Narine to replace Benn?

burp!

Mappy:

* Do you recall part-time spinner, Narsingh Deonarine, nearly bowling the West Indies to victory at Kensignton Oval against Australia in 2012 ?

* Had the #1 WI spinner in that test(Bishoo) taken a wicket or two

---

the WI could have won that test.

Rev

well Bishoo is not Benn.

and for some reason off-spin always does well at Kensington.  I remember Gibbs bowling India out at Kensington.

tenks fuh reminding me.  I now recommend that Narine replace Gabriel at Kensington

was it India or Australia who Gibbs bowled out at Kensington.  what did I actually remember then ::confused::

anyhow off spin will work at Kensington.  Narine mus' play!

* You mentioned off spinners doing well at Kensington----but actually spinners on the whole have done well.

* Gibbs took 22 wickets in 5 tests

*  Ramadhin took 17 wickets in 4 tests

* Laker took 13 wickets in 2 tests

* Benn has taken 12 wickets in 3 tests

* McGill took 10 wickets in 2 tests

* Shillingford has taken 9 wickets in 2 tests.

CONCLUSION:

* It might not be a bad idea for the WI to play 2 spinners at Kensington----on day 4 and 5 spinners will take wickets.

Rev

* Gibbs took 8/38 against India in 1962.

* Mappy you is a old dude. ;D hahaha

excellent posting rev.  you know yuh stuff>

I am sure they will play the 2 spinners on Thursday :-[

old enuff.  Methuselah ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

* I'd be shocked if the selectors play 2 spinners at Kensington.

* That would be the prudent thing to do.

* But the selectors may choose not to change a winning team.

* Personally I would play Shillingford ahead of Gabriel as the 4th bowler.

* I'm assuming Narine is still in the DOG HOUSE.
