West Indies vs Australia, ODIs: Players rating for hosts Image

After a thumping 4-1 victory in the T20I series, West Indies lost the three-match ODI series by 2-1. The home side was no match to a depleted Australia squad. They were let down by shambolic batting performances.

Here are players ratings for the hosts:

Hayden Walsh Jr 8.5 (M 3 W 7 Ave 16 Ec 4.14)

Walsh claimed a five wickets in the opening match within a space of 18 balls. He bowled economically in the other two matches as well.

Joseph had 2-40 from 10 overs in the first ODI. In the second, he claimed three more.

Akeal Hosein 8 (M 3 W 6 Ave 18.16 Ec 3.63)

Hosein was expensive in the first game, conceding 50 but picking up two wickets. In the second, he broke Australia’s middle-order with three wickets in six balls.

Jason Holder 6.5 (M 3 R 57 Ave 19 W 1 Ec 5.35)

Holder returned after a long layoff due to an injury, and the rust was clearly visible. But he played a crucial role in the West Indies’ only win, smashing 52 off 69.

Nicholas Pooran 6.5 (M 3 R 62 Ave 84 SR 74)

Pooran remained unbeaten on 59, and forged a crucial partnership of 93 for the sixth wicket with Holder to see his team past the finishing line.

Kieron Pollard 6 (M 3 R 69 Ave 23 SR 80)

Pollard helped West Indies avoid an embarrassing situation in the first ODI. He scored almost half of West Indies’ total of 123.

Darren Bravo 2 (M 3 R 20 Ave 6.66)

Bravo squandered all three opportunities, and may find it difficult to retain his spot.

Shimron Hetmyer 2 (M 2 R 17)

Not a good series for Hetmyer, who played the first and last games and failed in both.

Jason Mohammed 1.5 (M 2 R 13 runs)

An ordinary campaign for Mohammed, who was dropped after two failures.
