Clive Lloyd .02 cents

Clive Lloyd: 'This guy has been doing well for KKR for three years.

[His action] has been pretty much the same;

what has been found that they ban him ?

Suggesting that corrective measures to his action, if any were needed, should have been

made earlier, Lloyd questioned the timing of Narine's suspension, saying the decision could

be "destroying" to Narine and affect the team's chances on the forthcoming tour of India

and in the World Cup.

Lloyd also questioned the Champions League T20 regulations and procedure, which has

proven to be rather ambiguous .

"Nobody has told us anything. Nobody has written a letter. That is the thing about it.

Something should be said to us. We are left high and dry. All of a sudden, the guy is not

playing in a tournament he has played for the last three years. What are you then saying

about the tournament then? Are you saying that the tournament has probably previously

allowed people who have got bad actions to play?"

KKR move to Bangalore, minus Narine

• While the Kolkata Knight Riders team moved to Bangalore for the Champions League T20 final, Narine remained in Hyderabad. He has been advised to wait for further instructions from the WICB, on whether to join his West Indies team-mates in Mumbai or Kochi or to head back home.

• The Knight Riders management was surprised with the umpires' ruling on Narine, particularly the fact that two days after his faster delivery was reported, his action for several deliveries was termed suspect. However, Venky Mysore, Knight Riders' CEO, said that the franchise would comply with the measures recommended by BCCI, so that Narine can bowl in BCCI-run tournaments like the IPL.

• Mysore said he did not want to question the authority of the umpires. "Those are the rules. We accept that. We will be very supportive of everything that Sunil wants to do," Mysore said. "If WICB reaches out, we are always there to support them. We are going to miss him in the final, but we are there to do everything to support him as we don't want his career to get affected.

• "I have to say the timing is surprising and so is the fact that he was the only one called twice in the tournament. But we will do everything to help him to put this behind him."

I think this is what googs meant when he ays that they fix the matches....why ban the man now when he has done nothing different?

damn right...BCCI making their own rules and rather shady rules to say the least!
