lol lol

I aint sure anybody can challenge Hety for this.

the amount of opportunities he has had to FIRMLY wrap his fingers around this trophy makes him a slam dunk for our dumbest

Man if I was Hety I woulda leave alone and get bowled or so first ball.. the waste of time for spipper was telling him shyte as he was walking to the crease all.. nobody heard him on the stump mike? Pollard is the biggest mistake CWI ever made, Bravo would've been a far better captain!

Coming in with less than 2 overs to bat and then complaining because he went for a big shot.. Simmons wasted about 40 balls, old man Gayle about 12 and yet they picking on Hety.

I would be really pissed off, if I were in Hetty's shoe.
But the team consist of Pollard and Friends.

 
Narper 2021-10-26 12:28:40 

In reply to powen001

132-5 (Russell, 18.2) Hety comes in batting at #7

He looked completely lost

How so????
He face two balls !!!!
Why is hety de scapegoat now

18.3
Nortje to Hetmyer, no run, run out chance missed. Full toss outside off, Hetmyer eases it to point and Bavuma misfields first, but the batter had slipped in the middle of the pitch, so he gathers the ball and lobs it to an incoming Klaasen, but he too does not gather it cleanly and Hetmyer makes it in

18.4
Nortje to Hetmyer, out Hetmyer Run Out!! 1 run completed. No problem this time. Full delivery outside off, Hetmyer mistimes the loft over extra cover, the ball lands in front of the charing Miller from long-off, Pollard pushed for the second and the throw went to the striker's end, Hetmyer was struggling and he's well short of the crease. West Indies losing the momentum towards the end.

Hetmyer run out (Miller/Klaasen) 1(2)

Disagree, the second run was Pollard’s call and influence.

azadtnt 2021-10-26 12:43:02 

The team's batting has always been questionable, it heavily depends on individual performances mostly consist of sloggers. So to point fingers at one player is giving this WI team too much credit.

They ALL are very inconsistent and undisciplined in their game.

D boy has all the shots a decent all-round player but lacking wisdom and discipline like most of WI players.

It took you that long to figure that out.The most overhyped useless wrap of rubbish in dee whole team

So too do Pooran and HOPE(should be the real ‘Samuel’ of the team at this point). ALL THREE OF THESE PLAYERS SHOULD BE PLAYING ALL FORMS OF CRICKET CONSISTENTLY IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THEIR GAMES.

In reply to powen001

Glad you phrased it "best dumbest" cause it would otherwise be unfair to Hetty. Simmonds is clearly our dumbest

 
seko 2021-10-26 13:28:35 

Poor Pollard ! Poor Pooran! Poor Simmond! Pack and come home.

 
Logic 2021-10-26 13:33:14 

In reply to Narper

They still trying to mess with Hetty head. No logic to batting your most in form and arguably most talented batter so far down the order. Yes, he is prone to doing silly things but how does not floating him up and down the order help. Hetty should be our no.3 bat. If Gayle plays he opens and is instructed (if that is possible) to go for it.

 
Pacy 2021-10-26 13:33:58 

I would not say he is Dumb but he is so casual... He does not seem to have the fire in him to step up. I viewed Hety and Pooran to have become match winners by now.. But after years of International cricket, they still are hot and cold.

I see Aiden Markam bat today and I just feel, why cant Hety and Pooran play like him.

But todays loss should be on Simmons. We were short by 20-30 runs because of Simmons

 
embsallie 2021-10-26 14:03:36 

I am not Guyanese, but I tend to like cricketers coming from the mud like Shiv and Sarwan.
I was pretty young when Kallicharran was on his way out but enjoyed some of the videos I have seen of him.

I really thought Hetty was going to be that replacement for me.
I ain't give up on the youth yet, but my patience is wearing thin and eventually I may have to cut ties before I become too attached.

Hetty needs to start showing up to the party. I wish he were as "selfish" as Shiv. That would be good because that means he would be performing.

 
FuzzyWuzzy 2021-10-26 14:47:12 

Hety didn't nothing wrong today. He is being used badly by this aging Harlem globetrotters team.

Hety is being penalised for past indiscretions

 
Ardz 2021-10-26 15:45:27 

In reply to Alan

and he is what our Guyanese brethren making all this noise about? I could understand Shiv, Kalli, Fredericks and the other former Greats. The new guys like Motie Shepherd etc. Hetty not ready as far as i see. He looking lost.

 
problemjay 2021-10-26 16:13:09 

Up to this day I still don't understand the hype surrounding this Hetty player.

What allyuh seeing in him that make you believe he will be special?

 
Alan 2021-10-26 16:54:18 

In reply to problemjay
Agreed.I dont understand the hype either.

 
Alan 2021-10-26 16:56:24 

In reply to embsallie
He did nothing wrong....but has he ever done ANYTHING right to justify his selection in terms of runs?..The answer is NO.

And this is TRUE.

Pooran and Hety...much much has been given and they consistently FAIL..

I will give you that POLLY told him to run TWO

but de boy has a blinkin mouth...

SCREAM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at POLLY!!

It was unfair to the youngster today, batting him at seven.

SCREAM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at POLLY!!

You think saying no to Pollard and friends, would had been good?
This is a team of the aging.
Anyone that follows sports, would be surprise will a failing Pooran batting at #3 today, it did not make sense.

Hety was the cappo of a WI u19 winning world cup team....did YOU know dat?

But you fully understand and support a Daren Bravo in a T20 WC reserve squad

Has Pooran done better than Hetty in recent times? But you would never have a problem with dat....would you?

In reply to powen001
Hety is definitely the richest dumbest WI player.
Take JHo. The man give his heart and soul for WI cricket, even giving up money-making opportunities for WI cricket. And where did that get JHo? He did not even get a spot on this WI team, and he certainly did not get much money playing for WI.
Hety on the other hand. Having fun, even coloring his hair in some annoying color or the other, and his pocket full of nuff paisa!! His only problem is that he has to hang out with a bunch of loser for a few weeks, through no fault of his!!!
So, tell me, who dumber, Hety or JHo?
And now, here we are trying to pin the failings of an entire team on happy Hety!!!
Well, true to our loser status!! The best we could come up with after our lengthy post mortem is that it was Hety's fault!!!! Hahahaha!!

It was a glaringly poor decision.....It was Pouty saying only another trini he trusts to do it ........not Gayle....not Hetty
I think Pouty is now very paranoid.....he does not want Chase at any cost....he wants a full trini bowling attack as well......he does not care for Walsh....I have seen how he treated Walsh in the past....the same way Holder treated Bishoo.

And the big belly head coaxh is mentoring Pouty in this vein.

To add to that the dumbest player already got 5 ODI tons to his name.. how many current WI players got that?

It's clear the skipper got a problem with players who are not from his country or his friend.. could explain why he was heard shouting on Hety as he was walking to the crease today.

I won't even get into the amount of charitable things he and his wife did in recent years for the less fortunate and cricket in Guyana.

apparently he aint afraid to use Friendly Fire

Well men in here trying to mask their continued disappointment in Hetty by telling me what he did in U19 cricket? Again iz U19 Cricket they saying lol

Well, we just saw proof, yet again, that WI cannot win without Hety, no matter how many Trinis them have near the team!!!!!!. smile
