I don't think West Indies batsmen can rely on "coaches". They need to work on their self-development in longer formats. Back in the days county cricket helped them grow. Now they have restriction there. There is no restriction you should only talk to West Indian cricketers to get some tips. Subhman Gill had a poor overseas record before ENgland tour. He had two conversations. One with Tendulkar. One with Steve smith. Made some adjustment. Finished with 752 runs in the series. WHy can't West Indies cricketers reach out fo batsmen from other countries. Ponting, Smith, ABDV, Tendulkar

How do you know they don't? Blackwood is on record saying he spoke with Kholi who advised him to "bat time". What ails our cricket goes beyond the batsmen asking for tips. There's the issue of self-interest at the top, parochialism, and incompetent people in high places. Surely our batting needs help; however, if the top (admin/coaches) rot, then the tail will ultimately rot. Imagine Floyd Reifer as a batting coach. Inagine sammy as an all format coach and only selector, imagine a President who's response to 27 all out is to defend the passport of the incompetent coach.

I submit to you that George Headley would have a hard time averaging 50 with this lot.

Hey VOR
Jumpy and other sycophants here are working hard to promote their mercenary hommies. But they are just that - mercenaries.

They really don't have WI cricket at heart yet they want the adulation of the fans, a la Pollard and Pooran. Bravo himself said he had no interest in becoming WI head coach. I suspect it's because the financial reward is too meager


PS

Jumpy and Co are reveling in the failure of any current WI team, even with their compatriots in the squad, because they want to see the backs of the Shallow/Bascombe/Sammy/Hope/ Chase administration. All Dotties I might add

These crabs are not West Indian at heart, evidently suffering from Dottie Complex.
