Well played by Hetty, fantastic knock. Is it time to welcome Hetmyer back into the fold?

I think it is up to the board and Hetmyer to come to an agreement. Even if he just plays t20 cricket for the West Indies, I think the men would be happy to have him back.

Player of the match goes to Hetty! Well played sir.

Shimron Hetmyer | Player of the Match:
I don't have any words. Difficult to win against these guys, they beat us thrice last year but today was sort of a revenge. I practice this situations, it helps when you practice with that mindset of knowing we are few wickets down and chasing 100 with 8 overs to go. (On Noor Ahmed bowling the last over) I was actually pretty happy to be honest, he bowled well throughout so the first ball all I was thinking about was getting that double and take it from there.

T think that one out was when he run himself out ..

However, he still gets a NOC from CWI!
I wonder who benefits more from his participation in the IPL and his non participation in Windies colors??? razz

YEP .... he had turned for an impossible second run....but his still won...

From what I have seen thus far, he is having a great IPL. I still rate him as one of the most talented white ball players we have in the West Indies along with Pooran.

Congrats to the young Berbician Blaster! cool

 
Narper 2023-04-16 18:32:00 

In reply to googley

Hety has already given back to Berbice much more than others twice his age

I have no doubt in my mind that Hety will play for WI agaim

Bring Hetmyer back into the fold? Big loud Stewpes ... that guy is not even interested in playing for Guyana, much less small fries West Indies

Nothing is wrong with him playing on the T20i squad.

The easy way to get him into the WI white ball set up is to make Sangakarra WI white ball head coach!!!

lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

Funny you should say that! A few years ago I thought that hiring Ricky Pointing as Amazon's Coach would get him the Captaincy. smile

What I find interesting is the comments from his Wi teammates such as Akeil Hosein,Rovman Powell,Jason Holder,Romario Shepherd and others.

Look how you going make me go log in now and see for myself big grin

Sangakarra:

Not just last season, but this season what you do in every situation is a little bit out of this world but today especially it was something supremely special. That knock will be remembered as one of the greatest in terms of the IPL.

Hetmyer is more than just a person who can hit the ball out of the ground.

Nice yea it's good for fast news and looking at Instagram Models mek sure the old lady don't ketch you tho lol

Did you notice the Holder comment on being quicker between the wickets seemed a bit subliminal to me ehh???

Interesting idea smile Momager would definitely approve a return to WI colors under those circumstances.

As a good friend of mine likes to say, "Some men run the house, while others run around the house." smile
