Bingo. We've seen Parchment. He's the sort of altenative they can come up with. Ganga outscores all comers in domestic cricket and has the technique to succeed in tests, even though he rarely does. I'm yet to be convinced there's a better option, though, even if he does only average 25.

Its a sad state of affairs that he may be there on merit. Though after 50 Tests and approaching 30, Id be running out of patience.
There just isnt much to replace him with.
Career stats for players that have played in the last 2 years. Given that Lara has gone, there is only 1 player that averages over 40. Thats a pretty depresing state of afairs and explains why a 'failure' like Ganga is still there.

Surely that West Indian all-rounder who plays for Durham could do better than Darren Ganga?
In fact, bring back Desmond Haynes. Even having not played for 20 odd years, I'm sure he could do as good a job as old Dazza.

Actually, could NZ's answer to Andrew Symonds - Andre Adams - become eligible for the Windies?

What about Wavell and Ryan Hinds?

Not for another four years or so.
It's probably politics wrt the Hinds brothers.

Love watching him bat, he's so correct and you know there is going to be a wicket soon

What happened to that Aussie bat with a Jamaican father who'd gone to qualify for the Windies? Is that the Nash J90 refers to?
Anyroad, with Ganga I guess it's what others have alluded too: paucity of options & a very attractive looking technique. Rather like Ramprakash when he played tests, Ganga looks like he should be scoring more because he looks so fluent.

Gareth Breese? No.

Is Brendan Nash an opener? Always thought he was a bowler who batted. Maybe that was Don Nash.

Neither of them are openers either. Always thought both looked decent bats at three and six respectively, but Wavell is getting on a bit these days and Ryan seems to have disappeared.
Interesting to hear about Ganga not being an opener, mind - I'd never seen him bat anywhere else, for any team. You have to feel for him - wonder what he'd do if given a go in the middle-order.
