Teenaged leg spinner Redwood ran through the Volcanoes’ middle order on the way to finishing with the impressive figures of 7-72 on debut, as the Scorpions wrapped up a comfortable 178-run victory.

It's three of them... pity LI still stuck on Walsh.

Zishan Motara - from Bim (surprised that he didn't play for WI Academy in the first match)
Micah McKenzie - from LI.

Dem fellas impressing for a few years at the youth level... kudos to Jamaica for giving Redwood a chance. Hopefully LI could do the same for McKenzie.

High point of release in his action plus he’s tall, he spins the ball…

Definitely one for the future.

He needs to develop variations like the greats.

What’s interesting about his action has nothing to do with cleanliness.

It’s virtually impossible for a wrist spinner to have an illegal action.

What was interesting to me is how far from his head his bowling hand was at the point of delivery.

Well noted...

His run up is modelled around Warne!!

What a delivery. A good leggie in any format is priceless.

Well done Scorpions.

He uses his entire body not just his arms as most of not all other WI 'spinners'

Makes the JA v Guy match even more interesting as the Guyanese are probably the best batsmen of spin in the region.

It’s a clean action.


Of course it is. It is impossible for leg spinners (anatomically) to pelt.

It think what iTito was referring to was the quality of the action in terms of the flight, drift, and turn it generates.

He might be in the "just spin the ball hard" phase of his development
