I don't think he was dropped because of his sponsor stuff was he? I think that just came out at basically the same time? Either way a minute ago you were saying everyone ignored that episode but now you are saying he was dropped for it.zimbos_05 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 10:48 pmHe was dropped at the WC because of his scandal, if memory serves me correctly.
No doubt Jongwe has some quality as a death bowler but if he is only being picked as a specialist two over bowler, how is that fair. I'm not denying his strength in that area or his skill with it, but just stating that it's unfair how one group of players get treated, and another group do. For all the positives on the field, there are still many things that need fixing. a
He didn't play well in the world cup. It was fair he was dropped after a bad run.
As for 'its unfair how one group of players get treated' I know what groups you are referring to, but for the first time in an extremely long time I don't think thats the case at the moment whatsoever. Certainly not in the national team currently.
As for him being a specialist two over bowler, he did of course bowl three and usually does. It's T20 cricket, every successful T20 side in the world is literally built on specific roles and guys executing skills in very specific narrow situations. Jongwe's current role as a death specialist is literally what every T20 franchise side in the world has. I'm not sure how much T20 cricket you watch.
Tbh I think it's a really hard argument to sell that Evans is a better T20 bowler than Jongwe currently. Out of interest, did you watch the three Ireland matches?
