The First Test ... This youth is better than Lewis, Powell and Ambris

HETMYER FOR ....
In reply to ellisstreet
Investing in real youth...I seh yeah. The irony is Pakistan would done so. Known for such policies.
He had quite a few good starts for Guyana this season but just threw them away. Hope he converts this one.... just needs to temper that aggression a bit
Hetmeyer is a real talent. I have no issues with his selection for the Pres XI but will not rush him into the test squad.
Absolutely not ready for TEST cricket
Pakistan bowling attack will be strong, I say its a blessing in disguise for those young ones missing this series.

You think that would impede Powell's chances of a return?
In reply to Drapsey
Both can play in the squad. As we speak Hetmeyer gone for 97. Powell is livid!
Let me tell you something. The West Indies Hierarchy want Powell as Captain.
Oops, out for 97.
Hety caught Younus Khan b Yasir Shaw 97
Shame he didn't get his century, but this time he didn't give it away, he edged a good delivery from Yasir Shah and was brilliantly caught at slip by Younis Khan. There's no shame in that. I watched most of his innings and his strokeplay was stunning, he basically caned a World class bowling attack.
I say give him the rest of the season, play him in all tour/A team matches and maybe then select him on the tour of England. He just needs to get a couple more hundreds to his name to go with his consistency.

Hetmyer in my opinion is ready for the big show..WI are in need of a good attacking batsman in the Roy Fredricks mode..Hety is no Fredricks yet but I think he has real talent...toss him into the deep end let's see how he copes.
Coach Law will request his inclusion in the Test squad
Leadership quality and strokeplayer. Groom him for OFI captaincy.
Hety need ah little more experience... hopefully he could be our Warner...
In reply to kingie
YOu fellas desperate boy....A batsman scores a coupla times and force ripe him in the Test team against a potent bowling attack like the Pakis'
When he fails he is dumped and he becomes history ...a budding talent destroyed. Is that the way we want it?
Said it eaflier in season that he'd be ready after another full season.
He's still learning to balance aggression and defence
He will be here for the long run.
In reply to anthonyp
Yes, he surely does. I wouldn't rush him.
On another note, I see Paul got 6 wickets. MASSIVE!
In reply to Hendra
The fellas nah learn. I like Hetymyer but give him some time still. Next season. My two favorite young Guyanese players: Hetmyer and Paul.
On a good note players from the U-19 championship team are performing well so far: Joseph, Carty, Paul, Hetmyer. Looking to hear more from Gidron Pope and Chemar Holder.
In reply to voiceofreason
If Shamar Springer gets a chance I'm sure he's gonna do good too... the youngsters need to play!
Time to get rid of some of the deadweight....
In reply to anthonyp
Ph I forgot about him too. Ryan John looked good too but Windwards too dam backwards.
In reply to voiceofreason
yea dem backwards
drop seebo and see wahpen
In reply to kingie
If you recall...Freddo early test innings were fighting innings...Freddo could be patient...he could graft...and of course could go after the bowling
Hety has not shown he could put his head down and bat...all his FC innings of note to date have been swashbuckling ones...
I have no doubt in my mind he is going to be our next real test opener in the mode of Freddo, Geeenidge and Haynes.....he already has all the shots....but he needs more mental development for test cricket....in dung heap he gives it away far too often.
Another full season or two he would be ready
In reply to Narper
between now and next season he and others should be doing A team tours
In reply to doosra
Correct.
In reply to Narper
Good points, it might be better for him to play regionals and A team to fully prepare him.
But I still would like to see him in WI team.

Jason Holder still speaks better ..... move aside Hety
Both Singh and Hetmyer must play the First TEST
