The West Indies need to wake up and realize that this brand of ODI cricket is outdated. No other team in the world plays more dot balls per ODI game since the 2015 world cup than the West Indies. This same thing gets masked in T20 cricket because of their boundary hitters and the compressed nature of the game which provides urgency to their innings.
Maybe if England batted first and then the West Indies had a target to chase they would be better able to pace their batting effort.

Thome played with two Hall of Famers in his career, Griffey and Murray. The Kid appeared in 41 games after a trade from Cincinnati to Chicago to play with Thome for two players no longer in the league. Murray was at the tail end of his career in Cleveland and hit 38 home runs in 221 games from 1994-95.
