Director of cricket, Jimmy Adams, has hinted at a worrying deficiency among West Indies batsmen in playing high quality fast bowling, and believes the solutions lie at the domestic first class level where there were not enough “hard, true” pitches to properly prepare players for the demands of international cricket.Conceding the home side’s batsmen did “not fire at all” in the just concluded Test series against South Africa in St Lucia, Adams said there was a trend dating several years, where it appeared players were uncomfortable with concentrated fast bowling, which raised questions about not only technique but familiarity with pace.
