The player who just stepped off the plane straight into the starting XI

wasnt selected in the original squad and is a replacement player.

hasnt been selected for WI in ODI’s for over 2 years. Hasn’t played much if any 50 over cricket at any level in the past year.

so why is the replacement player bowling what is the most important over in the match for WI?

@imusic

behave.


He was my choice too..stop making excuses.



He has the pedigree...and yeah he almost messed it completely up...but we made it.



That he bowled a NO ball and 3 wides its a miracle we still pulled it off.

Yep... music basically saying.... if Akeal tek licks and loses the match, it isn't his fault... but if he wins it... then, Akeal is the boss.... win-win... these Treknees are always up to no good. lol.

FULL STORY
West Indies have strengthened their spin attack by adding left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein to their squad for the ongoing three-match ODI series against Bangladesh. Hosein is set to arrive tonight and will join the team ahead of the second ODI,

Someone who was in the original squad?

One would logically deduct that the players selected in the original squad were considered to be better than those not selected in that squad.

No?

WI won the super over and no one would say Akeal is the boss.

Or maybe you just living down to your message board handle.

@velo

He is the wi best bowler inthis lineup

Not according to the selectors of the original squad

@imusic

so why is the replacement player bowling what is the most important over in the match for WI?

His experience !!! T20I cricket he is accustomed to bowling in the PP???

Always whining about something! It was the right choice!

@voiceofreason

he is accustomed to bowling in the PP???

Oh. So there were field restrictions in the super over?

Who knew?


Tue, Oct 21, '25 at 12:11 PM

@imusic

PP has a lot of pressure involved. So he is accustomed to the pressure moment. Stop whining about foolishness. I guess you are trying to find a reason for him overstepping off that short run up?? He pulled it back and is all history.


Sammy believes in him that is why he was entrusted with the leadership role in Nepal.
