Star all-rounder Roston Chase feels Windies batsman ability to clear the ropes with ease is one of the main reason why the defending World T20 champions are so strong in the shortest format of the game.
Speaking to The Pioneer, the 28-year old who is currently representing St Lucia Zouks in the 2020 edition of Caribbean Premier League said, “I think that our (Windies) batting is the main reason why we are so strong in the T20 format because we are natural-born hitters and our guys find it so much easier than most of the other countries to just clear those ropes and go for the maximum. We guys are big, strong and powerful. So I guess that’s the main reason why we are so strong in T20s,” he said.
“Also another one of my observation is that T20 is short, so there is not much time for you to get back in the game. And I guess that is one of our downfalls over the years in the longer format. I think that we struggle to do the small things and right things consistently over a period of time. But as I said, T20 is short; you don’t have to concentrate for an extended period. So yeah, it is not a big task for other teams to get back with the game, once we get the upper hand. So that’s one more reason why we are so strong,” he added.
