Gibson on the non-selection of Ramnaresh Sarwan:

[BallOil]

Mappy you still didn't answer my questions about Gibbo. Here WICB hired this chap paying him a good salary without any results to show. He is a failed test cricketer averaging 91.66 from 2 tests with 3 wickets. Do you think he is fit to coach this team? Between Gibbo and Sars who has better test credentials and experience?

[BallOil]

Which bush doctor doing fitness test beyond the boundary?

[BallOil]

Mappy...Gibbo seh that the players will get a physical exam before the tour.. If Sarwan is unfit, why they didn't selected him pending the result of the fitness test?
NO, them bush doctor seh he unfit without a test.. Suh it is guh eh? Is this fair employment practices?

[BallOil]

RBK256 puts it down to ethocentrism. I dont think so! it is the labour/management tussle, classism, not ethnocentricity

Whateva it is...it doh belong in pro-sport. How you justify a player unfit who has been playing cricket injury free? How about a transparent selection process? How about selecting players with stats to back em up? How about selecting a captain who can mek the team on merit? What the fact you call this Mappy?

i dont know nutten about gibson. how can i know the answer to such questions? and how are those quesions relevant to the sars situation?

gibsons is fielding questions but who says it is he who dropprd sarwan?

as a coach he must want to win and not having his second best bastman may not be what he had in mind even if he is up front taking the flak and answering in the voice of his employers.

what does it take to be a coach..stardom as a cricketer? what was bennett king?

and what does a comparison between gibson and sars reward us with? does it explain sars behaviour in australia, justify it..or even reveal why sars was dropped, or what was in Garners report..even what role and weight garners report had on the selection of this team to SL?

there are many questions it would seem wise to find soem reasonable answers to before we conclude as vehemently as we do ehere

[BallOil]

yes...lets do it reasonably.... where is Sars fitness report? What about the misdiagnoses of Sars injury by WICB mgmt touring party? Why cricket Australia had to foot Sars medical bills ? What is WICB doing to keep their second best player match ready?

What is the criteria for selection? How do you justify Sammy, Baugh, Smith and Thomas selection?

[BallOil]

Is Sarwan unfit because he is NOT playing on a level playing field?

[BallOil]

WTF? Mappy you deh?

[mapoui]

WTF? Mappy you deh?

sarwan is not a child! and here are clearly defined roles for admin and professional in the fitness issue.

in the end sars body is his not the wicbs, and it is his responsibility to be fit as possible at all times! that is professionalism, that is acceptance of responsibility for oneself and effectively carrying it out.

you speak as if sars is a baby and wicb the childs mother.

as i said I would pick sars regardless. but you absolve sras in this matter and you are dead wrong. absolution sars does not need but the full remdiner that he is responsible for himself not the wicb and if he wanted to to be above this unseemly fray he would not have behaved as he did on that last Oz tour.

if sars had enemies at rhe wicb and yet wanted to play test cricket why on earth would he have given them the amunition aganst him he did on that rour.

it seem sars was suicidal, a fool, quite unsophisticated as I have said before.

I woud still pick him becasue we can ill-afrord to be without him. but I know the guy and he is not that smart. he is profligate with his health and abilities... and opportunities. it seems to me that YOU are more concerned about his well-being than he is!

[BallOil]

Mapoui...you still didn't answer any of my questions here
