Marlon Samuels has had a horrid time with the bat in the last two tournaments but he managed to show some dogged resistance in the middle in the last encounter. His knock of 46 runs of 106 was entirely out of character as he usually likes to throw his bat around. His inconsistency is a cause of concern for the West Indies because when he makes an impact it is usually a match-winning impact.

The middle-order needs a bit of muscle as the opening batsmen are liable to falter and the effectively of the lower-order depends upon the foundation created by the likes of Simmons, Darren Bravo and Samuels. The time he spent in the middle would have given him some confidence and that might evoke a better performance in the fourth ODI.
