LENDL SIMMONS and Dwayne Smith are two naturally gifted cricketers in whom the West Indies have invested a lot of time and money.
Simmons, now 25, has represented the West Indies at all levels at home and overseas, from under-15s and under-19s to ’A’ team and Tests and limited overs internationals.
He bats with the touch of a special player, bowls useful medium-pace, is an electric fielder with (to borrow Tony Greig’s favourite phrase) a tracer-bullet throw. He even keeps wicket capably.
Smith’s credentials are similar. If anything, he is a better, livelier bowler and a more dynamic fielder, as fast and as good as anyone in the game, but doesn’t keep wicket.
Aged 20, he announced himself with a dazzling hundred off 93 balls against South Africa in Cape Town six years ago, surely the prelude to an exciting career.
