Toby, Toby : Toe Be Do Be Do !

On Monday evening, West Indies batting coach Toby Radford laid out his masterplan to the media
on how his troops could somehow bat their way to victory in Hamilton.

We listened intently - but his best batsmen appeared to have turned a deaf ear.

"This is going to be a stiff ask, but I think we'll want to see lots of things," the affable Toby said.

"It's about individual performances - for us it's the last test match of the year, it's been a long busy year,
some of these players have been on the road for a long period of time, and it's their last opportunity
in test match cricket for a good number of months now - we don't play until four or five months into next year.

"So I'm sure they'll really want to finish the year with a personal milestone or go out on a bang
as well as a team effort."

"I think what we are wanting is a lot of fight and to really show what we can do," Radford said.

Instead, they could only bat 63.5 overs as they were dismissed before tea on day four.

"I'd love to see Kraigg [Brathwaite] and Shai [Hope] do something similar to what they achieved at Headingley
against England a couple of months ago.
Bat long, get a couple of hundreds and show people what we can really do," Radford had said.

Batting coach Toby is a waste, bowling coach Roddy Estwick is worse
Head Coach Stuart Law is out to Lunch
Chief of selector Courtney Browne is a insular skunt

Radford had been asked if his batsmen needed to temper their natural aggression in the test arena
particularly given the match situation where they had two days available.

"Not at all. I think we've got a mix. You've seen Kraigg bat, he can bat all day, bat six or seven hours.
Shai Hope also plays that way." ​

Er, yeah ...

"I think it'll be play hour by hour and session by session, and break it down into manageable bits,"

Radford said the night before Brathwaite and Hope fell within the first hour.

I wud not waste time listening to Tody Radford.

why in the hell wud I do that? I know Toddy is not serious. how can he be working so long for the usurious and exploitative cWI????

the fact that he has held on so long means that he is seen as a company man, one of them, an insider now. the cWI is not constituted to win or produce a winning west indies cricket team. their formula on the other hand is guaranteed t produce a losing team not a winning one

and if anyone is aware of this it would be Toady! I mean Toby!

Tubby is a flim flam man jess like Skameron..and the 'institution' they have built..selling flim flam all the way

Cannot believe this fellah is a Batting Coach....

WEST Indies batting coach Toby Radford believes conditions in New Zealand
have been behind Chris Gayle’s muted performances on tour
but has backed the superstar opener to come good......

FIRE these 3 coaches !
no return for a million $$ US combine salary !
