England will do well on their 10-week tour of the West Indies, but they will be fortunate that they will not be up against a team that's at its strongest at the moment. The opinion voiced by Michael Holding is one of many during his interview to Laura Williamson in the Daily Mail.
He also speaks about a number of issues including England's team composition, the role of money, how vital cricket is to Caribbean culture and the dangers surrounding the game.
'Cricket is the only thing that brings us together. People from islands that never produce a West Indies cricketer, identify with the West Indies team because it's the region. And whenever that dies we have lost a great deal.
It's like the Obama thing here in America. Every African-American now feels as if he is worth something because Obama is now the president of the United States. In the Caribbean, we care about West Indies cricket. That's what West Indies cricket means.'
