I honestly feel shillingford was unnecessary in this test.Without his doosra,he is like a man without a spine.
Shillingford got those wickets against the run of play.Mostly due to batsman's mistake.
Would permaul have made a difference here..or even deonarine..(at least he has some "narine" in his name and coated with a deo),maybe he could replicate narine ...chuck it..i am high and this is never gonna happen..!!

I honestly do think Bishoo coulda made a difference than Benn. Doubt if Permaul could do much though. I had no much faith in Benn.

Bishoo was dropped after a few poor performances:
His 9th test against India in India
India 631 for 7 declared.
WI attack of Edwards, Roach, Sammy, Samuels, Bishoo
Bishoo 45 overs, 154 runs, 1 wicket
His 10th test against India in India
WI 590 and 134
India 482 and 242 for 9
WI attack of Edwards, Rampaul, Sammy, Samuels, Bishoo
1st innings: Bishoo 40 overs, 106 runs, 1 wicket
2nd innings: Bishoo 16 overs 65 runs 2 wickets
His 11th test against Australia at Bridgetown
WI 449 and 148
Australia 406 and 192 for 7
WI attack of Edwards, Roach, Sammy, Deonarine and Bishoo
1st innings: Bishoo 45 overs 125 runs 1 wicket
2nd innings Bishoo 8 overs 44 runs 0 wickets
I really don't think Bishoo would have done any better at Sabina than Benn and Shillingford.
In two of those test matches that WI lost they had a first innings lead and got blown away in their second innings.
Bishoo would probably have done no worse than Benn or Shllingford but I doubt he would have done better.
WI had a chance of winning that Bridgetown test and the Australians lashed Bishoo driving him out of the attack.
Whenever a team scores lots of runs against the WI it is always the fault of the selectors. Folks then put forward a bunch of names they feel certain would have bowled out the opposition for less than 150.
Elsewhere a man called for Fidel Edwards, another for Jason Holder.
I would have left out Shillingford and replaced him with Carlos Braithwaite but that probably would not have stopped NZ getting the runs they did. The pitch has some turn but it is slow as molasses.
