Dryson slams Grace Road pitch

West Indies cricket coach John Dyson has slammed the condition of the Grace Road pitch for the Caribbean Side opening match of their tour of England against Leicestershire.



Fourteen wickets fell on yesterday’s opening day, which saw West Indies closing on 80 for four after Leicestershire had made 182 in their first innings.



Dyson says the pitch is poor as too many balls rolled along the ground.



Following the match, West Indies will have two more tour games against Essex and England Lions, before the first Test at Lord’s, starting on May 6.



The second and final Test of the series is due to start at Durham’s Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street on May 14.
