Sandeep Sharma to Dhoni, out Caught by Hetmyer!! A stunning catch from Shimron to burst the bubble for CSK. Dhoni is shocked, the stadium is silent - need I remind you this is a home game for Rajasthan. The former CSK skipper walks back slowly as the RR players celebrate. A low wide full toss from Sandeep. Dhoni shuffles in and heaves it across the line by Hetmyer moves rapidly to his left from deep mid-wicket and takes a superb catch as the ball was dying down on him.

Hasaranga to Tripathi, out Caught by Hetmyer!! A bit of Wanindu magic lifts up Guwahati!! The Sri Lankan leggie does his trademark celebration, and follows that up with the Pushpa signature move there... A short delivery, a bit of a long hop at a gentle pace. Skids through a bit and got onto Tripathi as he rocked back to pull. Ends up holing out to deep mid-wicket where Hetmyer dives forward to complete a neat take.

Some cannot be judged on perceived standards. His anatomical make up can be a predisposition of his body mass.

There are five WI players who are mainstays on their IPL teams, Hetty is one of them. Only super star import players are mainstays on their teams.

So by your “definition “, Jamie Overton is a superstar?

How about Jake Fraser-McGurk?

So he is now being picked to catch? It certainly is not to bat as he forgot how to do that a while ago.

Performing a particular role doesn’t make one a superstar

Unless you desperate to coin the phrase

Pose dat question to Rajasthan Royals...dem paying him big bucks every year.
I believe you would have been a happy man if he had made a 10 ball duck and drop 3 catches.

I have no feelings about Hetty one way or the other. He made his decision and all power to him. But I do believe it is past time for CWI and Guyana Amazons to move on. What a waste of such a talent. Unfortunately he will be labelled with the Hooper word 'potential' for the rest of his life.

Be honest with yourself nuh man.

Not a single thread would go by without you chiming in and posing something negative about Hety

this shows you do have strong feelings about your countryman:

Understandable for us ole fart muddies.....muddie batsmen of yesteryear have had excellent batting legacy...and we cant accept mediocrity
