Jamaica Tallawahs bowling coach Curtly Ambrose believes Guyana Amazon Warriors pacer Odean Smith and Romario Shepherd have much work to do to improve their death bowling.

He was speaking on Wednesday evening after the Tallawahs posted a mammoth 226 for five to beat Guyana by 37 runs in the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) qualifier two at Providence Stadium, Guyana.

Smith and Shepherd hemorrhaged 66 runs against Tallawahs in the last three overs of their innings. Smith, who bowled overs 18 and 20, conceded 43 runs.

"We know that they haven't been bowling well towards the back end of the innings. It's not once or twice, it's been happening for a little while. We knew that once we have wickets in hand for those last five, six, seven overs, we can get a big total.

The NO BALLS by Odean were shocking...

Unless he address this urgently...his confidence will be spit when he has to bowl on the big stage

Shep- as he did before just needs to trust the process and keep working on his craft...

he need to intentionally study his opponents at the other end of the wicket...with EACH delivery and not predetermine based on video footage and analyst reports only.

batsmen seek to improve too and hide weaknesses...

Bowlers should be no different.

either way.. NO BALLS have to be eliminated altogether!

We are in deep trouble...even Obed McCoy bowls crap at the death....WE HAVE NO DEATH BOWLER...

THIS CPL WAS A REAL EYE OPENER

God help us at the WC if we reach...maybe we should NOTreach....to protect the lil legacy we still have in cricket in OZ ...where we mek we name in 1960.

WE are going to play OZ in two T20Is soon....they have picked their full strength squad....LORD HAVE NERCY

Nicjy Poo will be calling on Haysoos....a LOT....in my books nothing is wrong with this.

But Haysoos will only help who have put into the time and effort to reach the required level.....Haysoos is our belief mechanism......providing we have developed the skills with hard work and dedication

People say Shiv called on his Lord too....he did....at one
point he called on his Lord to give him the strength to hit a 6 off of the last ball against SL....and Shiv delivered because he had put in the time and he had developed the skill....and his lord helped him MENTALLY to believe he could do it.
