I take it people are not a fan of Garner? I'm not really sure why. It would be interesting to know why you form such strong opinions. I don't really know a whole lot about him.

Thought these positions used to be a Tour by Tour contract basis....

FORMER West Indies fast bowler, Reon King agrees that the upcoming Test series between West Indies and India will definitely be a tough challenge for the Caribbean side.West Indies are currently languishing at number 8 in the Test rankings, just above Bangladesh, and King, who took 53 wickets in his 19 Tests, pointed out that India have a formidable batting line-up and the contest will be equally tough against the Indian spinners.

The 40-year-old King added “West Indies are still in transition phase, but playing at home certainly will give them some boost. While the series will be challenging, I think ‘patience’ will be the key word, but having said that, India, on the other hand, are also going through a transition phase. They too have a young team,” King pointed out.
