Let Us Never Lose Reason for Optimism Moments of Joy Provided by the West Indies Cricket Team Have Not Been a Prominent Commodity Over the Past Two Decades INSIDEINSIDEEDITORIALA2 TODAYA2 TODAY2 Page 2 Wednesday, August 30, 2017 Page 2 TODAY’S EDITORIAL Let us never lose reason for optimism Moments of joy provided by the West Indies cricket team have not been a prominent commodity over the past two decades. Indeed, most of the satisfaction provided by our regional side has come in the shortest format of the game - Twen- ty20 cricket. But West Indian cricketing purists brought up on the achievements of George Headley, Sir Garfield Sobers, Malcolm Marshall, Sir Vivian Richards and several TODAY IN BARBADOS other greats, will remain adamant that the true measure of excellence is Test crick- et.

Caribbean voices have attempted to offer words of advice and encouragement but “Please be assured that my Government and the people of Barbados are keeping you and all of those many have taken the easier route of harsh criticisms, often bordering on the insular. directly affected in our thoughts and prayers as you continue to make a valiant effort to overcome the Callers for the return of so-called senior players have conveniently ignored that unprecedented challenge with which you are confronted.” (BGIS) with the singular exception of Christopher Henry Gayle, not one current “senior player” outside the team has a Test record above mediocre. This is not to say that within the context of overall Test performances over the past two decades, that criticism of the West Indies team has not been merited. TODAY’S CONTACTS However, the current crop of West Indies Test cricketers is relatively new to the international game and must be given time to develop; or not develop.
