Benn cannot be dropped in my estimation. if anyone is to go it would be gabriel and play both spinners
Both spinners would not be overkill in any way I can see. you playing to win. whatever achieves that is what I would do.
Gabriel has been a significant improvement over Sammy. and Narine would likely double Gabriels worth.
so it is gabriel/Narine.
Benn is secure. Benn would have had a match haul of upwards of 8 wickets had his catches been take. in the end he had to take his catches himself to get a wicket ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

* 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.

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
Re: Narine to replace Benn? - mapoui - 06-21-2014
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.

* 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.
