As the West Indies side arrives in Trinidad ahead of their series opener against Zimbabwe on Sunday, newly appointed head coach Ottis Gibson is taking a fresh look at fitness. In a report in the Jamaica Observer he says "The physical aspect of all sports determines whether an athlete will be successful or not. It is key as far as I'm concerned".

Apparently there are other keys too. In an article on CricInfo Gibson also says "the key is unity and strength and it always has been. During the 1980s and 1990s when West Indies were strong, I'm sure there were differences within the team, but the players pulled together and Clive Lloyd, way back in the 80s, was able to get them to come together for a common cause."
