Dyson unhappy with Gayle

Monday, May 4th, 2009

West Indies head coach John Dyson is clearly unhappy with Chris Gayle’s decision to delay his arrival in England while playing one more IPL game:

“I just have to work with that,” he said. “We thought the original NOC was the barest minimum but you just have to work with what happens. Our board considered that an extra day or two didn’t matter so that’s that. It’s one of the things these days that you have to work with.

“We all knew the IPL was on and we knew the players would be arriving when they have. Ideally you would have your full squad here, but you have to work with how it is. Medical guys say you need time to recover from flights, coaches say you need practice and then you get players saying they can handle not doing that. I suppose time will tell.”
