ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC) — Fast bowling legend Courtney Walsh believes West Indies still need enhancement in key areas, if they are to become serious contenders with next year's Cricket World Cup in England on the horizon.

The Jamaican, currently the interim head coach of Bangladesh, identified competitiveness and consistency as the issues with the side, noting they needed “some fine-tuning” if they were to improve.

“I think consistency is the key. When I followed the games in the World Cup Qualifiers, I think we were up and down and a little bit inconsistent,” Walsh told Observer Radio's Good Morning Jojo Sports Show.

“And I am not sure as to the structure they have or what they are looking to work towards but there [are things] when I look at [them] from the outside that definitely could do with some fine-tuning to sort of make them more competitive and a little bit more consistent.”

WRONG

They need a whole NEW tune

In reply to Toney... man a look a work you think?

And we want to select league T20 players for the longer versions.

The things that Walsh is talking about have been the WI issues for a long time now and it will be a miracle if there are fix before the W/C, however we could only hope that they do not be inconsistent at the wrong time.

I agree with Your Assessment , however
the Lackeys of the Worst International
Cricket Board in the Commonwealth, aka the WICBC/CWI in this Forum relish
criticizing the Players .

The stark Freaking fact is that it aint the Players in Control of
Cricket in the Region , it is the Egotistical , Arrogant ; Dictatorial ; Haughty People in the WICBC/CWI &
All the Members of the Regional Boards who take their Cue from those
in the WICBC/CWI .

THESE VARIOUS CRICKET BOARDS HAVE

FOR 90 YEARS , NOT 90 DAYS OR 90

WEEKS ; BUT 90 YEARS . THEY HAVE NOT

SEEN IT IMPORTANT TO CHANGE THEIR

ARCHAIC STRUCTURE .

I cite the above too show that the
World has Changed , but definitely NOT THIS LOT . Imagine that during this period , despite Commissioning
Several Reports , they have been Resolute in ensuring that their 90
years old Structure remain unchanged.

THIS HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN IN THE

REGION , DUE TO MOST IF NOT ALL OF

THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE SPORTS

JOURNALISTS IN THE REGION ARE REALLY

LACKEYS OF THE WICBC/CWI .


UNFORTUNATELY THEY DO NOT POSSESS THE

TESTICULAR FORTITUDE TO BE CRITICAL

OF THOSE IN THE REGION WHO GOVERN

CRICKET .

Whether they like it or not ; THEY
are complicit with those who govern
Cricket in the Region for the current state of West Indies Cricket.

They relish targeting those who have
no voice , especially since WIPA has
now became a Branch of the WICBC/CWI .

Lets dismantle the system, replace it with club owners, and a draft system.
That will send some people to the crazy house

Having more Bajans playing regional cricket.
The only team without a Bajan is Jamaica, so I am looking out for my homies.
Guyana- Reifer
Leewards - Chain Holder
T&T - Primus, Kyle Hope
Windwards - Mayers, Kirk Edwards

JUST FREAKING IMAGINE ; WALSH IS THE

HEAD COACH OF BANGLADESH ; WHILE IN

THIS REGION ; WE ARE IMPORTING

FOREIGNERS TO TOP POSITIONS IN WEST

INDIES CRICKET .

This Folks tangibly demonstrates what I have been stating in this Forum for
Years :

THOSE IN THE GOVERNANCE OF WEST

INDIES CRICKET HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO

RESPECT FOR OUR FORMER PLAYERS OR

CURRENT PLAYERS .
