The PowettPlay Podcast dissect the current state of the 2nd Test. Expert insight from Jordan Shannon and West Indies Test cricketer Kieran Powell, as they break down how the West Indies can win the 2nd Test against Australia.

He urges West Indies bowlers to bowl straighter lines to make the most of the surface. Jordan adds that West Indies must take every chance that comes their way dropped catches or missed run-outs could be the difference between victory and defeat in what promises to be a thrilling finish. With Day 3 looming, it's the West Indies slightly ahead, but with Australia always dangerous, this Test match is on a knife's edge.

In this thought-provoking episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell look into the West Indies Test team, asking the big question: With the talent at their disposal, can the West Indies build more depth and become a stronger Test team? Kieran Powell shares insight off the back of Daren Sammy's recent comments on player expectations and selection requirements. Could this open the door for the return of explosive opener Evin Lewis? The hosts debate whether the dynamic left-hander who brings a Chris Gayle/Virender Sehwag type presence at the top of the order still has a role to play in shaping a more formidable Windies lineup. With that in mind, the conversation expands to whether Shimron Hetmyer and Sherfane Rutherford, both experienced white bal; talents, could be integrated to strengthen the middle order. Kieran also highlights spin bowling depth suggesting Khary Pierre and Rahkeem Cornwall as valuable second spin options in conditions that favour spin bowling, adding tactical flexibility to the West Indies squad. As always, Kieran backs his points with superb cricketing insight and sharp analysis, making this a must-listen for fans of Caribbean cricket and global cricket strategies alike.

In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell jump straight into the 2nd T20 between England and West Indies. Kieran breaks down the late-innings charge by the Windies, pointing out how going hard and staying aggressive can completely change the complexion of a T20 innings.

The episode wraps with Kieran once again emphasizing the need for high-performance preparation camps ahead of international series, and the growing importance of mentorship and player development in West Indies cricket.
