The First Officer might actually be an excellent stick and rudder person, or even more ‘experienced’ in those particular conditions; we don’t know.
Similarly there are many unknown aspects; what was the ‘actual’ wind, or at least the tower report on which (presumable) a decision to land would be taken?
Was the runway wet? If so this should have influenced the decision to land – crosswind landings aren’t just about getting onto the runway, you have also got to stay on the runway, and just because the subsequent landing was ‘OK’ doesn’t mean that it was safe or justified.
