Burl has done well but let's not get overboard with this one. The quality of bowling in EPL is quite low, its basically Nepal bowling attack and may be just 3-4 good overseas players in the entire tournament.
Runs are runs and wicket are wickets, particularly as he does not play a lot of cricket outside internationals.

The best part is Lamicchane and Afridi - the other leggies in the team going for nearly 10 an over and going wicketless and Burl operating at 5 an over and getting 2 wickets as well!

Also, Burl getting to bat at 4 has given him time to get himself set and launch.

Great knock from Burl that was, Rashid Khan was one of the bowlers as well :o
It's a different Rashid Khan. This one is from Nepal I think.
That makes sense then haha, just realised Rashid Khan is probably in the IPL

Saw the highlights of his batting ..some very clean hitting...targeted a specific left arm slow bowler who kept on bowling into his arc and burl kept on depositing him over cow corner and midwicket...fun fact burl was on 15 runs in the first 20 balls ..so he literally made 58 runs in the next 14 balls

Adam Theo tweeted about Razas exploits and one of the ZC accounts tweeted back saying it was because he faced poor bowling.

I responded in support, and spoke about how it's interesting players perform when not under ZC rule, and Raza liked the tweet. The like made me think there is more to the ZC Rajput Taylor Williams retirement situation.

What nonsense to be trashing your own player

Raza is affected by criticism
Zc really trashed their own player? FMD.

A few weeks back when Brendan was still playing and he and Raza were dropped from T20s, I responded to a tweet criticising the stupid decision of ZC to drop two of their best T20 players, esp when they have put up with ZC through all the difficult times.

Both Raza and Brendan liked the tweet and as we all know Brendan retired a few weeks later... I'm not very sure Raza will stick around for long, he seems to have given up on this board.

Williams and Ervine are still going to hang around I guess.
