ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Benn is back...one of 3 attacking bowlers west indies have. the other 2 are Narine and Shillingford.
west indies must play 2 spinners now..and 2 pacers. I don't care who the 2 spinners are as long as deh from those 3.

Well not as convinced about Benn tbh. But let's see. I'd prefer Narine and Shilly (hopefully he doesn't suck post his action modification) ideally. Benn isn't a bad option to have I guess. Also filling in somewhat of an "allrounder" role I suppose.
Also - has everyone given up on Bishoo? I know that he's far from consistent, but he's been doing well recently and that surely is a good sign? Yes, he probably hasn't done enough to warrant a place in test side so far, but generally speaking?
Also Permaul has turned out to be such a massive disappointment, I expected him to fill in a decent allrounder role (poor man's Shakib, if you will) - but he's grassed it.
taylor is experienced and gibbo likes that..older experienced fast bowlers.
taylor has been around for 10 years but he started young and had so many injuries he is not all that used up. if he is fit and ready to go he is as good or better than any other we have.
yet I dont like how gibson handles fast bowlers. we have had a ream of very fast youngsters coming through over the past 4- 5 years and none absolutely zilch has progressed. and I am not talking about roach and rampaul....
gibbo singled out jason holder and he has gone backwards not forward. deh picked cottrell and immediately he has gone backward. they ignored Johnson and he too regressed coming forward again this year a bit.
I give up on gibbo period but he is murder on west indian pace..ignoring the youngsters for tino best and fidel edwards while the kids stagnated. I suppose he is looking forward to grab taylor and stick him in there.
if taylor is ready its ok I guess. but gibbo simply must do soemthing about developing the young pacemen. he has already wasted a great deal of potential
benn is a leftie leggie..shilly and narine are offies. narine has great variety and that may lend some diversity if the both of them play. but i would prefer Benn and Narine. i think shilly will have it hard to get back in once Benn is there
