ST GEORGE'S, Grenada, CMC:

The Denesh Ramdin-led West Indies go into today's second Test in Grenada with the hope that recalled legspinner Devendra Bishoo will be able to spin a web around England's batsmen.

Lifted by the brilliant last-day batting of one-day captain Jason Holder, West Indies held on for a draw in the first Test. Holder scored his maiden Test century and Ramdin says the regional team gained some momentum from the draw and he believes they can now exploit whatever weaknesses exist in England's game to their own advantage.

"I think the character and the way we fought that last day, and not just the last day but throughout the Test match, was fantastic. the way the guys stood up in the bowling department and the batting department," Ramdin said yesterday.

Bishoo has been brought in to replace left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn who was ineffective during the Antigua contest.

Bishoo was dominant during the just concluded regional first-class season, where he picked up 61 wickets - the second highest tally in the competition - at an outstanding average of 17.

The Guyanese played the last of his 11 Tests three years ago but Ramdin believes he can have an impact, especially as the game wears on.

"On a day-four and day-five pitch, the spinner always comes into play and with his type of bowling, he has a lot of different types of deliveries in his armoury, which will help the team," Ramdin pointed out.

"So once he gets an opportunity tomorrow and over the next five days, he can do the job for the team, which is to pick up wickets. He likes to bowl and he will enjoy this opportunity." As they proved in the opening Test, England will be more than a handful. Veteran right-hander Ian Bell and rookie left-hander Gary Ballance both got solid hundreds while Joe Root and Ben Stokes also gathered half centuries.

New-ball bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad will lead the attack again with off-spinner Moeen Ali, drafted into the touring party following the Antigua Test, also expected to make the final XI.
