Trinidad and Tobago opener Adrian Barath is targeting a return to the West Indies side in time for the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Barath says he is hoping to impress the selectors when he plays in the Regional Super50 tournament and the four-day championship, which follows.

The 23-year-old Barath says he has done a lot of work on his game and is looking forward to get back into the West Indies team.

In 2009 the right-handed opener had an amazing Test debut in Australia, where he made a blazing century in his second Test innings at the Gabba.

Barath spent last year at the Sagicor High Performance Centre where he made some changes to his game.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I think this young man is part of the batting solution so I wish him well and hope he and Brathwaite can open the test innings soon. Powell can bat at 5 or 6.

I dont like coaches very much googs.  m case is that they are not needed in charge of any dam thing.

so when batsmen fails I am loathe to blame them..especially a batsman who has arrived at the top.

when a batsmen arrives at the top he is a finished product, professional and responsible for himself.  at that point he is supposed to USE coaches not need them to do his bating fuh him.

the process and content of his professionalism may or may not require that.

its like this:  the opposition will study out all the batsmen deh have to face and work them out, discover their weakness and plan how to get them out.  this is a constant all batsmen have to deal with.  the batsmen in turn working on their craft will develop the means of skill and emotion, brains to cope and dominate.  if they discover their own chinks and what others have planned for them they can call up a coach and work with him, use him to make technical and style corrections, attitude and appraoch etc to keep themselves on top

that is the responsibility of a test batsman..to know his trade which involves all his competition and what he has to do to make the best living he can at it.  the coach,  the psychologist all become tools to use as it is necessary to be successful

that is where Barath failed.  he is very good Barath,  he scored early.  then his ego got the better of him, his early success and wealth.. and he forgot the work and dedication he put in to get there and the volumes more of the same it would take to stay there.

that was his problem.  if he got over it and come back to hard work, dedication and understanding he may get back in and go on well.  west indies need him in that way

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now.
