In spite of their high zone
ranking Weymouth continues
to look out-of-sorts suffering
a fourth straight defeat when
they lost a 3-2 thriller against
Ellerton Sunday night at the
Barbados Football Association’s
Wildey, St. Michael AstroTurf.
The result of this feature
match caused Ellerton to move
to fourth place in Zone Two.
Four goals were netted in the
first half, which saw Weymouth
fighting to come from behind
to equalise before the half-time
whistle.
In the second 45 minutes
of regulation time Weymouth
however produced no answer to
Ellerton’s goal scored five minutes
after resumption of play.
said Cricket West Indies had
tried foreign coaches over
the years without much success
and needed to tap into
the talent of local stars.
“What I would like to
see in the future of our
cricket is that people like
Gordon Greenidge, who has
coached all over the world,
and Desmond Haynes given
a chance. These guys know
about cricket and our cricketers
and they are not getting
a chance to show what
talents they have and I
think it is about time we
start to do something of
that nature,” he said.
He said a lot of overseas
coaches have been tried and
the West Indies team is still
at number eight (in Tests)
and number nine (in One-
Day Internationals).
Haynes was one of several
regional coaches identified
by Director of Cricket,
Jimmy Adams to fill the
post left vacant by the resignation
of Australian Stuart
Law.
The 62-year-old Barbadian
batsman, who played 116
Tests and 238 ODIs, worked
with the West Indies side as
a batting consultant eight
years ago in a short stint.
He was overlooked for the
vacant head coach position
in favor of South African Nic
Pothas, who had also been
shortlisted, before Pybus —
who was not among the
shortlisted group approved
by CWI.
Lloyd said West Indies
cricket is suffering from a
lack of strategic planning.
to lead the squad after missing
the tour of Bangladesh through
injury.
The selection of Bravo brings
to an end a bitter battle with
Cricket West Indies President
Dave Cameron which had
dragged on ever since he was
sent home in November, 2016
over a tweet in which he referred
to Cameron as an “idiot.”
Although CWI announced
an end to the impasse in July
2017 and indicated that the
Trinidadian was “available with
immediate effect to play in all
forms of cricket”, he did not
appear in a single representative
West Indies team until he
was chosen last October for the
Twenty20 tour of India and the
subsequent limited overs series
in Bangladesh last year.
England will play the West
Indies in a full series of three
Tests, five One-Day Internationals
and three Twenty20 Internationals
in the Caribbean.
