The "Scorecard says it's all over, but my team can still win" thread: Jeetsing

[morgieb]

I remember people talking about him. He was blasting Wellington for selecting random Australians like Merchant, Rhodes, Herrick etc wasn't he? Had a very good point tbh.

Is he any good?

The same Herrick who's been one of Australia's best bowlers in the Shield this season?

Pfft, sif that puny comp means anything.

iirc he got absolutely carted in the first innings over here then got 4fer in between the boundaries in the next.

Sounds like he was an entertaining watch.

I don't know if the message of this thread is a "trolling" one or not but I firmly believe one must never surrender. Just have a look at some of the great test match wins of modern times, have not all of them come in "lost" matches? Sure they are few in number but what if the great Ian Botham had said "w.e i'll just go out and wildly swing my bat so I can have some beer later?" What if the great Lara had thought the match lost at 100 for five ? Cricket would be so much poorer.

Depends what you consider "lost"

Yeah, he should have had more opportunities than he's had really, but the guy's a grade A ****.

Sometimes you can't have both. If he's a disruptive influence in a side, it negates a lot of skill you may bring to the table.

Jeetsing..poor guy. Any time NZ were way behind the eight-ball and no one wanted to talk about it, out rolled Jeets to explain how we were going to chase 500 with him coming in at No.10. Legendary

You said the same thing about heroin, and how'd that end up for you?

Just like Jeets himself.

Jeetsing: to somehow be selected for international cricket and be thought of as a good player by commentators and other media despite providing no evidence in your entire career to uphold these circumstances.
