West Indies offspinner, Rahkeem Cornwall, is determined to have an impactful performance on the upcoming tour of New Zealand, after coming up empty-handed on the previous tour of England.

The 27-year has claimed 13 wickets in three Test matches so far but failed to have a major impact on the team's 2-1 loss to England.  Cornwall was added to the bowling line-up for the third Test and had a spell of 27 balls for 85 runs but did not get a wicket.

Cornwall might be going on a pleasant vacation, he most likely will be a practice bowler, I cannot see him playing in any Test, the WI should have been more practical and select either Permaul or Warrican to add variety to the bowling.

The constant headline harping of Mr Cornwall with size references/superlatives shows a worldwide bullying tendency

That is sad for a supposedly woke mass media
You just expect that kinda rum shop talk here

Not only on the Rumshop, when Cornwall played in the Test this year in England, it was reported that Twitter was lit up with comments from all over the cricket World. Worldwide fans were stun.

I think Cornwall is a good bowler under the "right" conditions (ball gripping and turning). However, if he can contribute regularly with the bat, he has a good chance of staying in or around the team.

to be honest the only spinner the west indies need is chase i'm not convinced that there is a test quality spinner in the wi.cornwall took ten against a afghanistan side and was brought back down to earth

well! he should be continuously working to improve as a cricketer. He has potential with both bat and ball but he must understand to grow takes hard, consistent work.
