Lloyd on the West Indies Coach

LONDON - West Indies' need a coach "who's strong and who will understand West Indies life", according to Clive Lloyd......more

He goes on to recommend Duncan Fletcher. Does Fletcher understand West Indian Life? I would have thought that the key skill would be technical know-how, in addition to understanding West Indian life. Certainly, a combination of a foreign coach and a West Indian Assistance Coach would have been better for West Indies.

However, his further comments suggest to me that "Big Cat" does not understand the root causes of our problems, in particular the paradigm shifts in the environment in which our cricketers develop. These are the issues we have to address.
