BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC):

Cricket legend Sir Vivian Richards believes West Indies should pick an all-out pace attack for the all-important third and final Test against Australia which begins tomorrow at Kensington Oval.

"We will have the conditions that should suit fast bowling - Antigua was not," Sir Vivian told reporters attending a news conference to announce that Johnnie Walker, the world's best-selling brand of Scotch Whiskey, and the West Indies Cricket Board have entered into a sponsorship agreement covering this year's Australia and next year's England home series.

Fast bowling attack

Sir Vivian added: "West Indies have to try and find the best fast bowling attack that is possible and bring back some memories of what it used to be like at Kensington Oval."

Sir Vivian is also very pleased with the work ethic of veteran batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul and he believes this is the reason for his increased success over the last year. Sir Vivian wants the other players in the Windies unit to emulate Chanderpaul's diligence in order for them to be successful.

"When you look at someone like Shivnarine Chanderpaul and his achievements, the time spent at the crease, he must have worked hard to achieve these things," Sir Vivian said. "We are seeing the final product because of the hard work.

Sir Vivian, however, was guarded about the progress the side has made in recent matches.

"We've shown some great strides," he said. "At the end of the day, after making these strides, we can only keep on speaking about potential for so long. There comes a time when you are measured by winning.

"It's hard to say. Temperament sometimes does play a part. Sometimes we make a little progress this year and then for some reason, we take a few strides back the following year."
