Jamaica (West Indies), Feb. 9 : England's cricketers who are currently on a tour of the West Indies will need to pull up their socks, and be brutally honest about their latest performance at Jamaica's Sabina Park, a report in The Independent says.

According to the paper, while they must move on, they also need to look back and learn, and quickly.

Jamaica, Feb. 8 : The West Indies handed out a shock innings and 23-run defeat to England in the first Test at Sabina Park on Saturday.

Trailing by 74 runs on the first innings, England collapsed to 51 all out in their second innings, five minutes before the tea break on the penultimate day. It was England''s third lowest total in Tests.

Victory fro the Windies came after England fast bowler Steve Harmison was bowled trying to sweep a delivery from spinner Suleiman Benn.

Jamaica (West Indies), Feb. 5 : The loss of the England cricket team's captaincy appears not to have dented Kevin Pietersen's form with the bat. KP scored a punishing 97 before falling to Windies spinner Sulieman Benn in the first Test between the two sides.

Pietersen struck Benn for four, four and six in three successive deliveries when he lined up another big blow. This time, however, the ball skied straight up in the air and he was already walking off when it nestled in wicketkeeper Dinesh Ramdin's gloves.

Pietersen had scored more than half of the runs when he was out, so it is impossible to be too critical.

Jamaica (West Indies), Feb. 3 : England all rounder Andrew Flintoff has known for several years of Andrew Strauss' burning ambition to become England captain.

Freddie believes that it is now vital that the calm and calculated Strauss builds a strong rapport with the team and win the series against the Windies.

Jamaica (West Indies), Feb. 2 : England fast bowler Steve Harmison has said that he will try his level best to make the grade for the first England-West Indies Test to be played here from Wednesday.

The Sabina Park is where Harmison skittled the Windies for just 47 with an astonishing second-innings blitz of 7-12 five years ago.

That performance helped propel him to the position of world's No1 ranked bowler later in 2004 - but he has trod a rocky path since then.

He admitted: "I can't put my finger on why some days it clicks and others it doesn't. I'd be a rich man if I could tell you.

Jamaica (West Indies), Jan. 31 : West Indies skipper Chris Gayle is generally regarded as cricket's coolest dude, but is a seriously dangerous customer on the field.

Gayle, 29, puts his success down to having in-depth conversations with himself.
