I've been saying for ages that Westwood is a poor player. Some of his stats are terrible:
career average less than 35
7 first class centuries in 116 innings
It's not as if he can be regarded as a promising youngster either: he's nearly 28.
Having a walking wicket at the top of the Warwickshire innings is putting too much pressure on the middle order. It can't help his captaincy either, knowing that he's struggling to hold down a place in the side on merit.
I do wonder sometimes how someone of such limited ability manages to make a living as a professional cricketer. And, given some of the players Warwickshire have let go or lost over the last few seasons, it makes you wonder why we held on to such a crapper as Westwood.
