I'm pretty sure it won't be Greg Chappell, as the night progressess it seems pretty certain that Mr. King will get the job, if he hasn't already.Top_Cat said:Good on the WICB for taking a risk with a non-WI coach. Couldn't have picked a better one too. Greg Chappell much prefers to work with the 'gifted' payers rather than the 'just getting by' players and the WI squad is full of players like that. Let's face it, he was of a similar ilk; a player who led by example rather than pure leadership. He was never one to try to connect with the players like his brother was. Ian was the less naturally gifted player (still an awesome player, though) and was also the big brother for him and Trevor so used that sort of 'big bro' relationship with his players to get the best out of them. Greg was used to being 'the brilliant one' and it showed in his leadership style too. Personally, I think he'll be very successful.
Here's the shocking bit; the reason SA didn't do so well with Greg as coach was because they were LESS disciplined than the WI squad!
Personally I wouldn't have Brian Lara as captain, but then there really is nobody else to lead the side. Sarwan is probably most likely, but I'm not sure he is ready & Jacobs has to worry about his spot. I don't think it would be that bad to give it to Chanderpaul, but he gets injured too often. It could help Dillon's performance (and he could rev the side up when they drop catches off his bowling). I think Lara is the only viable option at the moment.Craig said:Good on them - he is a great choice, not because of the Pura Cup's Queensland won with him being in charge.
My other question is, should Brian Lara still remain captain? I have always shown my support behind him as a player, but I have been critical as him as a captain.
The WICB can justify keeping him on after that win in the CT final over England, but I can't help but think that to the fact Courtney Browne and Ian Bradshaw playing the innings of their international careers.

Or more importantly how the West Indies go.Waughney said:Should be interesting to see how he goes.
Totally ignoring the inspirational efforts he put in in the field and the way he helped lift the level of the West Indies' game of course.Craig said:The WICB can justify keeping him on after that win in the CT final over England, but I can't help but think that to the fact Courtney Browne and Ian Bradshaw playing the innings of their international careers.
I would never give Chanderpaul the captaincy. I don't think he's captaincy material. He's not authoritative enough from my view.Mister Wright said:Personally I wouldn't have Brian Lara as captain, but then there really is nobody else to lead the side.

Mr Mxyzptlk said:Bennett King has made his choice clear. He's endorsed Brian Lara to remain as captain for the time being at least.
