Sarwan & Gayle Tour Diaries
Wanted for Christmas: some big scores!

The long, hard journey in South Africa has now truly begun and, as I stressed in my last Tour Diary, we in the West Indies team need to be able to walk the walk – not just talk about it.

Yesterday was more like it from us in the Windies team.
We played to our true ability and it showed not only in the margin of victory over Zimbabwe in the second one-day match, by 110 runs, but also in the clinical way in which we dismissed them, after posting 286 for 9.

Today begins an interesting journey for me as I split my focus between recuperating from my recent ankle injury and following the fortunes of the West Indies team on tour in Zimbabwe, and later on South Africa.
Naturally, I am disappointed to miss out on these two series but I’m confident that Chris [Gayle] will handle the captaincy well in my absence. I was unable to reach him by phone when I called yesterday so I want to take this opportunity to wish him and the guys all the best. I’m sure they will do very well in the one-day matches in Zimbabwe.
I think we have a young and talented team and it’s a great opportunity for our players to perform and try and win convincingly and get some form before we move on to South Africa because that will be a much tougher tour. Therefore, it’s important that we start off on the right foot versus Zimbabwe to get ourselves ready to tackle South Africa in a few weeks from now.
