World Cup 2019: West Indies should learn from 'terrific' Williamson, says Clive Lloyd

The Hindu  

Clive Lloyd says the West Indies should learn the art of adaptability from New Zealand captain Kane Williamson as it fights to avoid World Cup elimination. With hopes of reaching the semifinals fading fast, Lloyd, the captain of the West Indies side that won the World Cup in 1975 and 1979, believes his country should take a leaf out of Williamson’s “masterful” knock. “The West Indies need to raise their game if they are to have a chance against New Zealand at Old Trafford on Saturday,” Lloyd wrote in his column for the International Cricket Council. “The West Indies would benefit from learning a thing or two from Williamson.” West Indies started the tournament by beating Pakistan in their opener but soon lost momentum with defeats against Australia, England and Bangladesh.
