Don’t write Windies off yet

LONDON. — Joel Garner has warned against “writing the West Indies off too early” ahead of their upcoming Test cricket series against England.

A three-match campaign starts with the first day/night Test ever staged in England, at Birmingham’s Edgbaston ground tomorrow. England, fresh from a 3-1 win over South Africa in a four-Test home series, will start as huge favourites.

Not only have the West Indies lost their last six Test series, they have been beaten in 14 of their most recent Tests in England and drawn the other three.

But fast-bowling great Garner, now the West Indies team manager, said Monday: “It’s going to be some interesting times.

I think people are writing the West Indies off too early and it could be at their own peril.” — AFP.
