WTF is a Kuggggggggliiiin?

 

[hineyrulz]

This Kuggliiiiiiiiiin merkin looks like he should be coaching the Warriors.

Was Jason Holder captain the previous summer when the windies came out when Patty was captain.

As far as I could tell, or even google I dont thin its ever happened, I'm referring to out and out bowlers

Holder being an all rounder:

Jason Omar Holder is a Barbadian cricketer and the former captain of the West Indies cricket team. He is a right arm medium-fast bowling all-rounder who features in all three cricketing formats. In January 2019, he was ranked as the number one all rounder in the world according to the official ICC Test rankings. Wikipedia

Khawaja is the best leaver in world cricket.

I thought he would be a walking wicket on this pitch the way his weight is normally on the back foot when he defends but he's done OK, so far.

There can only be one bald merkin on LU!!

 

[King-Gutho94]

Reckon the kiwis could do with Wagner right now.

Has me baffled why they retired him before the series.

I would have picked him for these 2 tests as a farewell as he has troubled us in the past and is one bowler that could win them a test match against us.

 

[Bazal]

Lol they were so concerned about the bat or no bat issue they forgot to think about where the ball was going

 

[JJ]

This merkin shouldn’t be near the test team for 32 reasons, either play Wagner or get Patel in the 11 so we have a spinner

did they retire him, or did he retire him ?

he is exactly what they need against Smudger

a bit odd

 

[Twizzle]

I don't mind this kiwi lady commentator, she seems to know her shit

 

[_snafu_]

Smudge gorn.

He was told he wouldn't be picked for this series so he pulled the pin as i assume he wanted to have this as his farewell series.

So a bit of both.

But i would have played him bizarre they ruled him out of the 2nd test as well.

 

[hineyrulz]

Smiffy gorrrrrrrrn.

 

[JJ]

Henry deserves that
