And maybe the SG as well.

Does anyone have an opinion?

@InHindsight

Can’t tell, they’re dropping his catches

@InHindsight

I believe he bowls better with enforcers that have pace at the other end!!!

He hasn’t been the same without the Joseph’s!!!

@InHindsight

It seems every bowler prefers the Dukes. Higher seam, harder. They say the hand stitching also facilitates more movement. So I think I heard that a few years ago they modified the Kookaburra so that it behaved more like the Dukes.

@InHindsight

He appears to be bowling to a plan but has not gotten the necessary support. He dropped 1 himself

@InHindsight

I have said upteen times...Sealed is one of the most talented pacer in West Indies.....his wrist....seam position of ball....unplayable in swinging and seaming condition with Duke ball.....

BUT

In Regional ..4-day..2024-25.....half played with Duke & other half with Kookaburra....Seales was very ineffective with Kookaburra....

he can be great, if he adds few kms...bowl consistently at 140 k.m. & above.... With kookaburra ball...his pace let him down....failed in India...where both Bumrah & Siraj...both 140 k.m. & above got wickets....

Now in N.Z. ....he has to adapt and learn quickly....

@Onionman0

I believe he can bowl 140, to do it consistently he probably needs more fitness

@Onionman0

If WI don't overbowl the young man in time to come he may well gain a few yards of pace.

Again I make the point, I am happy that we are investing in bench strength as far as bowlers are concerned and it seems to be going nicely. This should allow us to preserve our stock and that should include even Kemar Roach.

If all continues on this current trajectory we are in good sted as far bowling is concerned. The issue for us and we need to turn this around quickly in 2026 is the batting the batting the batting.
