Fazeer: Gayle should step down now

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Fazeer Mohammed thinks Chris Gayle should resign the West Indies captaincy immediately:

Take nothing away from the fact that, on the field, he has made a definite positive difference since, ironically, the one-day series on the last tour of England two years ago. But if that’s how he feels, Gayle should do West Indies cricket a favour and step down now. Yes, right now, and let someone else represent the tourists at this morning’s media conference ahead of the second and final Test starting tomorrow in Chester-le-Street.

In the Guardian interview, Gayle just sounded tired and burnt out. I think he needs a long, real vacation.
