Head Coach of the Guyana Amazon Warriors, Roger Harper said on Tuesday there is no need to panic following the team’s five-wicket defeat to St Lucia Zouks in the Limacol Caribbean Premier League at the Guyana National Stadium on Sunday.
The former West Indies coach reminded that the Warriors had been outstanding in the first two games, and is adamant the team will lift their spirits in time for Friday’s game.
“Since we’ve been playing some good cricket at the start of the tournament, we won’t let one game dampen the spirit of the boys. We have put it behind us and come Friday we will go out and play good cricket,” Harper said.
The Warriors began the tournament with a crushing 19-run win over the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steels before thrashing the Jamaica Tallawahs by eight wickets. However, they were overpowered by the St Lucia Zouks on Sunday.
Reflecting on Sunday’s game Harper said, “I think the Zouks played really well. It was an off day for us and we have put it behind us and are looking forward to getting back to our winning ways.”
Meanwhile, the 50-year-old Harper is confident that his players will respond positively from Sunday’s disappointment, adding that the team has the ability to regroup and rebound.
“We have a group of players who are hungry for success, so I have that confidence that the team will rebound,” said Harper.
