Windies' coach should be one of us

In the Jamaica Gleaner Tony Becca feels that the West Indies need a home-grown coach:

West Indies cricket and West Indies cricketers need a local coach, it is as simple as that, and whether it be Gus Logie or Roger Harper again, David Williams or Phil Simmons, Eldine Baptiste or Otis Gibson, James Adams or whoever, until that happens, until West Indies players are assisted by their own, West Indies cricket will never return to or even near to its former glory.

In the same paper Anthony Foster disagrees with the appointment of Chris Gayle as Jamaica's captain, saying Tamar Lambert would have been a better choice.

Learie had foreseen the inability of Test cricket to fit practically in a world with less leisure time and more impatience. Aghast at his imaginings, he cast his not-quite-cricket thoughts aside, but he could not escape their unavoidable return.
