"out of the box thinker" became "enclosed in the box and a stinker."

The 'out of the box thinker' promoted Hety and hie posted his best score in forever. Now we expect more from him like more strike rotation.

@voiceofreason

With these jokers Sammy can do nothing right 😂

@voiceofreason

man...rest yuself eh...Hety batting at 3 should be the norm, not the exception ( if you need out of box thinking to see this, then you are not using your thinking skills too often)

@ray

Well how come he does not bat at 3 anywhere else? Sammy entrusted him with the # 3 spot. Hopefully he will reward his trust.

A guess we won with that master move?!

@voiceofreason

  1. Hetmyer is by far the best at rotating strike in that team.
  2. Hetmyer started his career at number 3 and a majority of his CPL career was played there so it wasn’t rocket science after they tried Forde at 3 🫠


I’m intrigued as to why when something good happens it’s always Sammy but when it goes awry it’s not Sammy’s fault can you shed some light on that?

@FunnyMan

Yeah, drop he skont....he does NOT meet Sammy's high standards!

@FunnyMan

Well you needed players to get rest before the start of the wc well seems like your wish been granted because it's looking like this game will be abandoned without a ball been bowl .

@cricketfreak

And into the WC

What is really fear is the bowling as seems like we would have to outsource team.mpre than outbound then this tournament.

So bat as far deep as possible


King

Hope

Hetty (best I've seen hom play for us in about 3 to 4 years)

Rutherford

Powell

Chase ( me not even sure as I'd play him or Forde. if Forde he bats lower down the order. And Sammy clearly wants Chase in the XI

Shepherd

Holder

Hosein

Motie

Joseph/Seales


That way we batting down to at least 10 minimum. And hopefully they not needes

@positiveg

Forde over Shepherd (Forde is a better bowler, and fielder) and Joseph over Seales(That extra pace makes a difference).
