Rashid's first over was absolutely awful... He's not usually this bad, is he?

WTF was that first ball? :confused:

And nah, he's not. Obviously not sending them down very well at the moment; happens with leggies sometimes especially when they've had a bit of a break from cricket like he has. I was wondering why it'd taken them so long to bring him into the attack.. now I see why.

He's looked steady the few times I've seen him bowl before, was super suprised at the first over he bowled.

Yeah, completely understand the whole thing re: being a leggie, as I am one myself. Just seemed really odd that he didn't even seem to attempt to bowl a leg-break till the back end of the over. Some days as a leggie though, it can feel like a challenge just to get the ball to the other end so I see what his issue is, especially in T20 - the mindset can default back to a dot ball being a good result, so pushing it to the other end is sometimes an option rather than risking a loose leg-break.

There was more than that, they're just the highest profile ones. The ongoing fighting with the West Indian players and the WICB has been going on for years and is embarrassing. If you ask me, they should start playing for free until they can dish up something to the paying public that resembles First Class Cricket, then work up to a pay scale in line with the quality output. Works that way in other "Industries"

Really? Please tell me more....
:dry:
i'd love to know which West Indians other than Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard refused to sign a central contract.

Talking of Pollard, I can't believe he opened the bowling!
:laugh:
At least he has a wicket to his name now, and 1-15 from three overs. Will he bowl at the death?

What a strange innings, between Rashid, Warner, Tait not opening the bowling, bizarre stuff... But still kind of facinating.
