I think they've gone to the break, anyway. Rain should've pissed off by then, so we should get a result.

Depends what format. He was ranked top 10 in the two short form cricket going into this world cup.

I know the WC takes a long time but I don't really count 2 months as 'ages ago'.

Jason Holder is a really impressive cricketer, it's a shame the WICB/WIPA bullshit will inevitably drag him down under the burden of captaincy.

He's been ranked strongly in short form cricket for at least a few years. He was hilariously one of Australia's highest paid players maybe a year or two ago through virtue of playing so much odi and t20 cricket.

Shame he hasn't really got it going in test cricket.

Looking like restricting my Windies players in fantasy to just Holder and Taylor was pretty shrewd so far.

Yep. I have faith he will work it out in tests. I remember when he came into the side because of the injuries to all the young quicks he was said to be the most raw quick of potential in the country but the one with the biggest upside. Almost 2m tall, able to swing the ball, quick.

Out of all the bowlers to bowl 1000 balls in odi cricket he has the best average and strike rate. He has the same amount of 5 wicket hauls in Odis as Richard hadlee. Starc has played 38 Odis to Hadlee's 115.
