West Indies head coach Phil Simmons remains confident that his young side can perform well on Australian shores this summer.
The Caribbean side take on a Cricket Australia XI in a four-day game in Brisbane starting Wednesday, before they head south to Hobart for the first of three Commonwealth Bank Tests against Australia. Simmons plans to put the West Indies through a rigorous training regime at the Bupa National Cricket Centre in Brisbane over the next few days and is hopeful his young charges will be able to quickly adapt to the conditions in Australia. "Today was the first practice and the guys looked as good as you can look after a long flight," Simmons said on Sunday.
"We still have three days practice before the warm-up game and then three more days before the Test match, so I think it is about getting ourselves sharp enough going into the warm-up game and taking the warm-up game as serious as possible and making sure that during the warm-up game we do the things we want to do during the Test match."
