This type of treatment to Jamaican players have been happening for years, only Jamaican players are forced to be consistent, as in the cases of Baugh, McKenzie, a Youth who shouldered the batting for West Indies against the mighty Australians; Blackwood, who still have a higher test average than many on the current team; Powell, Nash; and many more who just failed in one series and they are elated and it’s like they couldn’t wait for one series failure to remove them from the team. Meanwhile there are consistent failures among players from a certain island but they are given so many chances that it took a collective uproar around the region for them to finally remove one of their failed players. Some fans on this Board are also to be blamed, always clamouring for Yardie players to be dropped, that why I became the unofficial PR and Voice of Jamaican players, some years ago because there was no one pushing back or advocating about the poor treatment of Yardie players on the various WI teams.
