Re: Gibson on thin ice - ketchim - 06-15-2014
Gibson remains the exception to the global trend of a regular turnover of coaches.
The 45-year-old Barbadian allrounder had been England's bowling guru when West Indies signed him
up; according to his contract, last year he is now scheduled to carry on to October 2016.
Re: Gibson on thin ice - ketchim - 06-15-2014
It is an astonishing permanence, given West Indies' record of 13 defeats, three victories
and nine draws in 25 Tests under his watch against opponents ranked above them
on the ICC Test table;
major successes (five wins, no losses and a draw) have been achieved against :
Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

He has been the butt of regular criticism
Michael Holding said he needed to "learn how to man-manage";
others have been more strident.

Re: Gibson on thin ice - ketchim - 06-15-2014
Shiv also hinted that his form had suffered as a result of being put under pressure by :
current coach Ottis Gibson [i]who tried to dictate how he ought to bat.

MAPPIPPEE,
You make me lugh sometimes....this is one such time.
Like you rant on about the same thing, Ketchim will also.
I do agree with you though that Sarwan has not taken his opportunities and has not shown the mental strength to come back harder.
Even with Leicester he has continued to fail.
Sad but true.
Onto the topic though, the WICB are foolish to have extended Gibson's contract for so long, even if he was doing a good job.
