What about a head coach consultant?

What about a bowling consultant?

what about a fielding consultant?

Seriously, what impact can Haynes make in such a short time before the games start?

Are you really moaning about this news? WE'VE NEEDED A BATTING COACH FOR YEARS, true WI fans should see this as A BIG STEP FORWARD, whatever you think about Gibbo the man has TRANSFORMED OUR BOWLING UNIT, the fielding is decent aswell, now with Haynes in the mix i expect our performances to go up a level, the batters have no excuses now.

Benny our best bowler regressed under Gibson watch or coaching may I say...

Let's see what Haynes can do in such a short time.... I'm not rushing to praise anyone til I see results... POSITIVE results that is.

Benny still took a bunch of wickets in the world cup UNDER GIBBO'S LEADERSHIP though!! , furthermore i'd rather have one fail and FOUR IMPROVE than one improve and four fail, Bishoo is the one in the hotseat now and i'm confident he will be a revelation for us over the next few years.

hope so too.. but Bishoo is not a product of Gibbo. He came on the scene without Gibson help.

Give me some names that improved under Gibson please? Actually, prove it too.

Yuh are right he is in de HOTSEAT....He may be abandoned before the end of the home series!!!!

Of course Bishoo done his own work to make it this far, but he still worked with Gibbo for a few weeks before he made his debut against England!! ,

As for who's improved, well clearly Roach and Russell have improved, that was evident with Roach's performance in SL where he got MAN OF THE SERIES and also Russell was a sensation in the world cup,

It's not just about individuals though it's also about the bowling unit as a whole, we made SL follow on in their own backyard, that's the first time we've done that to a team in YEARS, we also bowled out two of the best batting line-ups in the game (England and India) for modest scores at the world cup so clearly Gibbo is having a big influence on the bowling unit.

Now if we could just get both Taylor and Edwards into the mix then lord knows what will happen!! .
