“Not specifically to Dave [Warner], but I think we’ll get through that Test championship and then start to have a look at what it looks like. Different opposition, different surface. We’ll work through that.”

The Number One West Indies cricketer is Snuffy Browne. Quite literally their Number One – the alphabetically first player in the first ever Windies Test team, therefore cap numero uno.

Definitely a contender for the Number One West Indies cricketing name, but if only he’d been called Snuffly Browne he’d have been a dead-cert for inclusion in the Windies Winter Wonderland All-Time XI.
