Kieran Powell; Hety wants to play all formats!
Chase might be the odd man out. Imagine:
King
Campbell
Hetmeyer
Hope
Hodge
Greaves
Bowen- Tuckett or Hamilton or Da Silva or Imlach whoever shows up this season.
Motie
Shamar
Aljo
Seales
Would be great be if wanted to play tests ....a line up that includes Hope ,Greaves an Hety is not the worse.. ..i get the impression with him he's in a good place in his life an wants to give something back to Windies in recognition of him being able to financially secure his future an not forgetting where he came from an how he got to where's he's at.
@CCW
I really must say its the best I've seen Hetty play in years. And as you say maybe he's comfortable and the batting position too is much better for him. Never doubted his ability in the field cause man could filed. Glad he's showing up with the bat. Hoping his fint form continues and imagine that going over to Teat and ODI
@CCW
Y'all really think Hetmeyer could bat for even one session of a Test Match? Especially against the likes of Rabada, Bumrah, Jensen, Stark, et al.
Anyways, cupboard bare as shyte so no harm in giving him a go, I suppose.
@SnoopDog
yeah ...hopefully maybe he's maturing mentally cos the ability is there!
@CCW
The ability to play 8 overs of lickit cricket is there.
Test Match cricket against high quality bowlers on pitches which aren't roads is another kettle of fish.
@SnoopDog
agreed but not impossible if yuh have the ability an mentality to adjust ....in recent times David Warner started his career in t20's to become an all format great wouldn't seh he was more naturally gifted than we bai but obviously had the mental strength to adjust to the rigours of test cricket...only time will tell assuming as reported that he (Hety)does want to play test cricket!
@voiceofreason
Two things for me.
One, he has stopped behaving in the childish,impish manner he was known for.
Two, I think this is the fittest he has been since his breakthrough years.
Credit him with this
@positiveg
Well he has impressed so far but the real test will come in the next Month. Also he needs to play some 4 day cricket to make his way back into the Test team.
@voiceofreason
Hetty needs to play 4 day cricket but I wonder when he playing this 4 day cricket when the WI first class season clashes with the IPL
@SnoopDog
no other batsman in the WI can anyway. so no loss. What is amazing is how poor Jangoo is totally written out of people's thinking. The man scored a century on international debut and then people like Athanaze and Auguste have just by passed him in WI thinking. I would certainly consider Jangoo before Hodge in that middle order as Hodge lacks consistency. One good score per series and then several single digit scores. That is why both he and Greaves (who is from the same mould) can't get their averages above the 20s, the latter being even more culpable as he has two not out centuries to his name.
