....against pace bowling, what do you expect?
Sammy accepted a poisoned chalice and must have known that he was embarking on mission impossible.
The unvarnished truth is, our players lack the technical ability to play test cricket. A plethora of voices here have been syaing this.The board knows it...Sammy knows it...the whole world knows it yet we are attempting to bluff our way to a solution. In my best Jamaican accent: "Dat nah go happen."How can the Pesident of the CWI blame our lack of batting success or overall accomplishments on this tour on the absence of two leading fast bowlers?
A CWI President who cannot identify the problem does not deserve being at the helm of our cricket. His situation is further compounded by his recent distraction of being appointed Minister of Tourism. A newbie minister cannot function in his new capacity while at the same time give undivided attention to the problems which beset the management of any organisation.
Those who attempt to insulate the CWI President against any negative repercussions of holding two serious responsibilities are either naive or dumb. Please spare me your codswallop. It is not as if the CWI President has been doing an outstanding job and that he is indespensible...far from this, he is an adject failure.
Any evaluation of his tenure of leadshership will aasses his performance as abysmal.
There should be a deafening cry throughout the region to see the back of the CWI President pronto. In the words of one of our popular election campaign songs: "Kishore Shallow move from there." .
