After roping in two marquee players - Kumar Sangakkara and Shahid Afridi - there's now a Caribbean flavour to the Hong Kong Twenty20 Blitz with Darren Sammy being the latest high-profile player who will take part in the T20 tournament.
Sammy, the two-time World T20 winning captain, will ply his trade for Hung Hom JD Jaguars, who also announced culinary innovators Bueno Insta Pizza Private Limited as a team sponsor.
Speaking about their latest signing, team coach Afzaal Haider said: "Darren Sammy is a stalwart of the game. His celebrations with the pacifier and champion dances have won him countless fans across the globe. More than that, he is a very astute cricketer, who can contribute with the bat, ball and strategies."

I think that's low.

With us West Indians ribbing each other on that subject, it's one thing, but for those %$%^& to be globalizing our Dear Leader's only documented transgression I take exception.

When one door closes , other Doors Open . It seems to me that the WICBC ,
believed that by being Spiteful , and
hell bent on Sabotaging Sammy's Cricket Career , instead the Big Idiots have done Sammy and others a big favour .

Sammy , you need to give the BIG IDIOTS in the WICBC a present , for
unintentionally making your Cricket
Career Soar to different parts of the
World .

Most agree, I think they thought that by really pushing these guys away they'll have to come back to them to beg a wrk.
Nope not the case.

The point is that these Arrogant , Spiteful BUMS , thought that they were
going to make the Players come back to them begging to Play .

Why is it almost the same pool of players get picked for T20?
Is it because there is a lack of talent, or is name recognition a big factor...it's not like these players are consistently tearing up the place

The actually have been until last year...bUT then the championship raised their stock even though they're not performing at the same level individually

The Truth is that the WICBC is populated with Pompous ; Egotistical ;
Big Idiots ; who relish the power that
they have ,never mind the fact that
as Members of the Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth .

THEY have not & can never claim to be
Good Stewards of Cricket in the Region . Not when they commissioned
several Reports regaining their 1929
year old Structure and summarily rejected ALL of them .

But worse yet is the fact that their
gigantic Egos have prevented them from forming harmonious relationships
with their Employees .

Most of the occasions that they fire
personnel , is just before Our Players participate in International
Cricket ; perhaps they believe that doing this is a Great Motivational
Tool . Never mind the fact that it has had the Opposite Effect .

However they still persist in this
Asinine Modus Operandi . This obviously illustrates the shallowness
of their thinking ; yet they persist
in this Stupidity .

Michael Clark also played in the tournament last year.

Isnt that exactly the case... last year Sammy in particular chose t20 league cricket over regional cricket. He did not do well enough to get a contract this year and now he is back at regional cricket.
