Yeah a rare example where he based his opinion on short term thinking, not the long term plan.

Yeah I'm not sure he should be in the side at all but he's being treated like the second coming of Keith Miller with the new ball on Day 1 and a plum batting position.
Honestly not even convinced he's better than Greaves anymore.

What happened to Keemo Paul ? I thought he was going to be a big star for West Indies

Moooo
Yes, he’s been getting a bit bombastic lately, maybe that’s his new schickt? At times their Twitter posts are cringe

I'd also like some insight on this.

He is in the business sector in an economy that is growing rapidly in Guyana.

(Franchise cricket has lit his eyes up)
He made a decent splash in the IPL that year when he was playing in front of QDK.
The SA franchise also had him.
He opted out of a WI contract…and the rest is history.
He is still considered for the T20I team tho

Can only make runs against Bangladesh.

Jason Holder’s role as a bowler is holding down the score of runs. He is not a strike bowler. Why is he bowling with the new ball? He swings it more. I recall a time when he was captain that he’d opened the bowling and get success early. However, this is mostly in the second innings of a test match.

I'd also add that he was never that good at white ball bowling and yet has constantly been pigeon holed for those formats.
He has an insane red ball record and yet never plays. Injuries at the wrong time haven't helped.
Another example of us wasting talent.

It’s a weird cycle. Perform in red ball, FC…get picked for WI…perform…get picked up by franchise…suck in said franchises…into obscurity.
Then, make an emphatic return!

I would like to see him play a season of red ball cricket, dominate as he always does. I rate him as a red ball bowler.

Moooo
I don’t think we’ll see him again in that format
