Phillip played two Tests and five One Day Internationals for West Indies, and in 33 First-Class matches, has taken 114 wickets at an average of 23.

During the 2023/24 West Indies First-Class Championship, Phillip took 29 wickets in seven matches at an average of 18 for TT Red Force.

great news....i realize dem county side doh want to give none of our batsmen, except kraigg, a try. call me a conspiracy theorist but i think that's deliberate

Happy for Anderson and hope he gets to develop his skills and to compete for AlJo's place - come in VOR

how aljo still have a place is a mystery. 34 tests and only one five for. shamar now come in the dance and have 3 already, all against top quality opposition. that being said, anderson isn't as talented as alzarri

already in action vs. Chemar Holder's Durham team: here

strikes early

Wow! They only signed him for the final three matches

isnt it the end of season?>

Some of these guys are probably playing club cricket in England so it's easier to sign them up for short stints.

Three rounds of the Championship left because the month of August is reserved for the Hundred. The last of the ODIs against Australia isn't until September 29th.

But is he a harder worker? Willing to try to improve? talent doesnt mean much when it is not being applied.
