“Afternoon Jamesâ€
Afternoon to you, Geoff Wignall.
“May I offer some further candidates for the Quirky XI?†Fire away Geoff!
A middle order built around Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Peter Willey, whose stances didn’t even resemble each others, let alone anything, anywhere in any coaching manual; Abdul Qadir, for an action that could only be copied by the three-armed; and Mike Proctor for bowling at around half the speed of light, chest-on off the wrong foot.â€
Shiv would make it in for mine, the reflective eye plaster things and the bail tap to take guard… that’s before we even get to his stance/technique. I note Bonner took guard with the bail at the start of his innings in this Test, how common is this now? Was it done before Shiv? Forgive my ignorance BUT I’m sure the OBO hivemind can get us the skinny on bail tappin’. Go go go!
