WI coach blasts seniors for WC exit

West Indies coach Ottis Gibson lashed out at his senior players for their inconsistency and warned them their international futures were in danger after the former champions crashed out of the World Cup, reports AFP. Gibson pulled no punches after the West Indies were shot out for 112 during Pakistan's 10-wicket romp in Wednesday's quarter-final, saying the seniors needed to buck up or face the axe. "We are very very disappointed with our performance," the coach said. "It's a fact that our senior players have not performed. When the going got tough we did not stand up to it. "It comes down to individuals taking responsibility and having belief in themselves. Ultimately it comes down to performance, that's what matters in sport.
