring marks in the series. Although, the team lost their previous
game, Sarwan gave his one hundred percent, scoring a steady half-century.
In his overall ODI career, the elegant batsman has played 170 matches in which he collected 5540 runs at an average of 43.28. With a hard-line approach against both spin and pace, the 30-year-old right-hander is truly a match-winning competitor in every
version of the game.
Marlon Samuels
Samuels is surely one of the most explosive players in the crucial encounter between the two cricketing giants, India and West Indies. A powerful player who treats bowlers with no respect, Samuels possesses talent plus skill. The 30-year-old batsman is such
a dangerous player that the best of the bowlers fear from his destructive batting. He holds the confidence and guts to bat aggressively and loves to play attacking cricket.
At an average of 30.23, the blistering batsman has scored 2661 runs in 114 ODIs. Samuels can change the course of the game within a few moments with his aggressive show with the bat. He showed a little glimpse of his talent by hitting a quick knock of 36
in the previous game.
Darren Bravo
Bravo is a talented and skilled young batsman. The stylish batsman is a confident, composed and courageous player who loves to play powerful strokes and sterling boundaries. Bravo is yet to smash his first international ton and the 3rd ODI will
be a perfect occasion for the 22-year-old batsman to prove his worth.
He is the younger brother of the blazing all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379, who was excluded from the 13-member squad for the third ODI. In his 26 ODIs, the stylish left-hander holds an average of 31.75 which is a bit low for a player of his talent.
The Windies have all the weapons in their batting crew to destroy Indian bowling line-up. But, they will have to show consistency and temperament in order to produce something special against a tough opposition.
