Summer of Selection Discontent : Tony and Tony !

           

"Our board cannot believe or even fathom the thought process behind the wanton dropping of the most senior,

reliable and dependable West Indies batsman for the past 21 years,"

In the Ramdin case, the response of Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) president Azim Bassarath mirrored the GCB's.

The difference was that there was a twist to the story.
Bassarath was, he said, "very, very disappointed".

He believed Ramdin should have been given the chance of leading West Indies on its upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.

All well and good for it was a view shared by others, not only Trinidadians.

He then raised the spectre of Trinidadian players being "specially targeted because of their alleged role"

in the premature withdrawal of the West Indies team from last year's tour of India :

when Trinidadian Dwayne Bravo was captain and, according to Bassarath,

"some Trinis were leading the charge".

The GCB and TTCB are by no means the first territorial boards to spring to the defense of the imagined mistreatment

of their players.

They somehow regard it as their duty; their real responsibility is the revival of West Indies cricket.

And the odda Tony (Becca) : above was Cozier

He also talked too much, saying silly things like, "taking the positives", "playing with pride", "back to the drawing board"

and "play pressure cricket".    ;D

Well I can't wait for October to come and see how this 'new' West indies team will perform against Sri Lanka. I am hoping for a Sri Lankan whitewash of these loonies.

there is still the puzzling debut of Warrican over the experienced Permaul....
