chewy Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Like most bulky athletes engaged in a sport where huge size is not an asset as it is in American Footballers for instance, fans and experts regularly look at him with brows furrowed with suspicion. He just doesn't look like someone who could possibly be involved in any sport that could demand high-intensity physical activity. Cricket is more forgiving of players who lack top conditioning than sports like football and basketball, but what happens when you have to run hard for three while batting or chase from slip to the third-man or fine-leg boundary while fielding? Fitness also facilitates the ability to concentrate for long periods, a vital quality to possess whatever your sporting discipline. In spite of his bulk, however, Cornwall has been progressing well in the game. As his frame suggests he is a powerful striker of the ball, but he also times it decently and has a sturdy defence. Cornwall has just one first-class century in 25 games but he is improving. At the half-way stage - five matches - of this first-class season he averages over 37 from number seven in the order. And in the recent Super 50, List A competition, he played nine games, scored 252 runs, averaged a commendable 50.40 and has a strike rate of 117.75. His bowling is considered his more impressive suit. He delivers his off-spin accurately, as an economy rate of 2.86 in First-class matches and 3.38 in List A matches indicate. He also manufactures drift and a fair bit of turn. He has captured an impressive 125 wickets, with 10 five-wicket hauls from 25 first-class games at a 24.19 average, and has 19 wickets from 21 List A matches. Cornwall had also impressed in the practice game that India played against the West Indies Cricket Board President's XI in July 2016. He picked up a five wicket haul and also came up with a couple of gritty knocks batting at No. 7. http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/92502/rahkeem-cornwall-shape-doesnt-matter-west-indies-cricket Get this guy in the IPL!!!!!!!!!
