Shiv told of farewell series

 
Emir 2014-08-29 03:11:21 

The Bangadesh tests will be Shiv's last, ending an illustrious career and dedicated service to the WI and to cricket.


A press conference with Shiv, Lloyd and other WICB officers will be held shortly to announce this "mutual" decision

Mutual decision??

Sounds like he is being forced out

 
HumbleCalf 2014-08-29 03:15:04 

They ill-treated Lara, why should Shiv be any different...

 
Commie 2014-08-29 03:17:40 

Emir also said that the Tallawahs would be playing in the Champions League.

Ooops.

In reply to Commie

OK, I got that one wrong from my source, but many others were true and indeed the Ganga scoop was exclusive.

I do not ask anyone to believe me, but lets just wait and see.

What Ganga scoop?

Any time the Windies push Shiv out, you know the Test side is going to hit rock bottom....
big grin
Shiv averaged over 48 in the last Test series, at home to NZ. Only Kraigg and Blackwood averaged higher, and neither played the whole series, like he did. Shiv scored 195 runs - only Kraigg and Gayle scored more.

Only a complete bunch of idiots would push Shiv out now...rather, they should be on their knees, begging him to continue!
lol

Too right.

Positives from this is WI can lose test matches in 1.5/2 days now and have some extra holiday time in between tests.

Hmmmmm we never learned the name of the incestuous Trini....

 
brians_da_best 2014-08-29 10:54:46 

Lol, there can't be any element of truth here. Emir with 90 posts, and les than one month on this board, has 0 credibility whatsoever.

Waiting for the press conference, mr 0 credibility emir big grin big grin

 
smuggler 2014-08-30 10:58:55 

Wouldn't surprise me. Shiv getting close to Lara record. Them Trinis nasty. Ramdin probably looking to retire the man.

Shiv is the best West Indian batsman. He should play till he is 50 if he wants to. Is it not about performance ? If he is performing why should he be asked to end his career ?

 
Emir 2014-08-30 13:11:48 

In reply to brians_da_best

Look out for it after the Bangla series.

 
brians_da_best 2014-08-30 13:53:41 

In reply to Emir

Hahaha, from before the series to after.

When he's 40 you know such a conference will come sooner or later. How about wait for it, it could come anywhere in the next 2 yrs big grin

 
Emir 2014-08-30 18:54:01 

In reply to brians_da_best

Never did I claim the press conference will be before the series begin- go check what I wrote. the plan is for him to go out in a bang and what better opponents to do so against.

 
cherri 2014-08-30 19:12:21 

I find it strange that he was told this and he did not run to the press.....the last set of people just made a suggestion to him and he ran to the press so fast, now this crowd informing him that this is his last mass and he quiet...........damn.....this new set-up doing a kennel pon west indies cricket and not a boy dare pick dey teet'........

 
Emir 2014-08-30 19:22:23 

In reply to cherri

Its a different situation lady. With Gibson- 3 years ago he was being pushed out, with Clive- 3 years forward he is approaching 41 and the time is right- at home and against opponents that he can go off in grand style.

Nowhere did I claim Shiv was not aligned with the decision.

 
cherri 2014-08-30 19:36:29 

In reply to Emir

And I can tell you with a great degree of certainty that was not the case.......anyhow, seeing that you have now become the resident informant, I will go no further with you.......who knows, you may be onto something.........

 
Andy99 2014-08-30 19:44:43 

1 format he is playing for WI and is performing so if this is true, I doubt it is, then WICB are wrong here.

Any if this is indeed true they are forking idiots, if you want to plan for the future and retire Shiv then the time to do that would've been vs NZ so you can use this current Bangladesh series to give the guy who's going to replace him an easy start before going away to India and South Africa.

 
Emir 2014-08-30 19:50:41 

In reply to cherri

I am no resident informant, but my source is very certain on this one and I have no reason to doubt her.

 
Emir 2014-08-30 19:51:57 

In reply to Andy99

Once can also flip your argument and say, giving him Bangladesh is the tastiest piece of meat that you could have possibly given him as a parting gift, what better way to send him out.

Why you making me laugh Mike.

I have heard this argument before with Lara. Now it is with Shiv. With all due respect to these great, yes I said, great players, when they were/are leaving the team was/is at the bottom of the pile so how far lower can it go?

Here is the thing to do Emir. Keep the news. Don't share. Does your 'source' know that you are sharing what he/she told you, in a public forum?

#not_politically_correc
#just_saying

 
Yamfoot 2014-09-01 23:45:49

And ESPECIALLY since you're a newbie. Doesn't look good. Unless you're Shiv himself lol

Sharing it is the idea

How much lower can we go?

Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are currently ranked below us....

Seriously, can you imagine this Test team touring India and South Africa later this year WITHOUT Shiv?

shock

then what are you? shiv buckta. lol lol

 
GCCBourda 2014-09-02 15:13:25 

This is Shiv's last home series; hence, a home farewell.

It would be interesting to know what Clive Lloyd is thinking beyond the Bang tour - Jaip, Westdem you supposedly met CL recently?

 
Emir 2014-09-03 00:11:51

I have not be reincarnated. If you think a little deeper you will get the answer you seek shock

Ewart 2014-09-03 11:40:50 

It is emir nonsense... I mean errant nonsense... to suggest that age by itself should be the determinant of a cricketer's abilities or best-before date. Chanderpaul is living proof of that kind of foolishness.

A hope advertising is yuh business. It takes a lot of skill to generate so much innuendo about suggestions/feelings based on a rumour.

Of course there is always a man like Jiap who can smell:-

BULLSHIT
