His history alone reveals the likeliness of this: Sarwan is a chatterbox and will talk freely once he gets going. Perhaps the acupuncture treatment made him more relaxed and inclined to greater frankness, but it is unlikely that he has been biding time and planning a hit.

Yet hit he did. Not only at Bennett King, towards whom his remarks were scathing, but also at his former captain, Brian Lara. Sarwan was bitter as he spoke of the circumstances under which he was dropped for the second Test against Pakistan at Multan in 2006.

"I was in the dressing room on the morning of the Test preparing to go out for batting practice when Brian approached me and said I was not playing," he recounted. "I was very shocked, but I said nothing and went out to do some batting drills. I don't think my omission was justified. I was very angry because there was no specific reason given for the decision to drop me. It made me understand that the sport is also about politics and that people would do what's necessary to accomplish their own goals, whatever that might be. It was a very humiliating experience, but I think it has made me stronger as a person."

The incident was one Lara had explained as aimed at sending a message to Sarwan to help him improve his game. Indeed, reports were circulating behind the scenes that Sarwan's behaviour at the time was arrogant and that he heeded no one.

Was it appropriate to tell him on the morning of the Test that he was not playing? He was not the first to have been summarily dropped, but surely he was not clueless about the impact of his behaviour. Remember, Clive Lloyd had been asked (after Garry Sobers was unavailable) to come out to join the team to help with player relations.

Sarwan's ego was reasonably wounded by the cut. With many non-cricket months under his belt since, one expects that he would have revisited the circumstances mentally and tried to assess the situation from a distance. If he has done so, and still arrives at the conclusion that his being dropped was a politically motivated move to facilitate other people's goals, that says a great deal about Sarwan, about his relationship with Lara, and about the general atmosphere in which these players huddle (or don't).

Sarwan's criticism of King follows similar statements, notably by Marlon Samuels, about the relationship between coach and players. Perhaps Sarwan's claims are true about King's manner being rough, but then there is also the question of how rough is rough. I don't doubt that Sarwan believes what he says. I also think there is evidence that the players have not been inclined to regard coaching instructions, and those concerning nutrition and physical fitness, with respect. Some months ago a physio's report was circulated that cited some serious slackness within the outfit in each of these areas.

Sarwan himself is not known to be keen on training. In the same Toronto interview he spoke of his ambivalence as he went after the ball, attempting to field which he injured himself. "I wanted to dive earlier, but by the time I realised I was very close to the boundary, I lunged forward and fell awkwardly. Looking back, it was obviously not the right thing to do."

Is it that they are not trained on how to slide and dive, or is it that they ignore the training? Coaches galore have come and gone, most complaining that they cannot get the team to comply. Even Malcolm Marshall threw up his hands in despair. Is it a coach problem, a team problem, or the inability of both sides to understand each other's roles and responsibilities?

Sarwan may have inadvertently started another debate over what ails West Indies cricket. Whether his remarks were intemperate or not should not cloud the issue because, right or wrong, he has communicated quite clearly that these flawed relations are as much to blame for poor performance as anything else. The new board would do well to address that, rather than seek to employ the old method of disciplining the messenger.

players? coaches? i think we are all missing the point. sport and indeed life repeats itself, goes in cycles. once we(WI)were a great team, not because we had great coaches but because we had extraordinary players. now we have some good players ie gayle, bravo, sarwan and a very good player in Shiv but no 'great' players. Lara was the last great player we have produced,and in 2000 we lost Amby and Walsh. Aus have just lost McGarth and Warne and Langer with Hayden not far behind, we'll soon see how great their team or coaches are! With the WI's its quite simple, players or coaches cant hide the fact 'you cant polish a turd'....... eddy , peckham ...london

Sarwan remarks proves that he is not ready for prime time.We all know Lara had his agenda but, if this is the type of leadership WI cricket is gonna get then we are in for a sad ride under Sars leadership.

The players are been paid to work and should be in the best physical condition. Look at the number of injuries that players have suffered, most could be avoided if they were more physically fit.

These latest remakrs by Sarwan just illutrates that there is much under the surface anf further adds fuel to the thoughts of the people of the Caribbean that there is a lot to be done to heal and restore the lreations between players, coach and Borad. This is a job of huge dimensions that would take patience, understanding and much goodwill from all parties to resolve.

