5 cricketers who have prolific domestic T20 records but haven't played many T20Is

#2 Alfonso Thomas

Alfonso’s ability to keep things quiet at the end of the innings was an invaluable asset

Death bowling is an art few have managed to perfect. In T20s, where the boundaries are smaller and the odds are stacked in favour of the batsman, death bowling is even harder. Yet, anyone who has followed Alfonso Thomas' career will tell you how he has not only mastered their art form but at times, also made a mockery of claims that it is difficult to achieve perfection.

One of only five bowlers to have taken more than 250 wickets, the man nicknamed "The Fonz" is one of the greats, as far as T20 bowling is concerned. His 263 wickets have come at an economy rate of 7.5, which considering he predominantly bowls at the death overs, is an achievement in itself.

His ability to nail yorkers almost at will is second to none. While Lasith Malinga might be associated with the death over yorker, it is fair to say that IPL and international cricket, neither of which Thomas had a lot of experience with, has more do with it.

Despite his stellar record in the format, he has only played a solitary T20I for South Africa. The game in question was one in which he took 3 wickets and was the pick of the bowlers, but being born in a strong era for South African seamers meant that was his one and only shot at international cricket.
