Ian Bishop
 Ian Bishop made his
Test debut for the West Indies against India in Georgetown in 1989, he
was genuinely quick and from a long straight run and
orthodox side-on action he generated pace and side-ways movement. From
early in his career Bishop was seen by the cricket pundits in the West
Indies as an heir to the islands fast bowling dynasty. However his
bowling careeer was interupted by serious back injury when in 1991 he
was diagnosed with stress fractures of the vertebrae.
Two seperate, serious back
injuries may have ended lesser men's career's much earlier. But Ian
Bishop underwent intensive rehabilitation, and recovered each
time to establish himself as a world class bowler despite
a modified action, which made him
more front-on. Despite a lack of control sometimes caused by
his remodelled action, he still generated pace and never lost the
ability to swing the ball both ways .
Ian Bishop's potentially
outstanding career was severely restricted by two seperate stress
fractures of the back. Bishop played his last Test, against
England, at kensington Oval in March 1998. After retiring he
has started a career as radio and television commentator, Bishop is
currently a Stanford 20/20 legend with responsibilty for team Bahamas.
