Appoint him the Captaincy and also give him the power to pick 20 players of his choice to be the west indies team.. even if he pick 6 trini , i got no issue with that. give him the control and lets see how it goes,, and don't tell me this is crazy beacuse in the t20 chapionship he and the trini squad really represent ,,, can't wait for them to get back there again..
Do you think Ganga will get the support ?

I wun go dat far. yuh wud end with a team dat wud cause more controversy than dis one.

we doh need to any because we know the 20 who are to be selected. and there will be 6 trinis anyway,

a captain like we used to have is enough. he wud have strong say..often the decisive say

the last time a captain was given 'golo' we ended with players on the side like Parchment and findlay...absolute nothing players..

it was a bad example to set and not one to repeat. the traditional captain has a lot of say, often decisve say. but he does not command the house as not even worrell cud do that.

ganga may be a class act but the principle is wrong and shud not be activated

I would like to see Darren Ganga given a chance to lead the WI team. Is there a better national team captain in the region right now?

Yes, Sarwan. Remember the Stanford T20 final ? Sars out captained him meanwhile everyone was praising Ganga...but the tuned changed during the match.

Ganga's decision to give away the single betrays a negative mindset that has tended to be a facet of his captaincy over the years....

I'm not convinced that he should make the side solely because of his leadership skills.
