Brian Rose's test match career was cut short in the Carribean in 1980-1 when he developed eyesight problems. He batted in glasses thereafter and never played test match cricket again. This was a personal tragedy and England's loss. At home against the WIndies in 1980, on pitches helpful to the WIndies pace attack, he looked the real deal.
They had Gower sussed even then, that he couldn't play against West Indies. He never really did it. Admittedly he didn't get much chance against their accurate bowling.
