Wonder what Holding, Redz, Viv and co would have said. They are totally silent now. Insularity is the biggest affliction of WI cricket

Why Viv didn't explain , he threw Lara's equipment out of the dressing room and used him as a water boy.

Viv is a great batsman........but he's an overagressive egomaniac. Only reason he never lost a series was because he ingerited a great team and he had a bad temper

As well as he might be (Viv) but he did nothing different than what other seniors did while 'blooding' young 'uns back in the day. You all heard what Kalli said about Sir Lancelot 'mannersing' him. Lara pointed out that while driving Viv around and kept asking him when he'd get picked Viv told him soon but make sure he made full use of it when it came. While Gayle's behavior may be insufferable unlike Lara most of it came as a senior and not a newbie who walked out in England. Bad behavior from one does not sanitize that of another.

Who has a bigger ego than the self proclaimed Universe boss?
People referred to Viv as the master blaster, he didn't christen himself that.

Dude, Viv said in a documentary( Empire of Cricket) that nobody was better than him. He is the pioneer of that kind of narcissism in WI cricket

Why do you always have to drag Viv into every argument.
Gayle being a JACKASS is just that. I.E Gayle being a jackass.Why you have to bring Lara and Viv and then compare who did what.

Didn't Ramdin addressed Viv after that knock, both players and ex players need to be more measured in comments about each other!

You would never hear white players and ex players being critical of each other, on another level Ambrose should let the selectors do their job.

Shane Warne couldn’t find room for World Cup destroyer Mitchell Starc in his Ashes 11.
Taking a break from tweeting about Love Island – the UK version, better than the domestic drivel according to well-placed sources – Warne has gone with a four-pronged attack of James Pattinson, Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood.

Shane Warne has reignited his feud with Mitchell Starc, labelling the performance of Australia's leading quick bowler 'atrocious' in the first Test against India in Adelaide.
Speaking ahead of the second cricket Test starting on Friday, Warne said it was vital for Starc to deliver in Perth.
'I don't believe Mitchell Starc has found his rhythm yet at all,' Warne said in his Daily Telegraph column.

I don't know the context but if Ambie was asked if he thought Gayle belonged in the starting XI and gave that answer its not a big deal. Ideally both Gayle n Ambrose should've left those outside the off-stump

GARBAGE!!!
Who is Chris Gayle that anyone-journalist, fan or more so, a former great servant of West Indies cricket- should have to tip-toe around giving a fair assessment of his diminishing ability at this stage, the twilight of his career?

if picked, he will get a chance to boss around with his bat. Good luck to him but big men should not be so thin skinned about legitimate criticism. Only despots behave like that.

Is Gayle selection base on performance of the last couple years, or is it base on his experience/Friendship?
Gayle has past his sell by date, plain and simple.

You seem to believe that Gayle's experience is good enough for him to be selected, even if his stats in the last couple years shows, his batting performance is below par, his fielding is questionable and he cannot run quick singles.

What did Viv do to Ramdin for him to walk around with a 8 1/2 X 11 inches of a paper note in his pocket for months?

Jackass, Vivian Richards was a leader of men.
Have a look at their win/loss record and then come back to me.
Vi has earned the right to speak about players, I don't think Lara relationship during his time is the same.

Dipstick ...if a leader of men does that to me ..I would punch his lights out .....
To do such shows poor leadership.
This is one of the reasons Dinas quit.....owing to lack of leadership.
Berate UB after the WC if he is a failure ....to do it before shows stupidity.

Do you have proof that Ramdin did what you posted .....or are you like others here that spew BS without proof ?.
When challenged they run. The price of success is to bear the criticism of envy, how sad.

Viv inherited the best team on earth. Many of the players who played under him said they felt very intimidated by him and his temper.
Viv ignored the fact that the WICB had picked a side, without their three best players( Gayle, Jerome Taylor and DJ Bravo) and was led by a man who could not make the team except as cappo in Darren Sammy. Then wrote a shameless article concentrating on Kirk Edwards' struggles and Ramdin. Viv looked for that.

Silence is never good in team sports from what I’ve seen so far. I wonder how this is going to affect my outright bet. I guess I placed them too early this time.
