Fresh Hope for Windies after England Tests

AFP, LONDON: Given West Indies' decline as a Test force has been 20 years in the making, it may be unwise to say that Saturday's 2-1 series loss in England means they have “turned a corner”.

“I've heard it so many times and it's always the same old story,” said fast bowling great Michael Holding, a key member of West Indies' all-conquering teams of the mid 1970s and early 1980s.

“Have we turned the corner? We've turned about 40 corners since the year 2000,” added Holding, now a television commentator.
