Whether he played with protective gears or not doesn't matter. He would be just another random West Indian mercenary in this T20 era and not anything special like he was in 80s for that era. In this era, currently, there are several West Indian mercenaries like him. True cricket is lot tougher these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did he fare in county vs his own boys ? That would give a better picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
