He is the only fast bowler we have that bowls with real fight. The rest doesn't have the necessary conviction.

Pure pace…

DogPoop! When I met shamar in the barbershop here in Queens NYC NY some months ago I simply told him to stay fit!!! 😎

He may have started a little late but if not for injuries this guy would be a WI all time great, he is in the mold of our traditional fas men

Shamar bowls to beat the batsmen when it matters. The others bowl for the batsman to make a mistake.

@methodic

i don't think it is conviction they don't have the skill and ability to bowl on pitches that don't give them assistance they just dont have the pace

@Cricket_101

Exactly. The type of pace designed to discombobulate even the best of batsman. I knew that from the time I saw him I saw him have Steve Smith under the heaviest manners. Smith didn’t want to face him at all. Check how many deliveries he allowed tail enders to face at Brisbane

@BeatDball

Tellin yuh. I saw fear in Steve Smith’s eyes. The same type of fear I saw in Tendulkar’s eyes when he came in with India in crisis against Sri Lanka in QPO during the World Cup with India needing to win the match to stay in the tournament and avoid a first round exit( and obviously him knowing the ramifications; dhoni’s house under construction got burnt down in the aftermath). You can miss it and you can’t mistake it. If I as a spectator can see fear in a batsman, bet your last dollar Shamar could sense it as well

After the first ball I relaxed, he got this I said. Then those fackers kept coming back, in his ears. Glad he didn't listen.😂

Fear & disbelief. I saw it too!



Ps. DogPoop, West Indies on shamar's uniform looks perfect. 😛
