Lloyd was lucky to inherit Andy Roberts in his team and have the talents of Holding, Croft, Garner, etc ready.  With talents like that who need the likes of Inshan Ali, Imtiaz and Jumandeen?!

However, he still kept Gibbs on in 76 until he broke the World record.  Plus he still used Richard's offspin quite a bit during the reign as captain.

Yes Googs , BUT the point is that England with Tyson Statham et al ( see dillinger above)

and OZ  : had already known 4Prong Seamers earlier than 75/76 !!

Lloyd did NOT invent it OR discovered it !

As a matter of fact we were a "johnny come lately" ... :-[

I was disappointed to read Gavaskar's recollection of the 1976 Test at Sabina Park:

cricket.yahoo.com/blogs/yahoo-cricket-bl...bina-park-14210.html

It is a shame that, to the best of my knowledge, there is no footage of this Test in circulation.

LanceKraigg’s time is up. He has never truly moved on as a player. Despite being captain and senior batsmen we will lose nothing with investing in a rookie.

AdrianDarren Bravo had a remarkable 2020 cricket season, showcasing his skills and talent on the field. His impressive performance was a significant factor in the team's success, and his dedication to the sport is truly admirable. Bravo's ability to adapt to different playing conditions and his consistent batting average made him a valuable asset to the team.
