[size=14pt]There is no question Curtly Ambrose has had a positive impact on the current West Indies team. He joined the team at the start of the current WI/NZ series and we have already seen WI players develop a greater belief in themselves thanks to the encouragement and motivation of the former WI great. [/size]
* At the start of the series Ambrose said to the players, " you don't have to be the best, but you must always try your best."
* Based on what we have seen from Ramdin and his boys so far, it appears as if the players have been listening carefully to the words of wisdom from Ambrose.
* Let's see how this Barbados test match plays out.
* But a WI series win, and Curtly Ambrose's stock will be sky high.
As I said before ... Ottis is one crafty devil!!!!
With his new contract ... surrounding himself with support staff to take the fall while he sits back as a $300K+ figurehead to take credit if WI do well >

* Otis Gibson is the quintessential FREE LOADER.
* And you're right---he is one crafty devil----if the WI defeats NZ he will take the credit----and he will not be unloaded.
OTIS MAY BE CRAFTY ON OFFICE POLITICS BUT HE IS INCOMPETENT AS A CRICKET MAN..TOTALLY SO!
all we have to prove my contention is simple analysis of west indies on field movement since he has been coach. it is one load of crap to the next.
in Bangladesh: he starts a series of ODI by piking 3 bowlers and gets beat..2 games in a hole before he realises that he is a bowler short which is why he got beat. he reverses himself and wins..evens the series. then for the final he reverts to 3 bowlers and gets beat again after giving the Bangs a huge total to make.
he came up a bowler short! the Bangs murdered the bits and pieces for some 350+ runs in an ODI.
::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::
I was stunned. we were talking about this on Ballys board while it was taking place.
then he went to the 'youthing' of the west indies along with traitor Hillary Beckles...with backed up by Hillaire and Hunter... who sang the revolutionary merit of the youth in remaking west indian success, up and dong the west indies.
predictably the youth failed and we are back to Benn, Shive and Gayle...whose re-inclusion was due to Prime Ministerial intervention..which is what it took to trump wicb baby tantrum. the wicb is always in emotional travail, imposing childish behavioural crap on the region.
do we deserve that.... ::confused:: maybe! we let it go on and on!
and there are so many more instances of Gibson stupidity in the cricket they are too many to list
anyhow I don't think it is so much down to Gibson craftiness as a coach as that the leadership finds his subservient bull crap consistent with their own bureaucratic needs at the moment. Gibson cant survive on his cricket acumen. of this what he has exposed makes him unfit for any other coaching job in the world.
Gibson as a coach is done in the world of cricket..finished. he will never ever get a coaching job again on his west indian creds. so no doubt he is totally at the mercy and behest of the wicb bureaucracy. Gibson is in fact no so much crafty as he is a pet, the office muppet and go-fer goof at the mercy of everyone..his job and keeping all. and for that he is prepared to do anything at all
Gibson is a jackass and an incompetent all round who became lucky to coincide with the needs of an expansionary and corrupt wicb bureaucracy. he will be employed as long as his luck holds and he remains subservient enough for the needs of whoever runs the monster called the wicb
