Leverage (Jamaica Scorpion)

The video may not have portrayed how fast and accurate he was bowling. He entertained us all with the ball, after holding up his end with the bat earlier.

Few spectators.....but we watched with admiration how Fudadin farmed the strike and kept Leverage around till the end by constantly talking to him. Psychologically, 200 likkle bit sounds more of a hurdle than 190 buff.

Officialdom says, Leveridge!

Leverage needs to bowl a sightly fuller length. His length is a bit negative and is more ik n line with bwing economical than wicket taking.

Bowling too short.. But he's bowling with serious pace beating the bat regularly

Are you watching it ?....no link seems to be working for me..just showing day 1 highlights... same for all the games.

If you are ... how has Thomas looked ?

You need to go on YouTube and search for windies channel and select day two for which match u wanna see..

And Thomas was bowling far slower than Leveridge.. Spraying it all over

Leveridge on the other hand was getting some away movement to the righ handers.. Was bowling a bit too short but he was beating the bat regularly

Thanks.... very interesting re Thomas....

In reply to anthonyp

Thomas has BPL issues, drop pace and effort!

Well I’m watching now.... he’s clicked into life... apparently changed ends and has taken 2 quick wickets and bowling with real speed, aggression and accuracy... great to see.

 
anthonyp 2019-01-05 15:42:25 

In reply to robbo

He's bowling faster in this second spell.. Maybe it's the change of ends probably wasn't comfortable from the end he bowled earlier

 
robbo 2019-01-05 15:46:23 

In reply to anthonyp

Yeah agree.... that’s what the commies are attributing it to.. good to see though it will be interesting to see if he can keep this up.

 
seaegg99 2019-01-05 15:46:27 

So happy to see these youngmen attacking the bastmen.

 
Spoilt101 2019-01-05 15:46:58 

He is bowling faster seems like his confidence was low in the first spell, but he is bowling with a lot of pace 2 wickets

 
robbo 2019-01-05 16:02:54 

Leveridge looks to be an improved bowler... he’s not quite as slingy as he was he was and his action looks more ‘stable’.... bowling with a lot of accuracy and pace.

 
Yamfoot 2019-01-05 21:38:10 

What is his background? Never heard about him in youth cricket coming up

 
dayne 2019-01-06 09:33:28 

Well it looks like the WWI are having more problems with the medium pace of the Rovman the the real pacers

 
Slipfeeler 2019-01-06 09:56:07 

Leveridge is more highly motivated after the success of Thomas. I always support the idea that competitive motivation will inspire players to perform consistently well and guarantee selection does the very opposite.

Absolutely right. Good coaches and admin know that.

So what's the problem with CWI admin and selectors? I am sure they should also know that!

In reply to Yamfoot

He is/was a soldier in the JDF... a very late starter to cricket he is about 27/28 years old now...Ian Bishop touted him a couple of years ago after seeing him in the nets... he’s been plagued by injuries and hasn’t really established himself in the Jamaican side yet.... he seems to have worked on his action and the ball seems to be coming out of his hand better (at least on the evidence of the three overs I saw on the live feed).... in the 50 over tourney prior to the 4 day stuff he touched 150 k’s....hopefully he can add a bit swing and movement.

Ambris has had a match to forget with the bat.
