Henderson Winfield Da Costa Springer (born 27 April 1964, Bishops Hill, St Lucy, Barbados) was a Barbadian cricketer. (wikipedia)
It is always a blow to lose a person like Dwayne Smith who can strike the ball so well and is also worth something with the ball and in the field.
We want to try and get our mental game right. That is shortcoming in Barbados' cricket - the way we prepare ourselves mentally and our general attitude going into first-class games.
I'm hopeful that most of the players would have been honing their skills at home with practice sessions or playing in their domestic seasons. So it is just a matter of showing up and displaying their skills.
We have got a lot of experience in players who have been lucky enough to play test cricket and have been around our first-class setup for sometime, and a lot of youngsters who are looking to create an impression.
