Fidel Edwards 6/22 on debut!

[SpecialBruce]

Congratulations to this young guy. Has one huge future ahead of him. After a sensational test series, he missed the first 3 ODI's against Zimbabwe due to injury, comes in and gets 6 for 22. Got his first wicket with his first ball and in his second over, was on a hat-trick. Unfortunately he couldn't get the hat-trick.

His opening spell read 5 for 10 off 5 overs. At one stage, had 5 for 6 in his fourth over. Our bowling attack has been weak for the first 3 ODI's, he gets over his injury and produces a game like this. We have struggled in the bowling attack over the last 3 games, so it's no coincidence that we win a game when he is playing.

He has a big future ahead of him and as I have said before, he's going to be our main bowler in a few years time and he's going to be a gun. Next Courtney Walsh. Has 14 wickets in 3 test matches aswell.

Going to be interesting how he'll perform in tonight's match.

Here's the link for anyone who is interested.

Then proceeds to go for over 7 an over (0-37 off 5) in this match, despite the opposition struggling to get near 4 an over.

2/60 off 8 and a half, against a team bowled out for 195.

Dud.

You're a dud. He was our best bowler in the test series against Zimbabwe by far until he missed half of the second test due to injury. He's probably our best bowler with Dillon. It's no coincidence that when he comes into the team, we make Zimbabwe get a **** score. Happened in both games he's played in.

First one day international, we won due to making a large total. Our bowling attack didn't need to do anything as we had it won.

Second game, we lost because we struggled to get wickets.

Third game, we lost because we struggled to get wickets.

Fourth game, Fidel Edwards comes in after his injury and we get wickets and win because we bowl Zimbabwe out.

Fifth game, 24 hours after his 6/22, he has lowsy figures, still got 2 wickets and we win because we bowled Zimbabwe out for a low total.

As I have said in another topic about a month ago, he's our future and going to be one hell of a good bowler. You'll get to see him first hand in the VB series next summer. You also gotto remember that he is 21 years old so of course he isn't going to get a **** load of wickets every game.

That's like saying that you're the smartest Collingwood supporter. Still nothing to be proud of.

Hopefully the Windies can get there act together and find a few decent young quicks. Not convinced this bloke is the real deal though.

It was also his last game (of a grand total of 3).
