A fresh-faced novice of 20 is on the verge of playing Test cricket after 25 first-class games. Whether Crane actually plays in Birmingham against West Indies is debatable. In Test cricket it is not possible to bowl with four men on the boundary for any length of time. Even though pace bowling may be one of the stronger suits of West Indies they cannot match the expertise of the South Africans. This West Indies team is not burdened by high expectations – although they have two Hopes (Shai and Kyle) in their squad.
