(Reuters) - West Indies coach Phil Simmons believes their third test win over England can be the foundation for better things for Caribbean cricket, but warns next month’s tests against Australia represent a sterner examination of his team.

Trinidadian Simmons was appointed just before the three test series with England, which was drawn 1-1 after West Indies enjoyed an entertaining win in just three days in Barbados.
