Before today, the West Indies played 18 ODI matches in 2022 and won just four times—three away to the Netherlands and one at home to Ireland. But the West Indies were determined not to let it slip. Since then, he has been West Indies’ highest ODI scorer in this calendar year with 692 runs—50 more than opener Shai Hope. Today was Brooks’ first ODI at Bridgetown and his family and friends ensured the significance of that was not lost on him. West Indies fans will hope for an encore at the same venue on Friday and Brooks stressed that the team will strive for consistency.