The comments made by players toward the coaching techniques of various coaches only symbolises another stage in the decline of West Indies cricket. Who is at fault? There are only the players to blame. With a loser side filled with pre-madonnas and wanna be playboys. I mean come on. Isn't the West Indian followers tired of "playing for pride" when we are 2-0 down in a serise and can only show face in the last game with a draw? What MR. SARWAN and MR. SAMUELS need to do is look at some American athletes, say in a sport like NFL and watch the trainning video and see the mental fatigue these players are put under then compare it with yourselves. When these guys get thrown some harsh words by their coaches they don't run to the press and ranting and raving like a school boy who runs to his mother after an encounter with the school yard bully. Come on guys grow up! What kind role models are you all presenting for young and upcomming cricketers out there? A suggestion? Maybe the weight of all you jewelry worn on field hinder your pace and ability the dive further and brace yourself. Maybe less jewlery would lead to less injuries, who knows? This current West Indies team is such a disppointment. Probably the only team in the history of sport who celebrates a loss by partying. Oh the grief! Get back in the nets..practice! Is this what your coach was telling you? Guys pull your acts together, the way rumors and conspiracies are flying around lately who knows with your performances they might charge you all with match fixing? Or do they think we're that bad we're even incapible of that. As a 'loyal supporter' of Wesr Indies cricket I can safely say I only follow the last game of a test series because its the only game where we might have a chance of winning after a flopped series because god forbid we must leave with our pride intact. So guys get back in the nets and if you think your next coach is to abusive drop a line to WIPA I'm sure they'll be happy to send you guy to the best sport shrink out there. One more thing, in my opinion Ramnaresh Sarwan was not the best option for captain.

I'm so bored of these WI players. Boo-hoo they dropped me. They did him a favour, let's not forget that the last time old Ramnaresh faced Pakistan (in 2005), he averaged 17.5.

Sarwan's Averages
Pak in West Indies, 2005 17.50
Aus in Australia, 2005 27.33
WI in New Zealand 2006 33.00
India 2006 32.12

He needed a wake up call. The WHOLE TEAM needs a wake up call.

I believe that the coach is responsible for what has happened and rightly quit after the world cup. I also believe that the captain has a very important role to play in communicating the tactical changes that the coach wants to implement to the team.

Both are wrong! The coach(King), never corrected flaws in players techniques and the players never trained properly. The players look very lacadasical on each morning of test matches. Chris Gale looks like a Zombie on mornings still sleepwalking on the field. Too unproffessional for success!

....well is this the sign of an effective leader ie making scathing comments on King and Lara after they have left the scene. I wish he would revisit and look and see what he is going to do differently going forward !

I truely believe that Sarwan is the wrong choice as captain. As we saw the West Indies players respond to Chris Gayle at the helm the second half of the summer in England. Richards,Lloyd and Richardson got the respect of those who played under them. Sarwan and Lara before him seem to fall short in that aspect. Sarwan is now captain and should not have used this now as an opportunity to have a swipe at Bennett King, all disagreements should be settled at the time. I hope this is the last of such outbursts and Sarwan respects his position and what it means. He is the main ambassador for West Indies cricket and as such should conduct himeself in that manner.

The Players! And hardly Lara. What have Micheal Holding Accomplished? Few West Indians have acheived a meager 10% of what Lara has and yet he has been battered and abused. Again, we see the dissent in the team. Lara through the end of career and might I say "premature" end should have been viewed as father figure and a coach. Which young man will not look at articulate techniques of this great batsman, this great cricketeer and up his game. Which coach will teach a lesson that does not need to be taught. Bennet King? Malcolm Marshall? Buchanan?. WI are not sportsman. They believe that they are cricketeers and they are not. Test Cricket is truly that .."a test". They have failed miserably because the control and discipline is non-existent. Cricket is a gentlemans game. I believe that. Whilst entertaining, ODI's & 20/20 is not a true test of a great cricketeer but of excellent sluggers. Lara has excelled in both ways. Bennet King tried the right approach-discipline, training. What approach did some of the players display? INdiscipline, INfighting and in the End they were left ALL OUT!

A coach's job is to instruct players on ways of which to use their abilities to win. If that does not work, then there could be one of two problems. One, the coach's method is wrong or two, the player is not good enough and should be be replaced. The answer to your question is "it depends". A good admistrator should know the answer in about two or three games, if not they may well be the problem also.

