00:00Under Ravman Pawel, spinners Akhil Hussain and Gudakish Moti enjoyed the most success
00:05so far in their careers for the West Indies.
00:08Hussain has taken 35 wickets at an economy of 7.07 runs during the period of 2022-2024
00:17in 67 matches.
00:18Moti has been slightly less economical, taking 23 wickets at an economy rate of 7.57 runs
00:25over the same period, but he has played less than half the matches of Hussain.
00:29However, was it Pawel's brilliance that caused the spinners to be effective or did it come
00:35down to their individual skills with the ball?
00:37Well, Hussain indicated that some fans are not appreciating their efforts in tandem.
00:42Instead, he says critics are trying to create a chasm between the two gentlemen.
00:47Sometimes the critics really need to zip their mouths a bit and stay quiet because I think
00:52these things can hinder West Indies cricket and hinder players as well and cause split
00:57in friendships and those are things you don't want.
01:01Hussain is at present the number one T20 bowler while Moti, who was ranked second in 2024,
01:07is now ranked 12th.
01:08Pawel often opened the bowling with Hussain while Moti was used in the middle overs.
01:13Together they saw the team rise from 9th to 5th in the ICC T20 rankings.
01:18This picture that they are painting, that's not how it is on the ground and in our team.
01:25It's not that at all.
01:26We're a tight family.
01:27We're a close-knit group so you know hopefully these critics can sit back and find something
01:33better to do as I would say because I know that there are a lot of talks about myself
01:38and Moti and at the end of the day, we see ourselves as spin twins for West Indies trying
01:44to achieve all the success we can for West Indies.
01:47We are in the top 10.
01:49With Pawel no longer the captain, it's left to be seen if his replacement Shea Hope can
01:53make the best use of the spinners towards the success of West Indies cricket.
