I am surprised that only now Alzarri has reached that mark.

Contrast that to Dwayne Bravo who had 24 wickets in his first 31 T20I matches.

THIS MAKES FOR INTERESTING VIEWING

Kesrick Williams right up there too with a ridiculous bowling strike rate.

Surprised that ALjo now made it to 50 but then I realize he has only played 31 Matches. Easy to get T20I and ODI mixed up. Congrats to them both.

Did not see the game but did he bowl well today? Seems to based on the Cricinfo commentary?

he bowled well today

he had Assalanka first ball - would have been 2 in 2, gloved behind, he was adamant but they didn't take the review

he is still learning to mix his pace and aggression with slower variety

he has overtaken Badree as fastest wi to 50 t20 wickets...something like that i saw on FB

Alzarri speed should make him an automatic striker.

My main issue with him is that he bowls too many short and ot length balls.

Alzo should begin his spell with test length.

He bowls too many short balls.

In T20, batsmen just swing and use his pace.

Congrats to him and Shepherd.

They are both still works in progress.

I don't know what the bowling coaches are doing.
