Nice 5fer @ the WC against quality batsmen. However, I don't think he will get a game against Pak in the quarterfinal. He hasn't done enough to get a next game with this whacky team selection..

Rampaul has a decent ODI bowling record with a 37 SR , avg of 32, and econ of 5. This is Ramps' first opportunity against a quality teams at the WC. He didn't get a shot to buy some cheap wickets against the minnows.

Mapou... Rampaul can't fullfill his enigma on the bench!

Why was Ramps on the bench while both Russell and Bishoo debut before he gets a bowl?

well If I slip into thinking that makes it seem dat things are normal doh blame mih. I have ever experienced such a sustained period of extreme mal-administration of westindies crcket as began when Julian Hunte ascended to he wcb throne.

this must be what it was like in society when nero fiddled while he apparently let Rome burn to the ground.

Hunte is the president from hell bwoy! Hell. there has been no proper selection since gayle was allowed to pick anbody he wanted, and he picked 9 Yardies.

if gayle runs into trouble now...under pressure in a Sammy-led team, dumped by world T20...all he has to do is remember when it was he who was Huntes favourite wrecking tool, and he wreaked his own havoc on westindies cricket during that hideous window of opportunity.

so with no proper selection how can rampaul play if he is not properly considered?

but it is not rampaul alone who suffer from westindian mal-administration.

I am not worried about any one player who may be sidetracked but the systematic destruction of westindies cricket by a Dottie sociopath and his wrecking crew...and the westindian captains he roped in, and selected, to do his dirty work along the way.

gayle was the first. his current troubles display how foolish gayle actually his, how low his mentally is and his unfitness to lead anything but a yardie club side. gayle never saw further than his lips and mouthpiece. he does not know the world is connected and that people of the same class work together. he does not seem to understand that all it would take to screw him is a phone call from one jefe to another...no matter the skin colours involved... and he is screwed in the whole world.

gayle has no idea that he is a worker, cnsidered a common labourer by people like skunt hunte and all who run world cricket, IPL, whatever. all these people. would band together and support each other against any labourer or labour movement

I called gayle the un-Worrell because of this foolishness on his part!

if gayle had(has) a conception of the westindies as a unit, which is why there is a westindies cricket team that he became the leader of some try to explain what it was to me please

whatever gayles view was(is) cant be much for he clearly not understand society to a level required for him to have been a successful leader, to knit the side together, to rise above sectarianism, to understand the relatonship of the westindian elite to the team and why the wicb functions as it does!

gayle did not have a clue and the fool was horribly used by Hunte who allowed him to do whatever he wanted with the team and to discard him when it all blew up in his face.

hunte has taken back all he gave gayle and more for gale is now a trubcated and declining figure in the game, who will most likely soon be gone from the westindies team and from world cricket alltogether.

Sarwan almost committed his own hari-kari but is back now but for how long in a Sammy regime
which brings me to the point that despite all the labour noise by wipa, the power of the wicb in cricket to do as it pleases with westindian resources remains unchecked by labour and its union.

it seems clear that to alter the situation basically, wipa's movement must break the limits of labour relations, and begin a frontal and comprehensive attack on the wicb and the way westindies crickrt is run

as a union wipa represents a working class interes. such interet as it finds expression in cricket requires a successful representative team, justice for the players, the use of resources in the development of the game in the region.

it is clear that these goals will not be met by the wicb for the wicb as representative of the westindies elites do not see these goals as consistent with their class intersts and so do not see to have the wicb persue them.

as a result there will be a constant war between the players, the public and the wicb as representative of the westindian status quo. this war can end, will end only when the players as representative of the westindian majority or massive, take over westindies cricket and run it in the ineterest of the nation.

in the westindies there can be compromise only when and if the westindian elite becomes a truly national elite, and takes repsonsibility for their own survival into their own hands, based on their success in developing the westindian nation. only when the westindian elite becomes totally dependent on the westindies for their bread,and not on the betrayal of the region to traditional forriners, will the elite find it essetial to compromise with the westindian people in finding ways of national success and prosperity..upon which thier own survival and prosperity would then depend

if the westindian elite refuses to become nationalistic, to work for the westindies and for no one else but the westindies and its people, there can be no compromise.... and the westindian people for their own survival will be forced to remove the elite from power, change the society fundamentally to ensure no future elite arises, and proceed with a horizontal democracy at all costs

that is what cricket is mixed-up in and if the players do not understand it they wil lose all along the way. and they will help in making a pigs breakfast of our game as has in fact been achieved by the wicb, as deliberate policy as I have argued all along the way.

Gayle was the most dunce captain westindies ever had. sarwans leadership was complicated by his Indianess and the duality contained there-in. Shive was another fool who allowed himself to be used by the wicb. and sammy is another patsy who is taken in by the Dottie mafia.

as a player who does not deserve his place sammy is totally beholden to the wicb admin who made him cappo. he must do all they tell him to or they will unmake him.

if sammyis a man of quality he will quickly learn of his manipulation and resign. in doing so he will earn the displeasure of Hunte and companyy but his name will not go down in infamy

wipa can lead a fight for westindis cricket by attacking the wicb from the working class point of view, enlisting the people in the process.

the labour issues will never be resolved properly by the wicb as it is constituted. and in the meantime the wicb will be constantly undermining the players position.

the only way to win is to seek to remove the wicb of restruture it into nationalistic usefulness
