- Had made himself available for CLT20

Former world number one Test batsman, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, has slammed the “ attitude and discipline” of local players, stating that their inadequacies will ultimately affect their cricket development and the country’s image on the regional and international stage.

He also told this publication during an exclusive interview yesterday at the GCC ground, Bourda, that he had made himself available to represent Guyana in the just concluded Airtel Champions League T20 competition in South Africa, but for some reason was not selected.

The 36- year- old left- hander, who has built his career on discipline, commitment, and dedication, noted that much of that is lacking in the younger players these days.

He made specific reference to last Thursday where some members of the Demerara squad preparing to participate in this weekend’s senior Inter- county, 50- over competition turned up almost halfway through a net session.

I think Shiv should forget about 20/20 cricket, and focus on leaving a legacy in the longer forms of the game....

Why did he opt out of regional T20 Cricket? How come he had expressed his availability only for the CLT20 Tourney?

The Shivster is royally pissed and rightly so. Here is a man who came from an era when only the best of the best made the Guyana team and even fewer made the West Indies team.

Now both the Guyana and West Indies team are filled with rank shytehounds who can't even carry this man's shoelaces but think they're better than him. Cuss dem rass out Shiv!! :evil:
