    Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell return on the PowettPlay Podcast to analyse the West Indies’ impressive victory over New Zealand in the first One Day International. The hosts praise a disciplined West Indies bowling performance that restricted a strong New Zealand batting line-up, with particular focus on the successful debut of exciting young left-arm wrist-spinner Vitel Lawes. They also highlight Alzarri Joseph’s execution at the death and the importance of the bowling unit maintaining pressure throughout the innings. Shai Hope’s outstanding leadership and remarkable consistency are central to the discussion. Jordan and Kieran examine how the West Indies captain continues to set the standard through his performances, decision-making and professionalism, establishing himself as a world-class, multi-format role model for the players around him. The episode also celebrates Keacy Carty’s match-winning contribution and considers the tactical changes made to the West Indies batting order. Did the adjustments provide greater balance, and could they become a long-term solution as the series progresses? With raw talent beginning to combine effectively with experienced leadership, the hosts discuss whether this victory represents another important step towards a more consistent and competitive West Indies ODI team.

  • Kieran Powell Picks His XI For The 1st ODI vs New Zealand | PowettPlay Podcast

    Kieran Powell Picks His XI For The 1st ODI vs New Zealand | PowettPlay Podcast
    Jul 10 2026
    In the latest episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and former West Indies international Kieran Powell look ahead to the West Indies’ upcoming One Day International series against New Zealand, analysing the key selection decisions, tactical match-ups and challenges facing the Caribbean side. Kieran outlines his predicted West Indies starting XI and breaks down the potential roles of several key players, including the ongoing debate over whether captain Shai Hope should continue to take the wicket-keeping gloves alongside his crucial responsibilities as one of the team’s leading batters. The discussion also focuses heavily on the batting order, with Justin Greaves emerging as a potential option to open the innings and Keacy Carty coming under the spotlight following a recent dip in form. Jordan and Kieran debate why backing players through difficult periods can be important and whether consistency in selection could ultimately benefit the West Indies ODI setup.Attention then turns to the bowling attack, possible rotation strategies and the importance of carefully managing player workloads during a demanding international schedule. With several players expected to feature across multiple formats, the hosts assess how the West Indies can balance immediate results with the longer-term need to keep key players fresh and available. Facing a high-quality New Zealand side presents another major test, and the conversation explores the tactical discipline required to compete against one of international cricket’s strongest teams. Jordan and Kieran also assess how conditions in Guyana could shape the series, from pitch behaviour and scoring patterns to the possible influence of spin and variations in the bowling attack. Can the West Indies find the right balance in their starting XI? Should Justin Greaves open the batting? Is it time to reconsider Shai Hope’s wicket-keeping workload? And will the selectors continue to back Keacy Carty?#WestIndiesCricket #WICricket #NewZealandCricket #WIvsNZ #WestIndies #BlackCaps #ODICricket #CricketPodcast #CricketAnalysis #ShaiHope #KieranPowell #JustinGreaves #KeacyCarty #PowettPlay #CaribbeanCricket Learn more about your ad choices.

  • West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Review

    West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Review
    Jul 8 2026
    The PowettPlay Podcast returns as hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell are joined once again by Roger Tracey from Massive Hitz Cricket to analyse a historic moment for West Indies cricket following their first home Test series victory over Sri Lanka in more than two decades. The panel breaks down the key performances that shaped the 2nd Test, celebrating the impressive batting displays from Justin Greaves and Shai Hope, whose consistency continues to be a major driving force for the West Indies. A major talking point centres around Hope's role behind the stumps, with Jordan, Kieran and Roger debating whether asking one of the world's premier batters to keep wicket could ultimately affect his longevity, workload and ability to produce match-winning performances with the bat. The discussion also examines the discipline and control shown by the West Indies bowling attack throughout the series before turning attention to the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand. The hosts share their thoughts on the exciting inclusion of highly-rated young spinner Vitel Lawes and what his selection could mean for the future of West Indies cricket. Finally, the conversation explores the wider development of the game across the Caribbean, questioning why legendary figures such as Curtly Ambrose are not more actively involved within the regional coaching structure and discussing how greater access to former greats could benefit the next generation of West Indies players. #WestIndies #Windies #WestIndiesCricket #Cricket #CricketPodcast #ShaiHope #JustinGreaves #VitelLawes #CurtlyAmbrose #NewZealandCricket #SriLankaCricket #ODICricket #TestCricket #CaribbeanCricket #PowettPlayPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
