"The past is history."
So proclaims Lendl Simmons' status on WhatsApp.
The man talks about why he can't see a future for himself in the West Indies side
as long as selection depends on playing domestic cricket :-[

"It's just foolish," Simmons says.
"We are available to play but we are not being picked. It's just a stupid rule that they have.
Unless that rule changes, no one will play for the West Indies, because I don't think anyone
is going to give up franchise cricket to play regionals when the fees are not suitable enough.
A lot of other teams' players don't play in their domestic but still play for their country.
This is not the same for us, but such is life..

Simmons is unashamed about the path he has chosen.
Injuries have rendered him unable to play Tests
- [size=1em]he never even scored a half-century during an eight-match career [/size]
that ended five years ago - and he has not played an ODI, or even a List A match,
since the World Cup.

That point is now over used, tiring and becoming a cliche !
Pybus says it is the Policy manual.
It is up to the Players to LOBBY the Regional Board to TOSS the rule out !
Why is this sooooo difficult to comprehend ??? :-\

West Indies have always relied on foreign leagues
- traditionally county and club cricket in England - to FUND their players.
Garry Sobers once almost missed an international to play an English club match,
because it was more lucrative.
The T20 globetrotting of Simmons and Co is new.
But it is also entirely in keeping with West Indies' past. .

Chairman dont care !
Chin just approaches this Forum as though a strong sh!t holding her :
Runs here in the mawning, do not look Left nor Right
settles on her Latrine seat and Let it RIP : I doubt whether she wipes her ass !
pulls up her panty and heads to work...Then repeats the process following mawning !!!
even when she is told about her Duplicate threads, that DUMP controls her .
C'est La Vie.
