So Tell Which Cricketing Nation

Has ever had a batsman in their prime turn round and say..Thanks but no thanks?
I simply cannot remember any... Gone were the days when you had to beg a great West Indies batsman past his prime to retire.
The magic of a West Indies cap in any format, test, odi or even T20 now is a play ting for greater tings..

Or maybe certain players don't like the prospect of playing for certain coaches.

I said maybe.

Seymour Nurse?

In reply to Drapsey

Don forget the Universe boss was banished by a former WI coach and current WI coach for 18 months when he was in his prime...

Remember the great Shiv begged like a dawg for two more test matches ....only two more ....and at a time when there were no obvious player available to replace him....and he was spitefully denied his humble request

Seymour Nurse call it a day in his prime time? Ya sure 'bout dat?

In reply to Narper

West Indies cricketers in general in our time don't see West Indies cricket as a first option pledge to base themselves from.
For those who can't understand what I just wrote, put it like this 'I'm a child of West Indies cricket and everything else about me is an offspring of this'

Yuh right bro. Yuh know yuh cricket sah..Seymour Nurse did so .

In reply to Raggs

Nurse retired right after a double to vs NZ away, I think Basil Butcher did the same, believe his last innings was a ton vs Poms in Pomland before he went to US to live. Hubert can tell us if Bam-Bam Weekes would've played more tests had he not returned to where he was born...USA. L Farry Gomes and Garner weren't happy with Viv's captaincy and left. M.L.C. Foster was picked for the tour of India '74-75 and promptly retired 'to concentrate on his business.' Some say as a veteran FC cappo he was peeved Lloyd and not he was appointed cappo. His replacement was on I.V.A. Richards whose career and Big Cat's tenure is the subject of legends.
