I would like to see us get it sorted from all angles,&rdquo; Haynes was quoted as saying by the Barbados Today online newspaper Friday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&ldquo;I would hope that we as a people would not look at a blaming game, but look at trying to find solutions.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The Barbadian finished his career with 7487 runs from 116 Tests and 8648 runs from 238 One-Day Internationals.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">He is regarded as one of the finest openers to have played the game in either format.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Haynes, who recently served as a batting consultant to the West Indies team, said the regional side could return to the top of world cricket but warned the process would be a long one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&ldquo;I would like to see us back on top most definitely, number one in the world but it&rsquo;s going to take some time,&rdquo; Haynes acknowledged.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">West Indies players, the WICB and players union, WIPA, have been locked in a dispute ever since the one-day players abruptly quit the tour of India last month over a contracts row.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">A definitive resolution to the crisis is yet to be announced.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
