First chance to look at Leveridge

He looks promising. Bowling good line and length and quick. Hopefully with time and more experience he can become another great West Indian bowler. Hopefully he doesn't end up in the 2020 leagues.

BTW what I have seen on Evin Lewis in the last two games, he tries to hit the ball too hard, just gets himself out of shape too often.

He's tall AND fast.

But other than 3/38 vs Guyana he has not been banging on the door. I am still impressed with Joseph.

I wouldn't go as far to say the future looks bright, but there is a little glow over the horizon!!!

Joseph, Leveridge, Roach, Taylor, Gabriel - a good 5 to choose from!!!

He's tall but doesn't really use all of his height... he collapses a bit at delivery and is slightly slingy....I do like him though...a lot to work with.. he's 26 but really more like a 20 year old in his development... he only started playing cricket a couple of years ago so he is very very raw !

You wrote that like if that is a good thing.

No... I suppose what I'm really saying is let's not have too high expectations of him at this stage.

Good observations. I noticed that collapsing on delivery towards the end of his spell. Something to work with.

Something to work with , noted on the collapsing, same with Capt Holder. Something that needs to worked on with our tall pacemen.
