Windies manager dismisses former coach’s criticism

West Indies Manager, Joel Garner has dismissed recent criticisms leveled at the Caribbean side by Former Coach, John Dyson.



Dyson last weekend gave the Windies little hope in their three-Test series against Australia, contending they were ill prepared for the tour.



Fired in August after a second string, Windies side was mauled by Bangladesh, Dyson said the Caribbean side was in no shape to face the World champions especially following the contracts dispute that kept the best players out of action.



However, Garner, who captured 259 wickets from 58 Tests in his playing days, backed the team to do well in the series once they remained focused.



Garner said once the players settle down quickly and are disciplined they will do well.



West Indies face Australia in the first Test starting on November 26 at the Gabba and will play subsequent Tests in Adelaide and Perth in December.
