The nature of the pitches in the West Indies is akin to those in the sub-continent, especially India, with their dry and brittle surfaces. And though Windies bowling is associated with super quick bowlers from Wes Hall to Curtley Ambrose, spinners have also been successful in the Caribbean. The West Indies themselves have produced three of the greatest in Alf Valentine, Sonny Ramadhin and Lance Gibbs. But their successes have been in Test cricket. In the shorter version, it has been the lot of part-timers like Vivian Richards and Carl Hooper to play a supporting role to their awesome pace attack.
