This is Kimo Roach, and I listen to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast.
Machel St Patrick Hewitt 1:01
Yes, yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another edition of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast. In about... Six and a half hours, I'm going to need to get up and make my way to Wales for the second ODI between England and the West Indies. But I'm mindful of the fact that I've not really recorded much. In between going to all of these matches and all of that, it's been difficult to just sit down and record some stuff, you know. My body's mashup. I've been taking this cricket thing seriously, this media thing seriously, just today. I've just come back home, you know. Today's been a mad one. I went to do some media duties to cover Reggae Boys versus Super Eagles in the Unity Cup final.

What prompted this discussion about Gudakesh Motie's drop in ODI form?

Machel St Patrick Hewitt 1:43
2-2, went to penalties. And Nigeria won that 5-4 on pens. So we've had a busy day. Can't stop, won't stop. Although, you know, got to look after yourself and all of that, people. But, yeah. Why am I going to Wales tomorrow? On a serious one. All logic suggests that I should just stand at my yard. Tandai a yard, yeah? And just don't go nowhere. Because all logic suggests it's going to be a lickdown in Wales tomorrow. But we just have to rally. No matter what you think about Caribbean Cricket Podcast, no matter what you think about me, Santolki, and some of the things that we say, and some people who think that we joke and laugh and blah, blah, blah.

What do Motie's recent ODI statistics reveal about his performance slump?

Machel St Patrick Hewitt 2:30
The one thing you can never, ever say, criticise about us is we will rally. Even when certain defeat looks on the cards, we're still going to rally. I have to go to Wales. i'm on half term from from my day job i go back to work on monday and so my thing is this if i'm free and west indies are playing then i just have to rally by hook or crook i have to rally all that said the six and a half hour wake up notwithstanding there there has been a pressing issue on on my mind and as you can tell from from the thumbnail big up devon for the thumbnail um

How has Motie's economy rate changed across recent series?

Machel St Patrick Hewitt 3:07
I want to talk about Gudakesh Malti. I was just about to say Gudakesh Santolki. Thing is, this ain't a friendship thing. And the people have to understand about Caribbean Cricket Podcast, none of this is a friendship thing. I will try my best to be completely neutral and analyse things and look at things on their merits. And if there is room to critique stuff, I will critique. And as of late, I think there's some interesting questions that need to be asked vis-a-vis Gudakesh Moti. So what I'm going to do is for those of you who are on X, you've already seen this. If you're not, I'm going to read it to you. On yesterday, in fact, yesterday, about 36 hours ago, I tweeted or posted the following on X. It said, some important noticing going on re Goodacash multi.
Machel St Patrick Hewitt 3:56
He has three wickets in his last eight ODIs and his economy is worsening.

Are other bowlers like Roston Chase now outperforming Motie with the ball?

Machel St Patrick Hewitt 4:01
By no means am I recommending a change in that area, but West Indies can't afford for him to not be taking wickets if they want to put pressure on the opposition. I repeat that line again. By no means am I recommending a change in that area. So I'm not doing this video to say Gudakesh Moti should be... Do you know how hard I'm trying to not say Gudakesh Shantoki? But I'm not doing this video to say Gudakesh Moti should be dropped. That's not the point of this video. But it is to raise a critique. And I think it's a valid critique. As I said, West Indies cannot afford for him to not be taking any wickets if they want to put pressure on the opposition. I'm not trying to say that Malti is the reason why we're letting teams score over 300 runs.
Machel St Patrick Hewitt 4:47
But I am saying that Malti is in the side as the premier spin wicket-taking option. Yes, we can talk about absence of a leg spinner. We can talk about all of that. But... To put it in perspective, Chase is currently out bowling him.
