interview by MICHELLE McDONALD

Dwayne Smith has been a key component of the West Indies' One Day outfit. Lightening fast in the outfield, his medium fast bowling is also an important part of the attack. As a batsman, he can be explosive.

A few days after helping the West Indies to a win over Pakistan in the opening World Cup match, Dwayne Smith spoke to CaribbeanCricket.com about his World Cup experience so far, what he's working on, and who his mentors have been. Full Story

maybe the answer is to make better use of Smith's 'gifts from God'. I think we could turn him into a bowling allrounder. he is fit. he is a brilliant fielder. We need to work on his bowling and just accept that very occasionally he will make a quick fire 100.

Our cupboard is bare unfortunately.

In reply to crapaud very occasionally he will make a quick fire 100.

they have quite a few players who are much more consistent than Dwayne...the only thing that's good about him is his fielding

But aren't we measuring his performance on the wrong basis? We keep thinking he is a batsman.

When it comes to batting , all it is is just to close mih eye and swing hard, like I back in the pasture planassing cow

he is neither a good bowler or batsman...maybe FC level he's decent, but so far a failure at this level...only thing is he gets plenty chances to redeem himself because of BK's love for him

In reply to ray Crapaud Neither (nor) either (or) Please remember that, just a reminder. I have to make sure my homeboys are on the right track.

I have your innings by innings stats here. Before the 32, there was a duck against India, 25, 1, 1, 23, 0, 0, 8, 0...that couldn't have put you in a right frame of mind?


If one checks his scores after the interview, it seems as if Yammie might have destroyed his "frame of mind". :lol: :lol: :lol:
