Mervyn Dillon has long been labelled as the natural
successor to Courtney Walsh. His action has a hint of the same
well-oiled efficiency, and he takes a high percentage of wickets
with the ball that angles in then just holds its own. But Dillon has
neither the deceptive pace of the young Walsh nor the matchless
craft of the later model. He remains an adequate stock bowler who,
in another era, would hardly qualify for the new ball. Nevertheless,
he did everything that was asked of him during West Indies' series
victory over India in 2001-02, leading the attack with a
rarely-witnessed passion, and bowling his side to victory at
Bridgetown and Kingston. His bowling fell away after that, and the
emergence of a number of younger, quicker bowlers meant that
Dillon's place was no longer secure. He was left out after the
series in South Africa in 2003-04, but made it into the Champions
Trophy squad, and took a career-best 5 for 29 against Bangladesh at
the Rose Bowl, although injury ruled him out of the rest of the
tournament
