Assistant coach Roddy Estwick has warned West Indies to get their act together and find the tenacity and motivation required to win the second Test against New Zealand which bowls off at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Friday (6 pm, Thursday, Eastern Caribbean time).
In a frank assessment of the team’s performance in last week’s heavy loss in the opening Test, Barbadian Estwick on Wednesday reminded his side that Test cricket was a tough game which offered “no hiding place”, and unless they were prepared to be mentally tough and scrap hard, they would find themselves on the losing side once again.
West Indies lost the opening Test at Seddon Park in Hamilton by an innings and 134 runs inside four days after two shocking batting performances.
“You’ve got to be prepared to work hard. The bowlers have got to be prepared to bowl long spells – a lot of overs – the batsmen have got to be prepared to bat for a very, very long time,” Estwick contended.

Amazing the bowling coach would say that, how about him working on improving on the no+ball problems and some strategy to limit the NZ batsmen

Who assesses the coaching staff at the end of each tour? I need to know this, because all I can read about them speaking crap like everybody is stupid and not verse in the game.

Estwick, please don't tell us what we already know, but do tell us how you are going to coach the team to achieve victory, how are you going to motivate the captain to be more creative in the field, how you are going to motive Da Silva etc.
