Cricket: England back on home turf

Peter Moores, the new England cricket team coach, is focusing on winning back the reputation of the team and the First test against West Indies on Thursday.

The game will be played on home turf, and the team has a real chance to win back respect lost at the poor performance at the World Cup. Moores, who was previously in charge of the England Academy, has taken over from Fletcher, who was at the helm for eight years.

The players expressed eagerness to prove themselves to the new coach and are confident in an upcoming long winning streak. "The guys have been buzzing around in fielding practice and are keen to get out there and do that on the pitch as well", stand-in skipper Andrew Strauss was quoted saying.
