Steyn and Roach

Steyn and Roach in two recent tests at the Oval and North Sound have resoundingly proved why fast bowling is so vital to cricket. Newzealand and England earlier had some hopes of drawing the tests but Steyn and Roach had other ideas. The West Indies were at their best and it must have been after a long time that they had a double century first wicket stand. In Narine, they have a very aggressive spinner but it is their third seamer spot which leaves a lot to be desired.Sammy may be a good captain but he is hardly in Brearly class and even if he is he should play as a batsman who can bowl. After all unless he is better than  Taylor,Edwards and Russell, there can be little justification for him in the bowling line up. Russell as a bowling all rounder will bring more value to the attack.,
