If I were picking a 12th man it would have been Garner. As I say, I have a long-standing admiration for Ambrose and that’s what won it when selecting a tall, hit the pitch type bowler. I guess the other option would be to just go with 4 quicks and drop Lance Gibbs which would be in keeping with how the Windies played much of their cricket during that golden era.
What an honour to have met so many greats of the game! My only claim to fame as far as WI are concerned is that I was once coached by Gus Logie. Not sure you’d be able to mention him in the same breath as some of the batsmen above but he was a damn fine fielder!
