Hety did not look comfortable

Succumbed to the pressure of the occasion.

IPL debut in front of a raucous crowd, under the bright lights

He’s not the first and won’t be the last. Nerves is a hell of a ting. Hety will be fine.


More concerning is Dukes’ absence. Hope he’s alright

All of Hetty's problems are in his head. He is believing the hype and in his mind he has arrived. Maybe this stint in a highly professional environment with Virat and AB will make him the player he has the talent to become.

Talented 21 year olds don't have head problems...they just over confident

In reply to ray The good lady just walked in from work, saw me at the computer watching cricket (Highlights of BCL 277) & asked, 'it's not on the tv?' I told her it's an old game that I'm watching. Minutes later, I got up & went to willow...guess what I saw? Hitman doing the dumbest shoite, ever - going for a run that even a blind shouldnt try!?

cry evil

Hety has been failing regularly for quite a while now. How long does he think he will be kept by the teams he has been representing? At this rate, he will soon be back with Young Warriors in Berbice.

Quite disappointing.

I am fine.Busy like a bee as I have a big event coming up in Guyana in 2 weeks.

Hetty playing too much cricket.He is stale and needs to recharge his batteries. Should not have played those 3 T 20's.

Most administrators and message board characters do not understand these things.

Wasnt about cricket..but psychology.

His face to me looked like someone trying to think too hard about relaxing...sure sign of nerves.

And that suicidal single...that says it all..he needs to work on the mental aspect of his game

I will hope it helps but I think he is in the wrong team. I think SRH or Delhi Capitals would suit him better.

So you are a psychologist, able to decipher Hetty's thinking from afar.

No sir, I am not.

But aren't body language and facial expressions clues to someone's thinking?

I claim to be no expert.

Just giving my opinion, and decided to share, to see if anyone else got the same impression.

It's make our break day for Hety. He will be lucky to play another match if he does not deliver today. Already he has misjudged a catch on the boundary which made him look silly and Virat angry.

 
jaba 2019-03-31 08:25:03 

Hety to open. big grin

Is Virat looking to eliminate Hety here?

 
Halliwell 2019-03-31 08:27:56 

In reply to jaba

I wish him well
Can play his recent ‘natural game’.
Giant total and power play in his favour

 
jaba 2019-03-31 08:29:53 

In reply to Halliwell

I agree. It's good for Hety. The fielders are up so he can swing to fences without any care.

 
jaba 2019-03-31 08:32:15 

Hety looks confused. Clear your head young man.

End of IPL 2019 for Hety.

 
jacksparrow 2019-03-31 08:50:30 

Though critical of Hety in expecting excellence I must say I feel a bit for him right now. The game demands a lot of mental toughness, even with the best natural talent, to stand out among the best.Not sure who is mentoring him or if he too big to learn but hope he develops that mental toughness.

 
jaba 2019-03-31 08:53:23 

In reply to jacksparrow

He was always going to be under pressure to deliver and this is where the toughness is needed.

You have said it. He is too big to learn. Got caught up in believing the hype. So sad.

Back to the drawing board.
Get that bowling machine and bat and bat and bat.

Hetmyer needs to stop depending on big hitting. When you are in a team with Kohli and AB and you are new to IPL, it's better to play a supporting role and not look to star. He should have known that his chances are wearing thin.

Establish and safeguard your pick first Hety.

Exactly he should be looking at keeping his stocks high.
Playing on such a large scale he should be aware that all eyes will be on him.
Play like you know people are expecting you to fail and use that to rise above. It's mental, but now making it look like he's lacking that mental toughness.

 
RemainsUnknown 2019-03-31 22:41:40 

The man out like a dunce today. SIMPLE.

After 2 consecutive failures, now starting your 3rd innings, captain at the other end, track good for batting, but you haven’t got your eyes in yet, and you decide to advance down the wicket, promptly missed the delivery and get stumped like a fool.

If he doesn’t get dropped to reflect, Kohli is just too nice.

Hety, for all his dotishness he still managed to DOUBLE the COMBINED scores of King Kohli and ABDefailure!
