    Seriously, what now for WI?

    I find it particularly galling that now that they have Seales and the two Josephs to give an attack that can test the very best their batting seems to have got even worse - it looks barely club standard at the moment let alone First Class What's happened to Jason Holder?

    Barry Richards was a genius - best batsman I've ever seen, better even than Garry Sobers (though not by much)

    Injured /unavailable players who could have changed series

    72/73 WI/Aus series might have been different had the WI selectors treated Sir Garfield with a bit more respect and picked him for the 2nd,3rd, 4th and 5th Tests
