**** Ramdin's Captaincy ****

Ramdin's captaincy is the best thing to happen to WI cricket of late.  He will get better with time.  I hope he gets a strong voice in picking his team.

* The captain is now involved in picking the final 11.

* The selectors made a wise move in dropping Samuels and Powell.

* If Ramdin were to win the NZ series, his stock will be soaring.

* The test for Ramdin and the WI will be the away series versus South Africa.

I am not that old Rev.  I did not have to be old to know about Gibbs in 1962.  I was a kid with a cricket addiction
