And what the hell does the Panama Canal have to do with Headley's batting.

Absolutely nothing

Headley learn to Bat after age 10 upon his Dad return from building Panama Canal ..

try and connect the dots 

A man name Meril say:

Quote:Based on the aformentioned cricketers, I will now choose my 'All time 1st team in chronological order;

Gordon Greenidge: Arguably West Indies greatest opening batsman
Desmond Haynes: West Indies most sucessful opening batsman alongside Greenidge.
George Headley: The greatest West Indies batsman of his era
Sir Vivian Richards: Indubitably The most destructive batsman ever
'Prince' Brian Lara: Considered one of the greatest batsman of all time, can be aggressive, and also be reliable-400 & 501 not out.
Sir Garfield Sobers-Undeniably the greatest allrounder
Sir Clyde Walcott-One of the famous 'W's (Sir Everton Weeks, and Sir Frank Worrell-the other two)
Malcolm Marshall-West Indian greatest fast/pace bowler
Michael Holding 'Whispering Death' The quickest of 'em all '
Curtly Ambrose One of the most economical bowler
Lance Gibbs-West Indies greatest off spinner

a pioneer that helped bring west indies respect worlwide.

And I think although he was quite pedestrian in his batting it was necessary for the time.
