these guys don't remember anything?

Shimron Hetmyer:
I just think as players we back ourselves to win such games 9/10 times. He (Odean Smith) was an option and he had a good day, I went for Shepherd but it just didn't come off. It's really nice to have that many bowling options, always nice to have that. We are still in working phases and want to continue to get it right with each passing game.

I hope he learns from this one

All dat was fixed in hetty head is that Shhety is bolwing the last over....apparently he didnt keep track of the others big grin
Well dat is put to rest....Hetty is NOT cappo material...at all

 
doosra 2022-09-08 18:22:49 

In reply to Narper

he captained all innings as if he was not in control

trying to squeeze overs

Shamsi and Moti had overs...

they can hopefully only get better from this madness

 
Kay 2022-09-08 18:49:01 

How can one of the main bowlers bowl 4 consecutive bad balls?

19.2 Shepherd to Pretorius, 2 runs, short and wide of off
19.3 Shepherd to Pretorius, SIX, low full toss and goodbye!
19.4 Shepherd to Pretorius, SIX, a juicy length delivery
19.5 Shepherd to Pretorius, no ball, SIX, a high full toss

In reply to Kay

Because he is very consistent and has history at the death wink

 
imusic 2022-09-08 18:53:55 

Either allyuh CONVENIENTLY forget, or blissfully ignorant to the fact that very few actually want to bowl at the death.

Throw Dillon the ball at the death and he would throw it back

Sammy literally hid. And he was the captain.

Very few have the mental makeup to undertake that task and perform, knowing that they likely on yo a hiding.

Allyuh think anybody else WANTED to bowl at the death?

Allyuh leff Shep alone eh.

Not everyone is a DJ Bravo or McCoy.

Are you trying to say....the above refused to bowl the last over with 22 needed? What is the probability of getting 22 in the last over?

Anyway this is what hetty said

there is no excuse for bowling Shepherd given his recent history
even if the result was the same as today...you cant err like that

 
TyTy35 2022-09-08 19:05:07 

In reply to Narper

Hetty is clueless, why not bowl out Smith? Smith bowling in the death for the West Indies has grown tremendously, while Shep has gone backwards. As captain you have to go with the bowler with momentum which was Smith, but it seems Smithy got victimized again rolleyes

elementary error

That’s my point Narps. We really don’t know.

Very few teams bowl a spinner in the 19 and 20th overs.

Most teams go with a seamer.

That said, Hety clearly said he made a choice and it didn’t work out.

He has to be man enough to deal with it.

If Shep had come through, the lyrics might well have been Hety, by showing confidence in and support of Shep allowed Shep to perform at his best.

That’s the game.

 
cricketmad 2022-09-08 19:32:56 

I am trying to understand why he used 8 bowlers in the first place.

 
Narper 2022-09-08 19:36:13 

In reply to imusic

This will pass for me...I am pissed like everybody else today...

Hetty is one for the future.

 
doosra 2022-09-08 19:37:56 

In reply to imusic

man, no one would take that risk

it's water under the bridge

hopefully they learn from it

Sheppy had been extremely poor in the death overs for over 1 year now

I hear you. Shep hasn’t performed in the role for some time.

Obviously coaches think he has potential.

I know when he played a couple years ago, they appeared to be grooming him as a death bowler.

Perhaps they believe he has the right mental makeup for the role. I don’t know.
