Seen him a couple times live at the ground in recent years in County Cricket and whilst I question the speedgun for T10 didn't watch it but would be surprised if he easily got to 150kph regularly in International cricket, he was noticeably quicker then the other bowlers I saw in most of those matches - very impressive for someone of his age!

There wasn't a speed gun I don't think, it was similar to what you said, he was just noticeably quicker and hurry the likes of Pooran on a slow track. Very impressive.

I'm looking forward to seeing Obed McCoy bowl. In the Super50, the few games that he played, he only took one wicket.
He was impressive in the Abu Dhabi T10 competition. Good thing is that he has variations. A better version of a Cottrell.

Yep he has been on the radar as a good middle overs ODI bowler for a while. Has a really good range of slower balls. I just feel he needs a run.

Cottrell never looks to be bowling well but always seems to pick up a couple wickets for reasonable rpo

Yeah, he certainly deserves a good run. In the term plans he will need fellow pacers whom to give support to. Jason Holder is one of those guys, but he lacks pace. Jayden Seales might be that guy. Anderson Philip as well. I don’t wanna include Nial Smith in the T20 setup because clearly he better suits the longer format of the game.

This is what happens when a team has too many hitters.

we need a guy or two who can dig in and rotate the strike

You were saying?

But agree, I just wonder who the best person for that job is? Seeing the lineup I thought the batting looked a tad light as well anyway - I think 2 big questions ahead of the WT20 is Pollard's bowling - is it good enough to be a 6th bowling option on all surfaces and Allen - can his batting be trusted enough if he is coming in as a 6th batsman or can he be a legitimate 5th bowler to allow him to play as one of 2 spinners, play 3 seamers and put in Hetmyer for one of the seamers perhaps down the line. Although even then that doesn't provide someone who can keep things ticking with singles.
