West Indies coach Bennett King talks tough
What is it with Australia sending all their best coaches overseas to turn struggling teams into outfits that, well, beat us. Rod Marsh (and probably more significantly, their bowling coach Troy Cooley) helped transformed England into Ashes winners. It may be premature but a Greg Chappell coached India seem to be going through a bit of a renaissance right now (although that could be due to Ganguly dropped and Tendulkar in white-hot form). Could a third case be Queenslander Bennett King and the West Indies? We'll know more clearly next week but there are promising signs in the current warm-up game against Queensland as our test batsmen fell cheaply and our bowlers got caned. I seem to remember the Windies getting thrashed in warm-up games in previous tours (recent ones, not from the Clive Lloyd days). Meanwhile, India Times have published an article where Bennett King sounds a warning to the Aussies. He talks up their new stable of bowlers and considering how frail our batting order seems at the moment against sustained fast bowling, it will be interesting to see how our boys face this challenge.
