As a former Barbados Under-19 captain, West Indies Youth and Barbados senior player, Dave ‘Chief’ Cumberbatch holds cricket dear to his heart and wants to see the men in maroon who were once formidable from the late 1970s to early 1990s, return to the zenith of world cricket.Cumberbatch, an Attorney-at-law and a former left-arm spin bowler, said the West Indies recent performance against South Africa exposed regional batsmen’s inability to handle fast bowling. “I am not bashing the players, but this is from my heart. I want to see West Indies cricket return to the pinnacle of world cricket. I want to see it return to its rightful place. It is the administration of our cricket really that has dropped the ball in this regard.
