Players in the West Indies don't work hard enough - Garner

Joel Garner, the former fast-bowling great who is now West Indies' team manager, feels players from the region have promise but don't work hard enough.

"We've always had promising players, we've always had attractive players, the problems we have is that, most of the players are identified, I don't think they work hard enough, and they fall away," Garner said, in a media interaction on Tuesday. "I think that if the players are prepared to work as hard as they need to work, they can get to the top of world cricket as well."

When asked which areas the players might need to work harder on, he pointed to the lack of long innings and sizeable partnerships, which has been a problem for West Indies right through their ongoing Test series against India, apart from the final day of the drawn second Test in Jamaica.

"I think that the longer they spend in the middle, the easier the batting becomes," he said. "And I think that is one area that I'd like to see improve, where you'd like to see the fellows batting long, not only batting long but batting effectively.

Garner is an elitist..a company man.  he bound to come up with limited crap like dat. 

Garner wud never attack the wicb for its outrageous exploitation of west indies cricket, so parasitic, that it has put west indies cricket on its deathbed.

nothing will change unless and until the wicb is removed, its spot sanded raw to clean out its corruption and start new, afresh on a more cooperative basis for running the cricket.

dat is wat will solve it Joel you big huge impse.  the players work had enuff already.  it is jess with the stinking wicb as it  is there is nutten to work hard for

what west indies selectors are very good at is the act of dropping veterans. 

deh have always been good at that, heartless, like Sparrow sang  about the woman who wud not jump with him ' he no sympathy'

now wat is to come aftah dat is the question.  deh deh nevah think of dat before the pleasure of the heartless drop of a veteran.

deh din think of dat before deh drop Greenidge/Haynes and gave it to Williams and Campbell..Dujon and give it to keeper Williams..all leading to disaster

now Skourtney and Ramdin and is the same ting..even if TD agree.  and shive with 40+ and no one even close.  even if shive decline it is hard to see him less dan dem fellahs and dem  at 22

oh mi gord!

I cannot agree wit' you on dat.  dat is the worst, most inaccurate and most ridiculous opinion you ever come up with on this board.

it is not the players fault...and you cannot expect the players to sacrifice their own best interest as they see it for the wicb . 

that wud be insanity... totally opposite to the normal subjectivity of every mind alive.  why in the hell did you want the players to sacrifice for the board, to give up acting in their own best interest

people act contrary to their best interest only when their lives are on the line..'do that or else'

you have no idea how dat conception of yours, your response to the players action bugs me ketchim..that aspect of it above.

would you have act4d in favor of the wicb  were you involved..wud you have given up your rights money, freedom willing for the wicb..in the face of what Cameron and Hinds had concocted ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

how can you be in favor of west indies cricket while in support of its destruction which is exactly what Cameron and Hinds have fabricated ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

no one but cherubim and none entities want to play for the west indies anymore.  no one plays for the west indies with any enthusiasm anymore.  cud it be because of the pittances the players are no paid

I don' know what you are about ketchim but it surely is not the best interest of west indies cricket going on like you do above

I am open to a reasonable UNBIASED opinion :

WHY we playing this 4 Test series vs India.

ostensibly, to catapult them to # 1 ICC TEST rank.

I am all ears......