This a typical blame game,Sarwan needs to clean his act up before he starts pointing his finger,supposely a guy with all his talents has very little to show in his stats,get some big scores and lead by example.

I think Sarwan is the mirror that reflexes a very frustrated coach who was at his wits end trying to deal with a bunch of very very difficult primadonas, who think that they are much better than they really are.
I sense similar frustration from other coaches in the past. Probably as a forienger King was more prepared to stand his ground hence Sarwan's tirade.
When these 'babies' start crying that they are being overworked the powers that be should send them to see how well paid proffesional athletes train. On their return the selectors should tell them that if they cannot stand the heat they should leave the kitchen.

I hesitate to comment on blame. However,it is instructive to note that the most reticent person has been the team's most consistent performer. How has the problems with the Board affected his performance?

But the new Board should clean up shop. This is now a business and it is not profitable. If it is not turned around the game will no longer survive in the Caribbean in its present form. 20/20 also known as Baseball II will be the new spectator sport. When you take over a new business you have to implement new ideas, shelve the ones that have not worked. It is expected.
So here is my advice.
Lara is gone, Bennett is gone. This is not an indication of performance of either, quite the contrary. But since they are part of the old guard and there is a changing, now is the time to implement the new look and attitude. So, the continuing complaints and attitudes will infect new players and the downward spiral will continue. To stop this, out with Sarwan (given enough chances, out with Gayle - should not be opening the batting what the glaring technique faults and inconsistency, out with Samuels. ( Gayle and Sarwan partying in the stands was a reflection of an attitude that has prevailed, losing can be forgotten with a little partying -no problem, man). Keep the bowlers, they will be recognized as a pack in the next two years - if the Board hires a specialized bowling coach. Chanderpaul to lynch pin the middle order. Ganga as captain (for one more series, last chance to prove his place on the team and earn the respect of his team members as a performer. This should be easier with the bad attitudes gone. Bravo for vice-captain to be groomed or to take over should Ganga not perform.
As a rule, 2 spinners on tour for the next three tours. Easier said than done and egos will be bruised. In other professions, people get let go everyday because of incompetence or are re-orgd out because of attitudes. Its time now for WI cricket.

It's a bit of both....but I think more so on the shoulders of the players. If they claim to be professional, then they must be mature enough to understand and appreciate what is being imparted. King may have been reacting to the lack of response from the players, and being an Aussie, would not have understood the slackness around him. Sarwan's comments confirm his immaturity and his unsuitability for the post. Hopefully, he may be able to grow into the position...before too much damage is done.

Sarwan should put his brains...King was a competent coach before he came to the westindies..the problem is the westindies aren't picking players with enough technical skills to be coached.The westindies could do well to make sure players are unable to shout their mouths off before their statements are assessed and legally documented for the general public..very few of them can understand the impact of such derogatory statements.

The problem is multilayered as the article suugests. There is a culture of indiscipline that has crept in during the last few years. I can imagine an aggressive Austrailian coach having this type of conflict with such players. Personnel on both sides need to repsect each other's roles more and work for the common good. This is as true for players and coach as it is for administartors and WIPA. Chris Gayle was right about one thing - the bard needs the best out of players but the inverse is also true. For the difference in the sides, you ll never hear an Australain player complaining about abuse from coaches.

This is one of the reasons for the decline of West Indies cricket, flair and talent are not enough anymore to be dominant. Imagine with all the natural talent in the West Indies, what could be done. In the 70's and 80's Dr. Rudi Webster and Clive Lloyd shaped this side into a unit that teams around the world feared. Hard training regimes, and specific routines and diets for players were given. Michael Holding says there was not a day, that he did not work his behind off, when he was playing for West Indies.

Why is this present bunch not willing to stand up and fulfill their potential. Sarwan especially. When they were in Australia they showed glimpses of fighting, but nothing sustained, it is like they did not care and just showed up to play.

The younger players in the side are full of talent and enthusiasm and the younger this side gets I think the better, Edwards, Rampaul, Ramdin and Bravo are the future, and if the selectors can push a couple of more youngsters to press for players, then West Indies will be in a good state. Of this present bunch, Chanderpaul seems to, still, be the most diligent and it showed in his form in England. He is a true professional, and understands that with rewards, comes hard work and sacrifice. If he can instill this in the next generation coming up, then I can see WI being at the top again. West Indies need a coach, but what they need more is mentorship and a kick in the behind from the previous greats. I think Viv Richards is the right man to do this.

