Hopefully, Uncle Phil can show these guys, some tapes of the BOWLING ~

Roston Chase is Man of the Match for his 94 and 2 for 31.

"Pitch was offering some assistance, worked in my favour.
Fingers were working today, so it was my day.
I wanted to have fun with the ball.
Captain told me a couple of days before the game that I should look to bat deep
and bat like I do in a Test if I get a chance early, did just that."

ODI debut : Romario Shepherd

Surprise !!!! a Guyana player actually got selected !

AND as usual , when that happens :

West Indies won by 7 wickets with 21 balls to spare ~~~~

43.5
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Chase, OUT, would you believe it? Chase is gone looking for a glory hit.
Saw this dropped short and looked to deposit it into the stands at deep midwicket to get his century.
Instead, he sees the bails rattled as he was too early into the pull.

The ball just didn't come on and his wait for a maiden ton continues.
What a brilliant knock it has been nonetheless ~

West Indies take 1-0 lead over Afghanistan !

and take the series sweep !
