No disrespect to Samuel Badree he was good at what he did but what exactly would a white ball bowler teach a Test bowler???
errr....to learn another delivery other than the leg break.....bishoo had one ball for the vast majority of his career......homes didn't even learn the googly, a basic must have, until his final two yars in cricket, and by that time, he was too slow to fool anybody

Bishoo had natural skills; unfortunately, CWI takes rough diamonds and turns them into charcoal.

No one doubts that Bishoo had some skills but I think that he suffered from the lack of a captain who could utilise him properly. Still not sure if he was a better leggie that Dinas.

to be fair, two bad lapses by the batsmen. A full toss straight to a fieldsman and a glaring gap between bat and pad that a big Maxi could have gone through.

Dude, Bishoo did not have the skill needed to be a right-handed wrist spinner.
I have played with youth 13 & 14 years old who were developing into wrist spinners, who could bowl the googly.
I said on this mb in real time, the ball was too heavy for Bishoo.
T&T had some super wrist spinners during the Stanford tournament. I would have liked to be wicket-keeping to their bowling.
