Ramdins topsy turvy world
Tue, Jul 28, '15
THE topsy-turvy cricketing life of Denesh Ramdin has taken another back flip.
Given the history, it is premature to believe that his reliably reported omission from the West Indies team to the triangular ODI series in Zimbabwe next month is his last tumble.
Over the 15 years since he first played in West Indies colours in the champion team in the one-off Under-15 international Costcutter Cup in England in 2000, Ramdin has experienced the idiosyncracies of West Indies administrators and selectors more than most others. Every time he has surmounted them.
Only Jeffrey Dujon of West Indies’ wicket-keepers has played more Tests, 79 to Ramdin’s 69; only Dujon (167) and Ridley Jacobs (147) have more than his 127 ODIs. Neither was ever dropped.
