Zaheer I saw a West Indies New Zeeland match in the late 60 s in Georgestown Guyana. I was with my father. What I want to say is that Turner from New Zeeland got a double century. Since then the West Indies cricket grounds has not changed much. They are batting paradizes. Only I saw a spinbowler from India called Prassana doing unpossible things with the ball. Even Sir Garry Sobers was very careful with Mr.Prassana. As a fast bowler you have to be pinpoint on line with each and every delivery. If you can keep bowncers on head hight you will be succesful. The hard grounds allow the balls to bounce easily. Even West Indian fast Bowlers had problems with keeping the bouncers on the correct hight I once saw with Sanjay Manjrekar. So good luck. Same to say to my West Indian pacemen. Its that extra bounce that counts . But it should land on nose hight.Marshall was a master in getting it. He was a variety men. Dr.Varma from the Windies.

Yes they are batting paradizes, fast bowler has nothing in it. The bowlers having pace variation and good line and length will get success.

reply Gentleman even if the Incometax team from Guyana plays against the firebrigade team from Trinidad on local grounds on the country side in say Trinidad you see the the humble spinner who tries to copy mr.Prassana from India doing well.That moisture which is helping a lot. Climate is hot and dry now in march. We did had some rain buts that a good time back. Dr.Varma

Gentleman Mr.Prassana was assembling some problem in each and every delivery he bowled. The whole batting power of West indies of those day was careful in handling him.If you sat in the stadium you could follow the ball from his hands on. Indeed problems started when it landed. Its a fact people remember him in honour. Dr.Varma
