Williams: Positive signs from Guyana games Despite their eight-run loss to Guyana at Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday, Trinidad and Tobago coach David Williams is still seeing positive signs coming out of the trip. T&T are currently preparing for the Champions League Twenty20 in India which starts on September 17 and have at least four more matches lined up before they leave for India on September 16, including two against the Windward Islands in Dominica this weekend. Darren Bravo and Sunil Narine will both be part of the T&T squad for those matches after being rested for the trip to Guyana… “In the second game we faltered a bit in the batting and the death bowling. It was not as good as it should have been but all in all it was good performance,” said Williams. “After losing three wickets for four runs, we came back well to post a good total but we did rest some of our key players,” he explained. “Lendl Simmons, Samuel Badree, Ravi Rampaul and Yannick Ottley did not play the second game so it was not the strongest team but in the circumstances we wanted to give the other players a run so all in all I am happy with the two games. I think we played two very good competitive games,” the coach added… “We now head to Dominica for two more competitive games. We are always trying to find the right combination and these matches will help us to do that before we get to India,” said Williams. “Narine and Bravo are back in the team and that will strengthen the squad also. Lendl Simmons is not going to Dominica but we still have a very good team. “We want to make sure we have the right combination and we want the guys running into good form when we head to India. “That is the key and we have guys who have been doing very well,” he concluded. T&T leave for Dominica on Thursday with matches scheduled for Friday and Saturday…
