Glad Hami didn't let him review

[ZIMDOGGY]

Haha

Anyone here still want to talk matsi up?

[ZIMDOGGY]

keegan meth is defently not a international bowler get rid of him

Not sure about that. I reckon he's a very good new ball bowler. Just needs to build up a bit more pace in my opinion

Can that be taught?
Honest Q

I'm not batting coach, but it's obvious to me that Grant Flower needs to get these guys to play STRAIGHT! Playing across the line to middle stump deliveries

Well I'm no bowling coach, but my dad is a level 3 coach and he's been my mentor if you like growing up, and he always said to me if the actions right, this pace will come. And he was right in my opinion (not meaning to blow my own trumpet). However with Meth, I don't think he has an action that's going to let him bowl much quicker. But he can change his action slightly as he has a very nice approach and a nice side on action, but he doesn't push his shoulder through the crease. Just my opinion nyway

Thank goodness Hammie got out, now the real batsmen can start chasing down the total.
