Man of the Match: M.A.Holding

 

[Slowcoach]

I restarted my West Indies tour of Pakistan after I noticed a few mistakes in player ratings I had entered.
I also wanted to use a larger West Indies squad, and the campaign injury rules for more variation in team lineups.
So here goes.



West Indies Squad for the 6 Test and 5 ODI tour of Pakistan in 1983:

C.G.Greenidge, D.L.Haynes, R.S.Gabriel, R.B.Richardson, I.V.A.Richards, H.A.Gomes, C.H.Lloyd, A.L.Logie, P.J.L.Dujon, M.R.Pydanna, E.A.Baptiste, R.A.Harper, M.D.Marshall, M.A.Holding, J.Garner, A.M.E.Roberts, W.W.Daniel, W.W.Davis, C.G.Butts

First match is a 50 over game against a Baluchistan XI, both teams clear to play with no injuries.
