Gayle all but out of Tests, career at stake too
by raman govindan on Jun 17, 2011 08:27 AM

when Ken. Rosewell and Lew Hoad turned professional, there was an outcry, for, they were ineligible to represent their country in international events including Wimbleton.

the table was turned when all the premier tounaments within a decade permitted professional tennis players.

the same will be the case with west indies cricket board. Gayle is not holding the post of a prime minister or the prseident of his country. he has to earn his dollars and living during his playing years which are limited. playing in IPL provides him with straightforward way of earning it. that is better than many other test cricket players are accused off.

he has done much better than all the money spent by their countries towards foreign relations and to improve the image Carribians in India at zero cost to them.

we may not know who is the premiers of their countries but we know Gayle. he carries with us, a very good impression of his people and countrymen. let their board not sully it.

west indies has become the first victim of IPL and had pakis been given a chance to play whole team would be playing ipl and sit at home whole year.even our own indian team players given a chance will ignore tests and play only ipl.ipl instead of improving cricket is burying cricket.

Not that good player

Gayle was not that a good cricketer, he is much talked about only after the IPL 2011, but what about previous IPLs, even Paul Walthaty performed very well this year.

Innovative Paki solution for their national identity crisis
by lookisay on Jun 16, 2011 03:09 PM

Every little child in Pakistan has been asked by their own father & mother to call an Arab or a Turk as his/her father.

I heard that their leaders think this way they could better establish their Middle eastern identity!
