Skipper of the Guyana Amazon Warriors team Denesh Ramdin commented; I am happy that my batting is paying dividends for the Amazon Warriors this season. Over the last 18 months I have done some work in the nets and I have improved my sharpness and execution of shots to enhance my performance so I am hoping it will continue for the Warriors and we can go all the way to the final again this time in St. Kitts.
Former West Indies player and Coach Roger Harper, who is the Head Coach of the Guyana Amazon Warriors, spoke about the areas of improvement needed for his team. We have areas to improve on and that is in the field. I believe we can be sloppy at times so we need to get this sorted out as well as seeing that we bat deep into the innings. If these two areas can sync together with our bowling attack, we will be more potent moving forward in the tournament.
Jamaica Tallawahs Coach, Mickey Arthur has four wins under his belt in five matches this tournament and is satisfied with the progress saying; I have no complaints about my team. They are like a family of brothers they work hard together and I am truly proud of the progress they have made in the last three to four weeks. I am just going to keep challenging these players because I know we can get better. We have talented players on our team so we are striving for that perfect performance which I believe is coming soon.
The former South Africa and Australia Coach also spoke about the rotation of strike explaining; Progressively we are facing less dot balls and I am pleased we are rotating the strike we have a unit of hard hitting players and that blend of going for the ones and twos can help us to get the better of opponents. We have two more home games and we would like to win them both.
The match starts at 12:00 today and a very keen contest is anticipated.
