India’s star batsman Virat Kohli met West Indies great player Wesley Hall. Hall has played 48 Test matches in his career and taken 192 wickets.
After Team India’s practice session in Barbados, 86-year-old West Indies veteran fast bowler Hall came to meet Kohli. The former Indian captain was seen sitting with Kohli and posing for pictures in the dugout. Kohli also released Wesley’s book.
Wesley Kohli said- You have come to practice and you had to meet an old man. I have seen many great players and you are one of them. I watched your career and I hope you play for India for many more years.
India’s Bowlers Top Class- Hall
Wesley Hall believes that the Indian bowling unit is world class. He said, some bowlers are very fast, bowl very hard bouncers, and then there are players who bowl the ball right on the line and before you can say it, you are out. The point is that I would rather get you out than kill you. I think Indian bowlers are world class.
Wesley Hall also met Indian team coach Rahul Dravid.
Test cricket has fallen in front of T-20 league money – Hall
On the decline in interest in Test cricket among the people in West Indies, Hall said, you just need some players who stay with you. I mean, at one time, we had some great players, but they were not playing Test cricket. But that’s the problem, you see.
If I’m working class, I don’t have any money and someone offers me a million dollars for four years, I really can’t refuse it.
Cricket has become batter friendly – Hall
Hall believes that cricket has become batter friendly in the last few years. He said, we must know that things will change. The game has become more batsman friendly in T-20 cricket. There are some things I wonder about.
I just wonder why batsmen are able to bat the entire innings, whereas bowlers are able to bowl only 4 overs. I often ask this.
Pacer must be at least 6 feet tall – Hall
The 6 feet 5 inches bowler Hall believes that a good fast bowler should be at least six feet tall. You have to remember that when we retired, we had about two fast bowlers in the West Indies. Some of them could not make it to the team. We should always look for some good fast bowlers.
I like a six feet fast bowler. When you bowl the ball in the slip corner, look for bounce. Like Big Bird Joel Garner did, and (Curtly) Ambrose. These guys, they bowl and they were able to get the bounce.
