West Indies’ fast bowler Tino Best is one of the entertaining characters, on and off the field. He has his own funny way of doing things and this is one of the biggest reasons why he is so popular among cricket fans.
After the conclusion of the first ODI of the ongoing series between England and West Indies, Tino Best took to Twitter and tried to troll England batsman Alex Hales. Hales scored 20 runs off 19 balls in the match and was dismissed by Jerome Taylor.
During the match, Tino tweeted that had he bowled to Alex Hales at 90+ miles per hour, he wouldn’t have the courage to pull the ball. He also took a dig at his own West Indian bowlers for bowling “84 miles per hour”.
“Wish I had bowl at this one Hales bk then let’s see u pulling at 90+ not 84mph lol. would of enjoyed cracking that Nut hahah,” Tino Best tweeted.
Wish I had bowl at this one Hales bk then let’s see u pulling at 90+ not 84mph lol ? would of enjoyed cracking that Nut hahah

After the match, Alex Hales replied back to Tino saying, “I faced you in 2010 mate in your peak. You literally couldn’t land it on the cut strip #90mphDross“

Tino Best is not the one to hold back, on and off the field.
@AlexHales1 u sure I couldn’t land it on the strip ??? Or you was running to square leg bud ?? Pull up score card ?

And why would Hales back off?
I nearly ran to deep square leg as the one bumper you bowled hit someone in the crowd https://t.co/nNIjLk0Tha

After this, Tino Best tagged Fidel Edwards and reminded Hales of their “prime” days.

And, Fidel Edwards also joined in!

Interestingly, Alex Hales gave respect to Fidel Edwards and trolled Tino Best, again.
That’s because you’re actually rapid, not all talk like tino!

Tino Best then told Alex Hales to ask Mark Butcher and Nasser Hussain about the quickest spell they have ever faced in cricket from both ends.
Hahahahaha dead ? Alex go sleep ask butcher and Nasser whats the Quickest spell them ever face in cricket from both ends
