Windies spin doctor offers tips

IRELAND have been given some timely advice on spin ahead of their World Cup Super Eights clash against England from West Indies legend Lance Gibbs.

Ireland’s top spinner Kyle McCallan said he was overjoyed to meet the 72-year-old, who was the first spinner to reach 300 Test wickets.

“It’s always nice to meet one of the legends of the game, and interesting to see the state of his spinning finger,” said McCallan.
