[size=18pt]BCCI TO REVIEW WI PLAYERS PARTICIPATION IN IPL

[/size]New Delhi: The BCCI is seriously contemplating reviewing the West Indies players' participation in the cash-rich Indian Premier League as the ongoing series ended abruptly on Friday due to visiting team's payment dispute with their own cricket Board.

So miffed are the BCCI officials with the attitude of the Caribbean players that some hard actions can't be ruled out as far as their playing in IPL is concerned.

"The matter is likely to be raised at IPL governing council meeting where the issue will come up for serious discussions. Some of the members of Board's top brass want to ban the Windies players for at least one season," a senior BCCI functionary told PTI on Friday.

Bravo and Chennai ollard and Smith with Mumbai , Russel  et al .

This action was expected !

I think my Favourite (among all current playing non Pakistanis) Kumar is gonna get their first. Shiv was favourite if the Indian tour had not been canceled but now, I don't think he would score that high in South Africa, so I'm going with Sanga, the run machine.

Well yes,but Kumar is way ahead of him and he is literally a run machine,Shiv too will get to it,but later on.
sanga might even get to the 13K ahead of him.

Sangakarra will get there first for sure because he is alot closer but also Chanderpaul plays so reserved that its gonna take him a little while. It will be good when he finally gets there though.

[size=14pt]* Given the current disaster and calamity in West Indies cricket, it will be a miracle if 40 year old Chanderpaul plays another test match.[/size]



* Let's hope that is true. But I am not optimistic.
