Pressure growing on Windies to storm back against SA

WEST INDIES and South Africa square off in the final Test in St. John’s yesterday with the two camps in contrasting moods.

While all appears rosy in the South Africa garden, the Windies are in the midst of another crisis, 2-0 down with just one game to play and a number of question marks hanging over certain players.

Brian Lara aside, the hosts have been below-par and even recently-appointed fitness trainer Bryce Cavanagh joined the chorus of condemnation following the third Test defeat in Bridgetown. After putting the players through a vigorous fitness test, the Australian said: “When they run and when they move they don’t move very efficiently. They were very floppy. Their hips moved, their legs moved. They were all over the shop when they were trying to run.
