BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC):

John Dyson has unfinished business with the West Indies which he intends to complete before considering another coaching position in international cricket.

Nearly two weeks ago, media reports in Britain emerged that the West Indies coach was linked to the vacant England job.

"If West Indies want me, I'll stay here in the West Indies," he said. "I am more than happy to stay in the West Indies. The job has not been done yet.

Dyson was contracted to the post of West Indies coach two years ago to replace fellow Australian Bennett King.

Improved ranking

Under his guidance, West Indies have been transformed into a more competitive outfit, winning three Tests, losing five and drawing seven, and have climbed one notch up the world Test rankings table to seventh.

But West Indies have only won eight one-day internationals and lost 17 of the 20 they have contested under him and remain in the eighth position in the world ODI rankings table.

"I came here and I have started a job and I have not completed that job as far as I am concerned," he said. "I think we have made some wonderful progress, so I am happy to stay in the West Indies."

Dyson was philosophical about his side's nine-wicket defeat under the Duckworth-Lewis Method in the fourth ODI on Sunday at Kensington Oval.

A two-hour rain delay left England with the modest target of 135 from 20 overs and they got them with nine balls to spare after West Indies had recovered to reach 239 for nine from their allocation of 50 overs.

"I am not too disappointed by the result," he said. "It would have been nice to play a full 50 over-a-side match in which we did well to recover in our innings to get the total with which we ended up."

He added: "Once the rain hit, it either had to stay awhile or it was going to be a problem. To chase that score, if you bat sensibly, you should get them."
