The West Indies team has begun to rely on spinners after previously frightening hitters with its quick bowlers.

West Indies batsmen were kept on the wicket by Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner, Colin Croft, and Curtly Ambrose.

In cricket, the West Indies, a side that frightened batsmen with its fast bowlers, is now compelled to use spinners.

The West Indies set a new record in one-day cricket history when they used spinners to bowl all 50 overs in a one-day match against Bangladesh.

In 1996, Sri Lanka used spinners to bowl 44 overs against the West Indies.
