HEADLINE: Estwick wants Windies improvement in all areas

Bowling coach, Roddy Estwick, says West Indies are still not pleased with their execution in all departments and will be working to improve these areas in the build up to today’sopening Twenty20 International against Pakistan.

The Windies easily beat an Emirates Cricket Board XI by 22 runs in their only tour game on Tuesday and Estwick said this outing had highlighted deficiencies which needed to be corrected.
”[The game] was a good work out for us because it was the first time we’ve been out in the middle since we’ve been here so we’re happy with that,” Estwick told reporters here.
”But there are areas to improve and we’re going to try and make sure that over the next few days we try and utilise all the facilities and get it absolutely right.”
One area of concern would have been the Windies’ batting. Over the first half of their innings, they struggled against the left-arm spin of Ahmed Raza and were meandering at 74 for four in the 11th over.

Estwick just has to do what he is paid to do. As far as improvement is concerned, I expect to see the opposite. First, we do not have a balanced team with three openers and all three are wicketkeepers. We needed an extra middle order batsman like Ramdin, especially with Gayle, Simmons and Russell out. Secondly, we cannot expect to improve when the selectors and management continue to destabilize the confidence of the team, two days before a tour like we saw with the dropping of coach Simmons, Sammy, two days before a home game where a stadium was named after him, Gayle and others, before the last world cup. That's not how we improve sir.

In reply to sandisha The team have good enough players to compete, the players just need to execute and take advantage of their opportunities.
