ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC) — Former West Indies seamer Kenny Benjamin believes once head coach Phil Simmons was in favour of Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard, the selection panel should have given him their support.

Benjamin, who grabbed 92 wickets in 26 Tests between 1992 and 1998, also said a clear policy on the two players needed to be established and communicated to selectors.

"If Pollard and Bravo should not be selected there should be a memo passed on to the selectors saying these guys are not eligible, you can't leave it open and then you have that kind of rift between selectors and coaches so obviously there is a problem. If you ask any head coach around the world, they hardly vote these days," Benjamin told the Antigua Observer newspaper.

It is quite possible , that Phil Simmons is being set up to fail , because some do not like the cut of his Jib .

It seems to me that since the interim Coach Eldine Baptiste was going to
Sri Lanka with the Team .

Simmons is not going to get the full support of all the Selectors . The fault out of this Mess , is likely to be long lasting , in my opinion .

The fact of the matter however is that Acts & Personalities of some are
going to make long lasting Scars on
not only Our Players , but Cricket in the Region ; and the competitiveness
our Players in the International Cricket Arena .
