AR: I figured out most of it myself. Fast bowling is a body thing and I realised that if I jumped higher, I would bowl a faster delivery. People would ask why, because you don't deliver the ball while in the air, but it's the momentum that's transferred into the delivery.
SJ: Michael Holding talked about how he developed as a fast bowler and the advice he got when he roomed with you. Do you believe this sharing of knowledge still exists - senior pros taking younger players under their wing?
AR: One of the problems that has happened in the last 20 years is when they introduced single rooms for the players. I have no problems with the senior players in the team getting single rooms because they have earned it. But when you have junior players coming into the team, and some of them are traveling outside the region for the first time, I find it difficult to understand why they do not have someone to share the room with, so that they can communicate with the other person and talk about different things in life. It doesn't mean you have to only talk about cricket. Once they introduced single rooms, I have found that our cricket and our winning habits have decreased. That's because people are now into themselves and they are not accustomed to being with anybody else. That's why there is so much selfishness in West Indies cricket at the moment.
