this is what man next door with a pipe line he say have into the wicb say:
Quote:Was fecking fuming about Blackwood getting dropped and just got a text from my link.."gibbo and dem was very concerned about the ninth wicket partnership NZ had in the last game..and even though tiredness played a role the selectors and coaches felt the attack had simply ran out of ideas and things needed changing, so they've decided to roll the dice and go for it".
That's the reason i've been given..lets hope it pays off.
but all dat does is expose Gibbo incompetence even more.
what went wrong in the last test was tactical, mental, cerebral. Ramdin and dem did not know what to do...or morel like Gibson did not know what to do when the Kiwi tail held out. allyuh see: If Gibson is the head coach he is the brains of the team on and off the field and must take responsibility for mental failure.
you cant undercut the captain by bringing in a head coach, give him all the power them blame the coach for tactical failings. and Gibson has not conceded any of his power to Ramdin. and Ramdin is a neophyte it is unclear whether he has any power at all. it is clear to me that he will have to fight for any power he eventually gets as captain..as long as they keep hiring head coaches.
anyway..Instead of analysis, assessment, developing understanding of the Kiwi and west indies powers to work out ways to get them out..all 10 of them..Gibson resorts for distorting the balance of the team. the solution does not reside in 5 bowlers but in 4... backed by the necessary tactical skills, plans and efficient play on the field to get the job done
that's a perfect measure of ow incompetent Gibson actually is
