50 wickets in 31 T20I matches.

Name another West Indian that has even come close to that sort of return in that time frame.

I’m patient. I’ll wait

Stop with 50 wickets nonsense. Show me the economy and phases when he pick up wicket? How impactful are his wickets? How many wickets in the power play?

Or let’s compare him to the top 20 seamers .

Why don't you show us that since you are the one asserting that he is not valuable to this team.

Aren't you tired of defending Aljo.

You are losing credibility with every defensive post.

Just admit that he needs to do better.

He is very poor, as far as realizing his potential.

You need to get a grip and stop griping about everything negative!


Alzharri was our best pace bowler in the 2nd game I guess you missed that! You just coming on and chatting a set of nonsense as if Aljo responsible for us getting a par score of 160.


Yes I will defend my own especially when I see the criticism as unfair. In general Aljo as a limited overs bowler is very good and like any other bowler can go for runs on any given day. As a Test Bowler he has been a disappointment and I too have cussed him but I guess you missed that part you negative noo-noo.

Dude Aljo as a limited overs bowler has been very good do you all even watch the games?

Test is another story which I have criticized him for in the past!

Yes I watch the games.

I am retired and have all the time in the world.

I sometimes miss a game, but watch the replay.

Aljo bowls too short generally.
With his experience, he should,
begin with test lines to see what the pitch is doing with his balls.
Next he would know is to bowl into the pitch, cutters/slower balls
or maintain the test line.

He looks like he just runs up and releases the ball short.

That is why he is so expensive.
He gets most of his wickets from batsmen trying to kill his nonsense bowling.

How many times can we honestly say. great bowling when watching him?

Ii want Aljo to succeed, but he is worthless

everybody wants al jo to suceed. let him bowl six balls on a good length between 3rd and 4th stump and the west indies win a whole lot more games and even better if he gets it to ct back because being bowled between bat and pad, as rudimentary as that is, is a frequent dismissal these days

Look at his body of work
Over the series
And you stop talking rubbish
If he was English or Aussie he would be carrying drinks
Carry yourself man and you watch the cricket

The truth is the fella is all over de place. Can’t put six on a good line and length . Can’t create pressure. He is a not a bowler who the captain throw the ball to say here I need a wicket now . For a guy who been around almost a decade that’s unacceptable. Only in our set up this could happen . And I understand .our stock is low, but come on man do better.

There is not one over where he is not full or short.


I’m not saying to drop him . Give him the same treatment you give Hetty . Let him watch other play. Maybe he will pick up what’s missing from his game
Also our players are not mentally strong . That’s our biggest problem.

Why?

AlJo performs for WI. Maybe not to your liking, but he performs….particularly in LO

Hety didn’t perform for WI, certainly not lately. He did perform for his IPL team

AlJo also showed up when called for the WI team.

Hety………well…..you know all about that.


Different circumstances. Different situations. Different players.
