In the Sydney Morning Herald Alex Brown speaks to the man he believes is taking on the toughest job in world cricket, John Dyson. Brown describes Dyson as "gruff as a nightclub doorman and every but as uncompromising".
He doesn't expect a return to the glory days of the 1970s and '80s. Consistency will suffice for now. But what Dyson will insist upon is personal accountability among the players, many of whom have established reputations for nocturnal profligacy that far outweighs anything they have achieved on the field.
"I'm not a big believer in putting the broom through a place upon arrival," he said. "And I don't expect people to compare this West Indies squad with those of the '70s and '80s. "What they did for international cricket was to introduce a form of professionalism and dedication never seen before. "These guys have to develop their own personality and see what brand of cricket they can play.
