Positive signs for WI cricket

There were a few batsmen who scored brilliant hundreds and there were some good bowling spells by a couple of the bowlers on a few occasions.

That was quite encouraging to see. This is a sign that all is not lost in West Indies cricket.

But what’s crucial is the nurturing of that cadre of players.

Brian Lara alluded to the fact that in countries like Australia and England they develop mediocre players into great players, but in the West Indies it is not so.

The difference is, those countries have a proper structure in place to develop their players.

We in the Caribbean need to look at their structure and incorporate some aspects into ours. This will go a long way in developing talented players into great players.
