The Trinidad and Tobago born bowler adds the needed impetus to the bowling line up. West Indies cricket was at its peak in the 70s producing bowlers like Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Malcom Marshall among others. Ian Bishop was of the same ilk – tall, fast, intimidating. Injuries at the age of 26 cut short what promised to be a very promising career.

He went on to play 43 Tests and 84 ODIs for the Windies. He made a comeback two years after his injury in 1991 and took his career best figures of 6/40 (v Australia, Perth, 1993) but further injuries curtailed his career. In between commentating duties, Ian Bishop completed an MBA.
