West Indies - Packerless v The Mediocre

[Lillian Thomson]

Much discussion on the merits or otherwise of the current West Indies side. But who wins a match between the 1977 side missing a whole squad of World Series players and the side who played the last Test against Australia?


Packerless

AB Williams
SFAF Bacchus
HA Gomes
MLC Foster
AI Kallicharran*
DA Murray†
S Shivnarine
DR Parry
N Phillip
VA Holder
RR Jumadeen

Mediocre

KC Brathwaite
R Chandrika
DM Bravo
SO Dowrich
SD Hope
J Blackwood
D Ramdin*†
JO Holder
V Permaul
KAJ Roach
JE Taylor

Close call, but not if you put Sylvers in the Packerless side, that would be a no contest

 

[Howe_zat]

The 77 side, Kallicharan excepted, doesn't have much of a legacy does it? Barely heard of them.

Murray batting at six makes it look bloody ordinary.

Gomes was a regular during their golden era as well.
