 New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori has given the West Indies Under-19 cricketers a major pep talk before their ICC Under-19 World Cup campaign.
The West Indies Under-19s arrived in New Zealand on Sunday and later in the evening visited the North Districts ground where they witnessed a Twenty20 match between Otago and Northern Districts.
West Indies team manager Omar Khan said Vettori addressed the Caribbean players after the match and encouraged them to embrace the opportunity to participate in a world level event.
"Vettori and Brendon McCullum were both involved in the match and the West Indies players met with them at the end of the game," Khan said. |

 Monster-hitter Kieron Pollard and high-flying pacer Kemar Roach are the two big picks among the eight West Indian names on the auction block for IPL 3.
Pollard can be confident of one of the eight IPL franchises expending a significant amount of money to secure his services. Pollard blasted a match winning half century for Trinidad and Tobago against the New South Wales Blues in the Champions League and was immediately branded by IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi as ‘the pick’ for the auction. The Barbadian pacer who recently impressed in Australia with his blistering and deceptive pace is also sure to secure a substantial deal when the auction is held on January 19th. |

 Big-hitting star of the South Australia Redbacks’ opening game against Western Australia Warriors in the KFC Big Bash did not fire against the Queensland Bulls but still ended up on the winning side at the Adelaide Oval.
The Bulls batted first and made 156 for 4 in 20 overs with 63 from opener James Hopes who hit six fours and a six in his 45 ball innings. Pollard delivered just one over for 10 runs and picked up the wicket of Nick Reardon as the other overseas player – Shahid Afridi – was economical with 1 for 25 from 4 overs.
Mark Cosgrove struck 43 from 40 balls as he led the Redbacks run-chase, ending on 160 for 6 with an over to spare. Pollard managed just 9 from seven deliveries before getting out to Chris Simpson at 126 for 5. |

 Coach Andre Coley has praised the quality of the West Indies Under-19 side and has backed them to perform well at the upcoming ICC Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand.
’Overall we have a very good all-round team. We have players with the ability to perform at this level and win matches,’ Coley said, prior to the team’s departure for the tournament on Thursday. ’The main strength of this side, however, is the team unity and self-belief. The players play for each other and they are a mentally strong group of young men. I am satisfied with mental approach--the way they approach the game and the way they approach pressure situations. |

Former West Indies fast bowling legend Andy Roberts has heaped criticism on members of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for their administration of cricket in the region. Just as in his heyday, Roberts was fiery and called for the directors of the board to explain why no money is spent on grassroots cricket. He said: “To get our cricket back up to a certain standard that is acceptable, members of the WICB need to focus on grassroots cricket. All they do is organise tournaments and this is just a waste of time. What should be their priority is what is happening in places like Westmoorland in Jamaica, Bethel in Antigua and Toco in T&T, but they are not interested in that.” |
