even one over, we can lose a match. Against any top team we will lose the match. This was established last year. So we can't accept facts.

Well this didn't age well.


4 wickets in one over! Wow!

@methodic

For your comfort, I too say we lose de match when they handed Shep de ball.


The better strategy was to give Forde or Holder the ball to attempt to widen the balls to runs gap.


It worked but there was a huge `element of risk.

@methodic

You dont rate him, but he still has 80 wickets in 76 matches. not far behind Holder with 100 in 90 matches!😜

That could be said of the entire team. They do not have moderate games consistently, either good or poor.

Shepherd is the kind of bowler thst will never be consistant because of his action.but you cross your fingers hoping he will come good on the day

He did say any "top" team

Ok give him that. He is right as Shepherd is inconsistent and better teams will take advantage. Thi is his 2nd hattrick and he looked surprised as he did for the 1st hattrick.
