Ottis Gibson, the West Indies coach, has said the West Indies players backed Chris Gayle's criticism of Sulieman Benn after the left-arm spinner was ordered off the field for disobeying his captain during the fourth ODI in Dominica. Benn was subsequently fined his entire match fee but was picked in the squad for the final ODI against South Africa on Thursday.

"The skipper is his own man and he has spoken out. Normally he is a very quiet person but his frustration is causing him to come out and the players understand this," Gibson told reporters in Trinidad. "We met and the guys think that probably it is time that things come out and maybe it would lead to betterment. The skipper thought that he was not getting the support he needed from a player who was not giving 100 percent and he spoke out."
why they having meetings if the story settled? is there more to the story? :?
