Root a model for Windies cricketers, says Sir Garry
Sir Garry, who witnessed the 186-run humbling at the Oval last Thursday, said there were definite question marks over the teams commitment.
I would say that I believe that we have a lot of good young players coming up, the icon said.
I dont know what motivates them at this stage, but as a cricketer myself, I always felt that when you are playing for your country it doesnt matter what cricket youre playing you should always be motivated and trying to do your best. Whether it is Test cricket or Twenty20. You shouldnt have to pick out one from the other.
He added: [From] watching them in these last three games, they certainly look out of all sorts. The English probably played well and you cant take that away from them, but I dont think our boys show the kind of talent that I have seen, particularly in Barbados, watching Barbados play against Trinidad and Jamaica and the like.
You see a different kind of cricket and I havent seen any real application of our players when they go in to bat.

I am glad it was the great man who pointed out something I had always believed.
There is a greater commitment shown for individual nations from the players than playing for the regional squad.
As much as they talk about "dung heap" on this board...let an Aussie state team, an English county team or a South African state side play in the regional four day and you would see they can't totally dominate in the regional tournament....the West Indies players will rise to the occasion to perform against them.
