Crofty livin' in Titty too long.  it stating to rub off ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

man love bacchanal.  when he not beatin' he wife he pikin fight over shive ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

He could be in the top 10 but have another West Indian ranked higher.

Whilst that seems highly improbable, my issue is seeing a very good player play on longer than he should.

Against NZ, Shiv showed signs of losing his way and whilst I hope it is temporary, I am mindful of his age. Even with Derby he is not really doing that well and that too is a concern.

Shiv is still the backbone of this team and I expect him to carry on for now.

I recognise your right to be a Shiv ubafan but the way you promote Tiger enforces the issue of selfishness etc.

However let us wish him the very best.

Mail:

* Selfishness is viewed as a virtue by the rich and by the successful.

* Only losers and failures and folks who are downright mediocre condemn and criticize what they perceive to be selfishness in others.

* One can never get to the top of one's profession without being selfish.

* Shiv's profession is being a cricketer----he is currently ranked #4 in the world----sure he has slowed down---but he is still among the best in the world----so why should he retire ?

I always wondered about this selfishPaul bizness!

selfishness has always been a puzzle to me.  what the hell people talking about when they say selfish ::confused::

I doh know nobody who not blastid selfish.. in the most nasty ways too boot.  yet these very same people always pointing deh fingah!  people are the most awful forms of life in existence. the most hypocrite

we are all born subjective.  given the world we meet and how we are configured how in the hell can that be different ::confused:: 

you cant even survive if you not subjective far less to be adult and selfish

its how you do it that is the problem.  and to compound the issue we live by a system that is zero sum:

life, society... is totally based on the basic principle by which we live at any time...man is gregarious and live in social groups...and it dominates all aspects of life. 

we live by capitalism and its devil take the hindmost.  capitalism  sports a view of life to say the least that is hypocritical and horrendously greedy and murderous.  the end becomes material possession which can only be gained at the expense of others while ruining the social and biological environment.

it is the narrow view and expression of subjectivity/sefishness central to capitalist life that is the problem.  when people express their self interest dominated by zero sum reality, it results in the nastiness of life that is general..that has brought humanity to the brink.  as suchselfishness/subjectivity is a real problem when it is exprrssive of such evil

if capitalism changes to democracy the operative principle changes to cooperative/cooperation in the survival and development of the instrument by which humans live..SOCIETY!  the opposite of zero sum..which is the the full and maximum exploitation of humanity and society as it is now. 

then subjectivity would take on the opposite perspective..people would understand their survival depended on the survival of society, as it does now, in zero sum capitalism... and not the, the other way around.  so as society and its well being guarantees human survival then it is in every one's interest to work for society ..for social survival

yet still all starts from the I, me.  I must look after myself for if I do not I will fail regardless of the principle upon which society functions.  subjectivity is a built factor of existence one we are born individual, separate, ignorant, naked, hungry.. we are therefore competitive for food among much else.  the only way we can lose the competitiveness and its consequences is when we arrive at a stage at which we can guarantee survival for all and we make the system that can deliver that..democracy

if shive protects his wicket with his life it is even more critical that he does so in zero sum society, which has put a premium on survival in such competitive manner... because you can be sure that other batsmen are doing the same..would do what shive does in any way they can regardless of their propensity to point their own fingah in accusation of  of others of selfishness.

deh will run yuh rass out in selfishness and then call you selfish ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

it is only when the other batsman learns to think and bat in the collective interest should shive relax...because people, including batsmen... can only learn to think like that in democracy or collective society..not in zero sum society.  so if the society changes and produces him to think like that then no problem at the wickets..or in not outs. the man love he wicket and never want to lose it

in the meantime it is not what man say but what man do.
