Interim Jamaica Scorpions coach, Robert Haynes, says he wants to get the team playing smart and disciplined cricket as he expects them to be very competitive under his watch, starting with the Regional Four-Day Championship match against the Windward Islands Volcanoes tomorrow.

Regional batting overall has been on a low, so I wouldn't just leave it at the feet of Jamaica's cricket. But for us (Jamaica) to get back to being more competitive, we have to play smart cricket," the former Jamaica and West Indies spinner said.

"We have had games where we were in a position to win but we ended losing. So we are looking for people who have the discipline to go on and make big scores," said Haynes who added that he wanted the bowlers to be more disciplined and be able to maintain a certain amount of pressure on opposing batsmen.

I hope that Campbell, Blackwood, Walton and the other batsmen are listening to the coach. The team needs solid, long, consistent innings from the Yardie batsmen and not T20 audition.

Cannot wait to see Oshane, Leveridge, Levy in action, Odean Smith and Cotterrell are missing from the team.

Ent Smith playing wid Red Force and Cottrell wid de Hurricanes? Smith lose out to Gabriel for this round of matches.

Cottrell apparently will be playing in de BPL

In reply to Maispwi

Correct but would have liked to see all Yardie pacers in tandem.
