Could someone say anything about Imran Khan,he seems to be taking wickets over the last 4 or 5 years,yet no one even mentions a word,he can also bat as he opens for TT occasionally,and makes runs.I think some credit is due.

From what I have seen he bowls a very nagging line, however, he lacks variations. Most of his wickets will come from batsmen's impatience rather than guile.
His batting is like his bowling very steady.

Khan is OK. IMO just OK. I mean he doesn't seem to trouble batsmen. He looks like the kind of leg spinner one would enjoy facing. Just a chip and drive through Extra-cover. . Bishoo is a better bowler, but he is not the answer either.

Does anyone know what ever happened to Gavin Wallace? When I saw him at first I thought that he was going to be the answer for WI, but then his own Captain use to make it difficult for him.

I do think that every test team needs a Leggie! Jacobs needs more seasoning.

He went on an A team tour and got outbowled by Odean Brown.

To be specific I thought that he came on the scene with the right speed & loop on the ball, turn and bounce and a formidable wrong one. He was tall and young and most importantly, he took wickets often times coming on as the 6th bowler when I thought he should have been the 3rd bowler.

Anyway, he is history now. We are left with Bishoo and Jacobs.

It was the JA selection that did him?

In reply to tc1

Did he stay at St Catherine or did he switch club?

Gavin Wallace played quite a few years for my team here in NJ.. he was a better batsman than a leggie to me, I bowled the leggie..
