Batting
Top Order
West Indies have got Chris Gayle, Dwayne Smith and Marlon Samuels at the top of batting order. Caribbean side has got one of the top opening pairs in 2015 world cup as Chris Gayle and Dwayne Smith both can play destructive cricket from the start of innings. Chris Gayle is one of the best and most dangerous openers of world cricket. He can score against any kind of bowling attack on his day.
Marlon Samuels is a combo of defensive and destructive batsman as he can score 15-20 runs in an over and on the other hand in next over he’ll make just 2-3. He can play according to the situation. Hence West Indies has good top order batting in world cup.
