Bermuda head coach David Moore believes West Indies’ World Twenty20 triumph can be a “small step” in sparking a revival in Caribbean cricket.The former West Indies coach was thrilled to see Darren Sammy’s side defeat hosts Sri Lanka at the weekend to lift their first major trophy since the ICC Champions Trophy in 2004.Having worked with the majority of those players who etched their names into Windies folklore, including inspirational skipper Sammy, Moore said he wasn’t surprised by their comfortable victory.“I think it was wonderful for the players, wonderful for the coaching staff and great for cricket in the Caribbean I thought they thoroughly deserved it,” said the ex-New South Wales player.“Even though they got beat by Australia on the Duckworth and Lewis-method, I thought (the West Indies) were the best team throughout the tournament.“They have some wonderful players completely suitable to the game of Twenty20 cricket.”Sammy, the first St Lucian to captain the Windies, made his Test debut under Moore, taking seven wickets for 66 runs against England.And despite the raising of eyebrows when Sammy was named West Indies skipper almost two years ago, Moore never doubted the tall all-rounder’s talent or leadership qualities.“People were always questioning whether Darren Sammy was good enough to play international cricket but as far as I’m concerned he’s got stuff that money can’t buy: passion, commitment, a love of the Caribbean and the Caribbean people,” said Moore, who was appointed Bermuda coach in 2010.“To me he’s a good leader, someone people gravitate towards, he doesn’t have any bias and just wants to do the best he can for West Indies cricket.“I suppose I’ve worked with the majority of the squad, but cricket’s such a dynamic game things change quickly and they will have had different influences throughout.”Most encouragingly for Moore is the West Indies Cricket Board and certain key players appearing to have put their much-publicised off-field problems behind them.The affable Australian has, however, warned against comparisons being made between Sammy’s T20 heroes and the great West Indies teams of yesteryear.“Of course, they have had their troubles over the years with a variety of issues and hopefully now it seems like there’s great team spirit,” said the 47-year-old.“Obviously the West Indies Cricket Board is on the right track by having their High Performance Centre and they’re reaping the rewards of being able to unify cricket within the Caribbean.“It’s a small step, you can never get carried away with talk of returns to greatness and it’s going to be a long process.“They have always been ebbs and flows to West Indies cricket. They won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2004 and were in the final against Australia when I was there in 2007 we always knew they had some fine cricketers.“That Chris Gayle thanked the management staff after the game shows that everyone’s on the same page and relatively happy at the moment.”Moore now hopes West Indies can take their T20 form into the Test arena as he is adamant that truly great players should be able to excel at both forms of the game.“I still think West Indies’ best players will play both formats. Chris Gayle has proved himself as a wonderful T20 player, but has also got two triple centuries in Test cricket so he certainly can adapt. I think the majority of those guys could certainly play Test cricket very well if given the opportunity.”A staunch cricketing traditionalist, Moore shudders of the thought of the crash, bang, wallop of T20 replacing Test cricket in importance, although he acknowledges the shorter version’s ability to attract a larger audience.“I’d hate to see (T20 replace Test cricket), I think there’s a reason they call it Test cricket; it’s a test of so many things like technical skills, physical ability and mental toughness to play over five days.”“T20 is certainly developing a new audience and bringing new cricket lovers to the game.“I’d like to think all three forms of cricket can coexist because I still think the 50-over game is also a good way to judge a World Cup.“There are so many variables to T20 and the shorter the game the closer it brings all of the teams together.“It some ways it gives some of the weaker countries a chance to get closer to the higher ranked countries.”
