This guy must be brought back in to WI setup immediately he is probably
The best all-rounder in WI cricket presently, plays the game with lots of self confidence, bowls above 140 with movement, he is much better than The mediocrer garbage we been seeing recently

The best piece of SWING bowlimg @ express pace I've seen from a West Indian since Marshall was Keemo's spell vs England in an ODI . It was better than Rose's best test spell

He will be in the Headley Weekes Tri series after the 4 day FC competition. Hopefully he maintains his fitness and performs well enough to stake his claim even more.

I think that the inability to maintain fitness has been a problem

Keemo is probably the fittest pacer in the region at the moment.. Think he's managing his body better these days.

Selectors prefer to pick a bunch of gentle medium pacers who can't offer anything with the bat... Gonna continue seeing them pick the likes of Jordan and Mindley ahead of Keemo.

Is Paul hitting 140 k’s these days ?…to be honest I’ve only seen him bowl 130-135 but hardly seen him bowl in recent years and not with a speed gun present anyway.

It's actually 180... Even if it's 130-135 it's still quicker than Holder, Roach, Mindley and Jordan.

The reason I ask is because a commentator the other day was talking about him having increased his pace & another commie a a week or two back was saying that a selector last season, saw him apparently steaming in during one spell and bowling quickly.

Tbh if he can remain fit, consistently bow 135-140, swing the ball both ways then he will do for me.

i would like to see Keemo play red ball cricket. I am hoping that he keeps injury free for the rest of the season and makes H-W team. Roach and Angel are nearing retirement and there is room for fast bowlers in the test side, esp if they can also contribute with the bat. I dont want to class him an all rounder so that he has to compete with Mayers and Holder for a spot. I want him to make the team as a fast bowler, probably opening with Aljo or alternatively coming to try to get the ball to swing when it has lost some shine. It will be great if he can get it up to 140kpm but I am not sure that he bowls that quickly. I rank him above Philip, Mindley and Jordan and so should be next in line. Also Keemo and Seales together with Holder with Motie as our future test attack.

Thanks, yes that was the match. The beauty of that spell was the lengths he hit also. Just between full n back-of -a-length where just as batsmen get ready to drive or defend it swings, pitches then shape again both in or out

If I showed you documented evidence that Keemo Paul has been clocked in the 140’s would you apologize.

Do you want to put your money where your mouth is


I say categorically that I can state the match and the ball that was in the 140’s that was delivered by Keemo Paul in an International match on the sub-continent
