@anthonyp
This stat on its own in the context of T20 cricket is meaningless

debut: Dec 31, '03
13,361 runs
@anthonyp
Better S/R than Holder and Hosein! who would've thunk it!😝

@StumpCam
He's not too bad with the bat either.... s/r of 145+ and 600+ runs.. on par with some of the specialist batsmen.

@CCW
His economy is over 10. Projecting this economy rate would leave an overall score of 0ver 200 runs. Any international team will take 0ver 200 runs anyday in T20.
Compare this with Adil Rashid whose econ is 7.4 projected to 148.

Y'all continue to split hairs! Shepherd is worth his weight in silver and gold anyway you dice it!😜

@StumpCam
The above is just a statement. Now give us the imperical reality.

Shepherd is in the Top 3 of Windies bowlers! If that is not enough to justify his place, you need help!
That's the reality! We're harping on nonsense! T20 cricket is an imperfect art! Or as some would say Hit or Miss! Enjoy!

All the stats are there to see unless, you're blind!

Now show me where I said Shepherd should not be on the West Indies team?
Further, may I remind you that "in the land of the blind a one eye man is king."
We need to learn to deal with reality.

Bro, everyone can be better! West Indians as whole need to put in more work in their preparation as professionals and execute on the field!
It is what it is! I'll take the win!

@StumpCam
I have no argument with the above. I will give you a lot of credit for veering away from the central issue.

@StumpCam
so if Jayden was on song or Alzarri was available yuh would still have Shep cos he might hit couple 6's at the end of the inns if he bats huh...nevermind he may concede more runs from his bowling than he makes with the bat eh...going forward i wish him well an hope he proves me wrong ....an just so yuh know he's a homebai so no insularity agenda here with not rating him or wanting him in the team...Hengland up next!!
