The cricket conditions simulator is satisfying to cricketers, coaches and administrators. The cricket conditions simulator is easy to construct.

MISCELLNEOUS
This tool was invented by a West Indian to assist in the improvement of West Indies cricket, simply because if WI players are not exposed or do not have the means to acquire the exposure to other cricket playing environments on a consistent manner, then we can bring ANY non West Indian cricket playing environment to the Caribbean, so they can PRACTICE.
It is my firm opinion this simulator can turn around WI cricket in 1 year, given that we need to bring Science to our cricket. Not what is done in any other country, but, create structured solutions, with the capability of sustainability to alleviate our WI cricket problems.
Even though our retired WI cricketers are not scientists, we need their intellect, but, more so their experience as INPUT, so that we can utilize their knowledge with the applied science. This is a direct, structural and functional attempt as a WI community to utilize their GOD given skills, in an organized structured opportunity, until they die. To us West Indians, Cricket is not only a game, but a permanently ingrained entity in our neurological wiring.
Think about the simulator as a surgeon’s operating room. It can be utilized 24 hours per day, So if Sirs Everton, Vivian or Garfield or R. Richardson want to schedule a batting session under CHANGING pitch and atmospheric British or NZ conditions at 8:00pm or 11:00pm or 2:30am or 5:00am they may indulge. The same for bowlers Andy Roberts, C. Croft, C. Ambrose, M. Holding, C. Walsh and others, as regards speed bowling. D. Murray for wicketkeeping, D. Haynes and others for opening batting and L. Gibbs (spin).
This simulator would provide an opportunity for work for ALL RETIRED WI players.
It is also my firm opinion if West Indian Cricketers practice to bowl, bat, field and schooled with critical thinking skills etc, (all can be taught) within the simulator, then they will be more prepared to adapt to any cricketing conditions.
