BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) ? Ex-West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) head, Sir Wes Hall, has described as ?torrentially tasteless? current board president Dave Cameron?s controversial tweet regarding champion batsman Chris Gayle.Delivering the feature address at the Barbados Cricket Association?s 2014 Awards Ceremony last Friday, the legendary former West Indies fast bowler said Cameron?s actions had fallen ?short of the diplomatic niceties?.</p>
<p>?I am an ex-West Indies player and I have an unconditional love for cricket and for all people especially those who have been privileged to wear the maroon,? the Barbados Today online newspaper quoted Sir Wes as saying.

Cameron sparked a firestorm last week when he re-tweeted a message critical of Gayle?s poor form, via online social networking service, Twitter.</p>
