West Indies Cricket Fans

The future of out-of-favour West Indies opener Chris Gayle could be decided today when he meets with members of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), and the West Indies management and coaching staff meet to iron out differences arising from a recent national radio interview.

"A meeting is scheduled for tomorrow (in Kingston) and we look forward to it," West Indies Players' Association (WIPA) President Dinanath Ramnarine said yesterday.

WICB president Dr Julian Hunte and chief executive officer, Ernest Hilaire, along with members of the West Indies and Indian teams, are slated to arrive in Jamaica today.The fifth and final match of the ODI series will be held at Sabina Park on Thursday.

yes, Gayle proposed a time for a Trinidad meeting but that wasn't good for the WICB. The series was too early So they rescheduled for today after we done lose the series.

Did this meeting actually take place? Because Gayle's not in the ODI side....

If the WICB think they're hurting Gayle by omitting him, they'd better think again, because Gayle has made such an impact at the IPL that he can easily retire from WI cricket and earn a good living playing just 20/20 cricket.

And if they think Gayle is an abherration, they need to think again. Today it's Gayle, tomorrow it's the Bravos, Simmons and Russell....

Good points mikesiva but isn't the lore of historical noteworthiness of more lasting impact than 'money'? And aren't the deserved accolades of your own countrymen, by which i mean fellow West Indians, sweeter to the ear than the exotic screechings of folk on a distant shore who will be praying that you fail when you play against their team?

Gayle, and others, may benefit in the pocket from stints at IPL or the Big Bash but I argue that the mark left by a player on Test cricket is what is of real lasting value. Test cricket calls for you to represent your chosen Nation to the best of your ability and indeed to strive beyond that capacity. Chris Gayle's ability is undoubted but his application is too often found wanting - and even as i say this I know that many will 'shoot' me down.

I dimly remember the second innings of a match at the Oval in which Gayle scoring a very quick century of which 70-something came in boundaries and shortly after got out. On his dismissal Sir Vivian Richards was heard to let-off a very eloquent and damning suck-teeth folllowed by some scathing comments. West Indies lost the game. And when you lose it is no comfort to hear people saying: "THAT IS THE WAY HE PLAYS THE GAME" and sing praises for the entertainment provided.

Chris Gayle's batting elicits too much kiss-me-teeth vexedness for me to get worked up over whether or not he chooses to play for West Indies. But good luck to him always - and we will see what history says.

Gayle is even more unethical as the people he condemns......so I feel they should just cut their losses and let dat drama queen go

Very, very, very well said! Especially the parts in bold.
