Sweetbread Sheppie

One of the best T20 lower order batsmen/ FINISHER against pace and spin in WI. Clearly does not finish well when bowling. I have been saying for eons that he needs a more dynamic approach to the popping crease in order to be consistently effective. Pity he couldn’t get it together before the WC, I thought he had the ability to be that X factor

only himself to blame but hopefully he can improve the bowling. I think he is a more consistent batsman than Smith but both do the same job.

Sorry for Sheppie myself.

The Template that says "picked on form" is sometimes applied and not applied it appears.

Seems like Bajans are great fence sitters...unless you have one of their passports.

Definitely a more consistent and BETTER batsman than Smith. However, his sweetbread bowling has filled too many bellies. He needs a sprint coach (He can ask Allan Donald how it had helped him). Would be interesting to see what his strength training regimen looks like as well. Would love to see Sheppie exploding through like a Castro big grin big grin

Blame all the muddies who cuss Sheppy and gave Dessie ammunition to drop him.

I will take myself out...and say I didnt blame Sheppy but Hetty for that last over fiasco

Sarwan is the first muddie to be blamed

i suppose the thinking is that a muddie will give a muddie a lil bligh

don't know we have evidence of muddie selectors doing that and certainly we don't ask for free pass

He would’ve prevented some picks giving others in the line the edge.

That’s not favoritism it’s just about who’s the next deserving candidate.

But he took the job and quit right after.

Nothing wrong with staying and fighting for what he believed may have been right.

Especially with his experience fighting the system.

He quit.
