Bishoo’s nerve impresses Gibson
DEVENDRA Bishoo bowls on his Test debut during the second day of the first Test on Friday. PROVIDENCE, May 14: West Indies coach Ottis Gibson has hailed Devendra Bishoo for the maturity that he has shown since his entry onto the international scene.
The 25-years-old leg-spinner finished with four wickets on his Test debut to help bowl Pakistan out for 160, and hand West Indies a 66-run, first innings head on the second day of the opening Test at the Guyana National Stadium.
“Judging from his debut in the World Cup a few months back, he has showed signs of being a very intelligent bowler,” said Gibson
“He showed he has the ability to handle himself when he is put under pressure, and that’s a very good sign.”

Bishoo trapped Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq Ibw to claim his first Test wicket, and proceeded to scalp Asad Shafiq, Mohammad Salman, and Umar Akmal to transform the fortunes of West Indies.
“He only had 226 at which to bowl, but he did not show any nerves,” said Gibson. ” He has been very adaptable, and handled the situation very well.
“Umar Akmal came at him quite hard, and he responded very well. He varied his pace, and demonstrated that he knows exactly what he is doing.”
Bishoo’s entry into Tests has been made extra special because it has come in his native Guyana, and he admitted feeling the pressure to perform.
” I wanted to do well,” he said. “Here at home, a lot of people have been giving me great support, so I wanted to get wickets as my way to say thanks.
” My first wicket was a relief. It was a relief to get one in the bag. I knew I got ( Misbah) dead in front.”……
