Why is Walsh not playing? Thought he is a permanent fixture for limited overs..
That's a far cry from the intimidating t20 lineup of West indies.

Good Lord that batting is weak!
Tbf Lewis, Hety, Pollard, Russell and Allen are all missing. They are absolute lock ins for our best XI. So this was a second string lineup, now with the COVID absences it is distinctly third string.That's a far cry from the intimidating t20 lineup of West indies.
Not too favored by the captains it looks like...he was good against AUS in the Caribbean...maybe they felt that this wicket was too much inclined towards the batsman, and left Walsh out...Why is Walsh not playing? Thought he is a permanent fixture for limited overs..
Yeah..think he bowled decently in Dubai too..Not too favored by the captains it looks like...he was good against AUS in the Caribbean...maybe they felt that this wicket was too much inclined towards the batsman, and left Walsh out...
So our team management has got selection wrong in almost every match for the last 4 months. Playing only one spinner in these conditions seems ridiculous.Brilliant fielder and decent bat too. Not sure why he wont be picked, esp. in Asia.
And outside edgesOdean Smith needs a bush bath. Anyone looking at the scorecard will think he bowled dross. I actually think he's bowled ok, just extraordinarily unlucky with all those inside edges.
Tbf I have seen him bowl 150kph quite a few times. The man is seriously strong.Last ball was 152.8 kph from Shepherd.
Nah, I don't believe it
It was an innings under pressure...he can hit the long ball.Also, shepherd is a gun player. Saw him **** NZ-A around in a tour match and play one of the best t20 Innings/allround performances I've ever seen in the format in last years CPL in a DLS affected game, he's going to go far.
