WICB hired Radford for the position of batting Coach.
Don't you remember all the great ones he produced at the HPC ???
BCL ain't chupid he is staying away from this bunch of ediots.
I am not a coach just a poor cricket player, Charlie Davis said it best.
Play spinners off the front foot, meet the ball before it hits the pitch
That's what he told Sobers.
Charlie was very good against spinners, he moved his feet .

All the batsman should be reviewing tapes of the last two games
The hosts' primary headache is the lack of form for many of their key T20 players. Lendl Simmons has scored just 21 runs in his last five T20I innings, while Keiron Pollard has not scored more than 26 in a T20I since July 2013, and has a disappointing (by his standards anyway) strike rate of 103.9 since then. Captain Carlos Brathwaite is yet to regain the touch that blasted West Indies to the World T20 title, and the openers lack experience. In addition, the previous game saw one of the worst fielding displays from West Indies in recent times, multiple schoolboy errors gifting Pakistan extra runs in a match they only won by three.
Team news
West Indies didn't make any changes after a dismal performance in the first game, so they are likely to stick with the side that so significantly improved four days later. The only question mark may be over the inclusion of Rovman Powell, who fell for a first-ball duck, with Jason Mohammad a possible replacement.

All the more reason for Luckyshoo to bowl against our fellas in de nets for better batting practice.
Shoo is a better legspinner...even de Pakis cannot play him.

Our fellas tasted de syrup in de nets and got drowned in it.
So Polly had de full confidence that he can dance down de pitch. It was an attempted follow up to what happened in de morning.

OK I take that back. Luckyshoo does not bowl syrup is Shadab who bowls it and Shoo bowls Savitra.

When u no nutting it's wise to be quiet.
Why not check the series that India played in the West indies and see how he did
against the Indian spinners
Then check Charlie Davis, see how he did.

Polly isn't happy with the WICB.
His play is lack luster, he comfy with the IPL and the million US each year.
2017-03-31 22:28:20
West Indies coach Stuart Law thought his batsmen "gifted" some wickets away to Shadab and the best way to combat him was to be "more ruthless."
link
We have plans for everyone. He's not the only one we're talking about, we're talking about everyone else. So we just need to come up with better execution when we're out in the middle and that's what it boils down to," Law said, "He's bowled very well, but I think we've gifted him a few wickets as well. I think we just need to be a little bit more ruthless against him and see what transpires after that."

yes, you know much, Sobers played against the best spinners from Aussie, England , India and Pakistan and murdered them.
How many top spinners did Charlie play against?

You obviously know little about the past.
Gupte had Sobers number when India played in the Caribbean
Sobers kept playing the Indian spinners off the back foot.
Look at Charlie's numbers playing the same Indian spinners

Gupte had Sobers number when India played in the Caribbean
Sobers never played against Gupte in the Caribbean, he played him in India and murdered him , 3 centuries in 4 matches, 142*,198 run out and 106*.
Rohan scored 256 in that series.
Charlie is one of Sobers best buddies, he is the one that brought Lara to Sobers in the Sobers Tournament at a 14 yo.
2017-04-01 18:39:09
West Indian Charlie Davis once said: "The problem with Garry was that he was too modest. He didn't know how special he was. He expected us to bat like him and catch like him. He thought all of us were like him. He would come in and say, 'I will get a 150, Kanhai you give me a 100, Charlie you give me a 75'. That was it. That was the plan. No self-doubt."
Charlie Davis also shared another famous story to journalist Sriram Veera about one of his West Indian teammates who asked if 'he (Sobers) bats like this all the time?', after Sobers raced from 29 to 132 in 30 minutes after a bowler hit Basil Butcher in the chest with a bouncer. Charlie replied, "He is Garry Sobers, you know. What he can do, we can't even think of doing."

Sorry my error check out the series with India 1971.
Sobers had difficulty playing the Indian spinners off the back foot
Charlie mentioned play them off the front foot. Sobers did if I recall
then the last Test in the last innings went back to the back foot.
I am aware there is an article about this will try and find it .

There were many good partnerships between Charlie and Garry in that series
