Samuels currently working on correction of bowling action, despite his World cup heroics, been able to bowl should make him more marketable.

Yep he';s making himself more marketable
That makes sense.
If successful that can add quite a few years on his career.

According to Tino, the WICB denied Fletcher an NOC...so much for that!

Did Samuels get one? If so, why Samuels, and why not Fletcher? Where's the consistency?

In any case, apparently Fletcher's on his way to Cuba for eye surgery....

Maybe Samuels not a contracted player.

Neither is Fletcher.

Not to west indies that is. He might be contracted to windward Islands but this tournament nearly done.

Wow sorry to hear about Fletcher, I hope it will not affect his batting but there are great eye doctors in Cuba, have some friends who studied there.

Why deny Fletcher NOC? Marlon t think had some prior arrangement with them. He is favoured by putting WI before IPL for some matches in the past.

Aren't you supposed to be a doctor?

Or maybe you just studied medicine like our own Courtesy.

Are you aware that there are several levels of injuries due to its severity, some do not necessarily affect the patient's ability to bat. Do you remember Lawrence Yagga Rowe?

I know zilch about medicine. Was just calling you out on the misused word.
