[VIDEO] Keith Arthurton - How did he get a place in the 1996 World Cup semi-final?

[Dulex9]

He had a horrible run in the 1996 world cup.

If I'm not wrong, he had a top score of 1 and 0s in that world cup.

WI also messed up that sf trying to finish the game quickly.

all i remember of arthurtun is him taking a 4fer to knock pakistan out the first champs trophy.

as a young fan i was totally baffled how this part timer was taking out settled pak batsmen, little did i know what a common theme this was to become in my story of supporting pak.

It happens- example Marty Guptill couldn’t buy a run in the wrld cup, his only contribution runs out Dhoni & puts his team in a wrld cup final Boom Boom.

The barrel was basically empty by 1996, the West Indies were struggling to identify any good batsmen other than Chanderpaul. Arthurton had a good start to his career and even scored test centuries against Australia and England, but was too inconsistent.

The fact that the West Indies failed to score at 4 runs per over when they had 8 wickets left going into the last 10 overs, indicates there was something else going on during that semi-final too, as alluded to by Richie Richardson since.
