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?

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 still took a bunch of wickets in the world cup UNDER GIBBO'S LEADERSHIP though!!BallOil wrote: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.
, 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.AFRO wrote:Benny still took a bunch of wickets in the world cup UNDER GIBBO'S LEADERSHIP though!!BallOil wrote:Benny our best bowler regressed under Gibson watch or coaching may I say...

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

, 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!!
