Good question Soca....

What is Gibbo doin at the camp, that he didn't see Shilly action was going to be a problem? So, if he is not allowed to play in the remaining test, we have to consider Shilly "unfit". If so, why WI touring with unfit players in this fitness crazy team?

Cozy made wat seems a valid point. short preparation yet the westindies were ready to play as they did and dominated the first test, with 2 debutants, one returning player with all of one test to his name.... and 2 main bowlers with 4 and 8 tests to theirs.

I dont know how yuh cyan fault a coach when the results of his work is what we saw on the field in Lanka.

at the very least the jury still out on Gibbo! were I the judge i would say he has won an extension!

"Gibson is two years into his second spell with England having worked with the team from 2007 to 2010, with South Africa ready to appoint him as their first black head coach ..."
