West Indies who have lost much of their power and glory in cricket have turned to one of their legends Desmond Haynes, to become a batting consultant for the current side.The West Indies Cricket Board announced on Tuesday that Haynes will work with Darren Sammy's side for the duration of the home series against Pakistan and India before it undertakes a search for a long-term batting coach.Haynes' arrival comes on the heels of a disappointing World Cup, following which coach Ottis Gibson placed heavy blame on the senior batsmen in particular, and made an urgent request for expertise to be brought on board. Haynes response was positive. Hayens said in aWICB media release announcing his appointment that he always wanted to be involved in West Indies cricket, and help get the team back to the halcyon days.Haynes was one half of the famous opening pair, along with compatriot Gordon Greenidge, which served West Indies successfully during the glory years between the late 1970s and the 1980s.
