Croft on Permaul

Remembering that “common sense is not always common” :

why did WI selectors Clive Lloyd, Courtney Walsh, Eldine Baptiste and Courtney Browne pick a third fast bowler, Shannon Gabriel,

instead of what was needed on that well-known Warner Park spinner-friendly pitch :

a second full-fledged spinner in left-arm orthodox Veerasammy Permaul ?

Could it have been that :

Lloyd; 110 Tests; who captained a world-beating team with great fast bowlers,

Walsh; 132 Tests, one of those greats,

Baptiste; 10 Tests; another faster bowler under Lloyd’s captaincy,

Browne; 20 Tests; who was poor to spin anyway as a wicket-keeper,


Still do not know, appreciate or understand what is meant by  “using horses for courses” ?

WI present selectors should have known the history of spin at Windsor Park.

That blinkered omission of Permaul caused WI to lose Test No. 1.

Is Holder good enough to be relied upon to be the second of two seam bowlers?

Ambrose need to ensure Holder does....that is why he is being PAID
