Chanderpaul should know better, he shouldn't be volunteering to bowl...and if he was asked by Ganga to bowl he should have said "nah mate, you don't wanna bowl me, I'm ****"
As a bowler, you'll never say that. If the cap'n suggests you turning your arm over, you don't say no - he might not come back to you again. Obviously it was different for me as I was always the captain's "go-to guy". Blame the selectors for not picking a spinner from the wealth of spinning talent available in the windies... WHERE IS OMARI BANKS!?!
at "go-to-guy", but Chanderpaul is not "a bowler"That's something I was thinking of last night. How many other non Zim and BD Test teams would Ganga get into, never mind capatain? Maybe NZ but I can't think of another....
England... for Strauss?
We have better alternatives than Ganga, so still no.
such as?
I can only think of one Kiwi batsman that Ganga might have trumped in his career-time; and that was Lee Germon - who was really a keeper anyway. Ganga wouldn't exactly be the first name on the team sheet for Zimbabwe, and I think that he'd be perilously close to not getting in the Bangladesh squad. He'd be nowhere near the Kiwi team, or even the Kiwi A team for the one day game, and there's plenty of players available in NZ who are better than him. Even Jesse Ryder can't get in the NZ team, and everyone knows how good (he thinks) he is!!!
Just about every batsman in the CC tbh. Most obvious candidate woud be Tresco, who will hopefully be back before too long (though I don't want him rushed back).
Key, Butcher, Ramps, Hildreth the list goes on and on. batting is not a weakness atm, tbh.
Me.
