Govt. official calls for protest at Guyana ODI

Apr 29, 2011 Sports

“The disrespectful, irrational and HILAIRE-ous exclusion of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, and Chris Gayle is final nail in the coffin for a creature identified as the West Indies Cricket Board that evolved into this heartless beast.”
This was the view of a government official.
“The fans of West Indies cricket have waited patiently (almost 20 years) for the WICB to return West Indies cricket to some degree of pride and honour. The results speak for themselves: West Indies ICC ODI ranking: ninth (BELOW Bangladesh); West Indies ICC Test ranking: seventh out of nine teams.
“The fans of West Indies Cricket are the most optimistic and loyal in the world but we are completely fed up.”
The official said that given all that has been happening, “a call is made for the wholesale resignation of all the members of this unaccountable and insouciant body called the WICB and the immediate inclusion of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan and/or Chris Gayle.
“If the WICB fails to include any of these players in the West Indies team (both Test and ODI) a call is made for the public to register their anger and frustration in the form of a protest on May 5, 2011 at the National Stadium, Providence, Guyana.”
