good timing. he is on top. just went deep enuff into the club T20 championships to bring home some money. reached the regional final and took home second place
its the absolute right time for G to go and he made the decision. dat too will stand him good in time.
it was also tactical for ganga to go...and he shud have retired from the team period. Ganga had begun to voice opinions that are bound to get him into trouble. he has dsipleased me at least. and any who see the westindies as a natural nation would also be disappointd with Gangas opinion on this most important issue.
more and more Ganga would come into negative contact on issues. as well as wearing out his welcome by staying too long would have been a terrible thing. best to go just before ones time is done, before it becomes too late and one gets pushed.
and Ganga has a beautiful wife, recently married. time to pay plenty attention to the base!
snmrt man dat Ganga. good decison! good show but its time to go!
who will repalce Ganga..Dwayne B...Ramdin? I vote for Eamdin. he is a better leader than Bravo based on wat we have seen so far.

Yes, it was probably the right thing to do at this time....
His form in the limited overs formats was not good, so Trinidad need a new captain in that arena. But there's no doubting his class in the four-day game, which is far superior to any of the inexperienced youngsters currently struggling with the bat in the A team.
It's a pity that the WICB didn't utilise his experience by appointing Ganga captain of the A team, when Bravo pulled out with injury....
I mean, Permaul as captain...please!

I wud not have gone back to Ganga for the A team..although that idea is not without merit!
but it is time for Ganga to go and he knew it. there was a banana peel below Gangas heel he wud soon start to sliide on, undoing all his previous success.
he saw the peel, moved his foot and walked away leaving all his success intact. smart sensitive man who sensed the right time to go and took it.
westindies shud be preparing a cappo to take over ultimately. has such an individual(s) been identified yet and their preparation set in place? is Permaul one such individual?
such an indivudal could be leading the A team. maybe he is
