No disrespect to Samuel Badree he was good at what he did but what exactly would a white ball bowler teach a Test bowler???

Devendra Bishoo was named ICC Emerging Player of the Year one needs to ask how did he fall that rapidly!!!

Who Taught Bishoo This???

Or This???

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.
