Windies cricket in total mess: Dyson | Former West Indies coach John Dyson has said that the one-time world champions are in a mess and face a belting in the three Tests against Australia starting this month. The 55-year-old, who coached the West Indies to a series win against
England this year, is concerned about the structure of the team and doubts it
can recover. “You look at that great era they had (in the 1980s and '90s) and
what a fantastic team it was - they were just blessed at that particular time
with a team of great players. But given the way everyone else has progressed and
the West Indies haven't, it's difficult to see that happening again,” The Herald
Sun quoted Dyson, as saying. “Everyone else has moved forward, but the West Indies
are stuck in the past. They haven't caught up with their competitions. They need
to look at the whole structure,” he added. Dyson further said that the country
has plenty of talent, but it is not nurtured like authorities in various other
parts of the world do. “The Australian structure has been very good all the way
through, but it's not like that in the West Indies ,” Dyson said. “Regional cricket
is played on very poor wickets, they practise on very poor wickets. There are
some good players spread around there, but there are so many problems, as seen
with the industrial strike that they've just had,” he added. West Indies are scheduled
to play three Tests against Australia in November and December, as well as two
Twenty20 games and five ODIs in February. |
