Yet another 100 for Bishoo
In reply to Khaga
WOUNDIES ARE GOOD AT SETTING THE RECORDS
In reply to KhagaDid you see what the Pakistani leg spinner had in Australia and New Zealand? So before you throw stones, have a look at it.
In reply to londoner
thats dem Indian spinners....
Has Bishoo's bowling got better over the years, what about variety?
In reply to openning
No to both. I would bring back Benn.....
In reply to Kay
Is Miller not available?
Wrist spinners usually go for that kind ah runs after bowling 30 odd overs, sub continent batsmen are usually very good at playing spin.
In reply to granite
Especially the ones that lack variety.
If Bishoo was a batsman he would a been better than Bradman!!
In reply to Larr Pullo
I don't ever believe anything you say, but this time I'll make an exception.
In reply to Larr Pullo
yeah Bishoo holding back this WI team from beating the world! Drop he skunt!
In reply to Larr Pullo
Bishoo is a better cricketer than Travis Dowlin and Devon Smith combined.
West Indian Spinners are no good and will not make the cut at the test level
In reply to hawk
which wi fastbowler has produced more than Bishoo in tests in since Bishoo came on the scene?
In reply to doosra
WI want pace like fiah! But most of the wickets are prepared rather curry like!
In reply to doosra
I would take my chances with fast bowlers 10 times before i do with a spinner from the West Indies
that is just my opinion
In reply to hawk
because why?
Bishoo just had 18 wickets ina test series in sharjah
he was the main reason we remained competitive and actually won a test
u entitled to an opinion, like others
is unnu pace like fyah attitude partly why we hay
In reply to doosra
ever so often a spinner will shine, the problem i have is that it is not consistent enough at the test level, i grew up in the 80s and I was all about the fast bowling (my personal bias) but that aside our spinners just don't cut it at the international level and that is a fact. Bishoo has been the closest article since Lance Gibbs and he lacks consistent performances to be considered world class
In reply to hawk
can you put down some names as possible replacement for Bishoo?
In reply to googley
let me clear the air first i am not advocating we replace Bishoo, i am just stating my preference for our bowling options but if i was to replace him then
Reifer, thought of him immediately,
would even consider Cornwall....he bats and can bring him arm over quite well
In reply to googley
The squad is out
In reply to Runs
amazing!! Picking on the chap with some sort of decent returns with ball and bat, given the context of this team's performance! Might as well drop Holder as he is showing up the batsmen as well!
it does not help that he does not have skipper.
In reply to googley
Remember how they used to blame Shiv, even though he was the only one earning his salary. It's the same lot.
In reply to hawk
So you would rather have A 4 prong pace attack with Gabriel, Al-Jo, Big-Jase and Reifer? Leaving the spin duties to be for Chase and Kraigg?
In reply to CricketLuva4
Exactly......i think we would be better serve with that attack
In reply to hawk
I might agree with you if we played in either England (Early season)/NZ/RSA, where a spinner's role is to keep an end tight and rotate the quicks.
In these conditions a spinner is necessary, and if you look at our most recent test wins, a spinner has often taken a decent portion of wickets.
Whether Bishoo is the right spinner or not is another debate entirely. But he's earned his spot based on his showing in the UAE.
The 4th innings of this game was a good chance to see if Bishoo could bowl us to a victory or at least give us a few wkts, but we only had 30 runs to defend (Not his fault).
In reply to CricketLuva4
Bishoo has a right to be there based on performances, but he won't win games for us consistently, this is not a matter of fault.
In reply to hawk
Yet Windies cricket producing more spinners than any other type of bowler.
Is there a disconnect?
In reply to ProWI
What do you mean by producing? A factory can produce a product that sells or ... well you know! Benn with all his long fingers and self didnt turn it much, didnt bounce it as much as expected, and frightened no one. Narine in his prime didnt get much in Tests after England showed how to push him to different parts, Bishoo for wrist spinnnwr is scared to bowl googleys or flippers it appears. Chase is a Hooper tyoe rest others spinner, the list goes on.
In reply to hawk
Spinners and bowlers in general need runs on the board to win games.
In reply to ProWI
isn't this part of the problem???
producing these type of bowlers that can't get anyone out at the Test level, more often than not they figures are 27-2-100+-0
