adminMELBOURNE. — Coach Phil Simmons urged West Indies administrators yesterday to break the impasse that has star players unavailable for the Test cricket series in Australia.
Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Darren Sammy and Andre Russell are in Australia but playing in the Twenty20 Big Bash League while their national side struggles.
The West Indies were overpowered by an innings and 212 runs by the home side inside three days in the first Test in Hobart.
“I’m totally frustrated,” Simmons told reporters ahead of the second Test starting at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday. “It’s enjoyable to see Russell bowling at 140 clicks (kph) and (batsman Dwayne) Bravo hitting three or four sixes and Chris (Gayle) in (the Big Bash). — AFP.
