And he is beaten outside the off stump.

We don't hear this often enough grom cpmmentators when our pace bowlers are bowling.

The obvious reason is lack of consistency and a dearth of planning as to how to get batsmen out.

......................

Some of our pace bowlers instead prefer to work consistntly in beehives. 😀

It's time to cut our loses with some of our pace bowlers, Btw, what has Anderson got to offer? Is he a worker bee?

Some of us can never forget an over Michael Holding bowled to Boycott at the Mecca.😀

I will always welcome constructive criticism and whilst the consistency could certainly be improved, we would also do well to remember just how well the fast bowlers have generally performed over the past few years.

Jayden Seales - age 24, 102 wkts (avg 26, SR 46)

Shamar Joseph - age 26, 58 wkts (avg 23, SR 35)

Kemar Roach - age 38, 300 wkts (avg 26, SR 51)

Alzarri Joseph - age 29, 130 wkts (avg 33, SR 54)

Those statistics stand up to almost any other attack in the game. As a quartet, they are the strongest West Indian pace attack for many years.

Yeah but Alzarri who should be taking up the mantle of the leader of the attack when Kemar retires is 1st change an deservedly so cos he's either a slow-learner or just stubborn an won't listen look how he storm off the field cos he din get the field placing he wanted...he needs to recognise only champions like a Marshall or Ambrose for eg can dictate field placings to cappo.....not sure about Anderson gotta give he more time!
