#6 West Indies - Kemar Roach

In the dying moments of the West Indies' second game of the tournament, legendary fast bowler Michael Holding, who was in the commentary box, criticised the team's tactics of not playing Kemar Roach.

Roach has been the spearhead of the West Indies' pace attack in the last couple of years but Oshane Thomas and Sheldon Cottrell have been preferred over him. However, against a strong batting line-up such as Australia's, West Indies missed some experience in the middle and Roach could just about be the answer to their issues.


#5 South Africa - Beuran Hendricks

South Africa's World Cup 2019 has got to be the worst start possible. Apart from being beaten in all three matches and all the controversies surrounding AB de Villiers, the Proteas have lost their most experienced bowler, Dale Steyn, because of an injury.

South Africa's fast bowlers, barring Rabada, have looked hapless which presents a case for the inclusion of Dale Steyn's replacement, Beuran Hendricks in the playing XI.

Hendricks might have played just two ODIs but has the reputation of being a wicket-taker and might just be the right kind of bowler that South Africa need at this point of time.
