Duration: 00:31:23West Indies Grindball saviours - where are they?
Dec 01, 2025Between 2021 and the summer of 2022 - West Indies pioneered a brand of cricket that we at the Caribbean Cricket Podcast coined 'grindball'.

That seems like a long time ago now as the West Indies top 7 struggle to last 50 balls never mind 100 each.
Machel jumped into the CCP studio to contrast grindball to what we are currently seeing in the 2025 West Indies Championship. Where are our saviours?