Neither. I would blame the West Indies Cricket Board. A region with such a proud cricketing history , should never have employed a foreign coach and invested in him, all the powers never given to a local coach.
The West Indies is a team of mixed island cultures, that even locals find challenging. Hiring a foreigner in such situations, only spells danger.

the wicb to be blamed

Ronnie should let the bat do the talking, the same way Fernando, Lee, Ntini, Sammi and Bond did the talking with the talking with the ball on him.

both the WIPA and the WICB has flaws

the players are the ones who have to make the efforts.not the board.they are the ones on the field of play.yes sarwan is arrogant.everybody wants to be captain.he is a chatter-box.he doesn't have the capabilities to be a good captain.but like the favourites---lara was one---from very early he was DESTINED to play for WI.so he had a gold spoon in his mouth.whilst shiv ALWAYS works at his game---forget about crabby technique----look at the scoreboard as geoffrey boycott says----the players just lack descipline.all they care of in $$$$$$.what they fail to realise is when they start winning ALL the $$$$ will flow.ganga is still a better captain---if only he had cooperation from his team and batted at 4.

vanesa baksh at this time should seek another
profession if thereiis one for her because most
time her comments against sarwan is so dum .

The blame should be put upon player, except Lara.

Vaneisa Baksh's observations about the entire situation are somewhat tainted by regionalism, or what some have called insularity. I observed, somewhat disappointingly, that Baksh's tirade has no real problem with the idea that King was somewhat of a rough coach. "How rough is rough" she asks. I guess that like most things this is relative. But surely, an individual must know when things are out of hand. Come on, Ms Baksh we are dealing with grown-ups who must know when things are a little awry. Additionally, it seems to me that your sensibilities are really only offended when you address the question of Sarwan's statements concerning Brian Lara (is it just coincidence, or is it that you just happen to hail from Trinidad and Tobago just as Mr. Lara?). Evidence suggests that Mr. Lara was not the best at interpersonal relationships. Why should be believe that Sarwan is being less than hnest in his assessment? Why should we believe that the former Board controlled by Ken Gordon (himself a Trinidadian) did not play petty politics with our cricket? Remember, it was he who "asked" Mr. Lara to resume the captaincy as soon as he took office. Coincidence? Perhaps, but methinks not.

Hello V Bakash.The game of cricket is one of the greatest game in the world . It is a gentlemans game We as cricketers and fans should give more respect to such a great sport.As per W I cricket today we have gone a long way backwards.I dont think we would ever have a Gary Sobers or a Wes Hall ever again with the attitude our cricketers have today.As for Sarwan he is a good player . If he wants to be a great player he has to make an all round change .Respect Capatins Really train both mentally and physically and pray to God every day.Please let us all work together and bring back cricket to the level it once was .I dont no what Ken Gordon was doing .Iam glad he is out.He should have gone fishing a long time ago .Tank you for the oppertunity . Peace and Love . Sam Singh New York..516 455 4660....

Hi my name is ryan,i'm guyanese,and sarwan is guyanese,but truely he is a chatter box.I dont like the guy for the things he does,at times i thing he is too big for the game of cricket.i'm 17 years of age and i can tell what indisipline is{that is sarwan}.He is a talented player, why he does these horibble things he he does.
your sincer
Ryan Banwarie

There is always enough blame to go around. However when it is all said and done. The players have to follow instructions and be held accountable for the lack of fitness and professionalism They want to paid like Superstars but train like LOSERS. They would do well to emulate TIGER WOODS. He is the best and he trains like the best. A great round of golf or great win for him,does not mean it is ok to stop practicing or listening to your coaching staff. These players all want to be Brian Lara but they cannot stand the RESPONSIBILITIES that comes with greatness.

the question each westindian player should ask themselves is this what would i be doing if i could not play cricket ,how else could i make a living ,the players are all about the bling and money they have no interlectual substance ,they should show some pride and thank god for cricket

how could Sarwan feel surprised about being dropped.Doesn`t he realise that batsmen are supposed to score runs,look at his test average

Sarwan is saying it as it is. Remember Chris Gayle also saying his piece. Players need to do this and not bow to those power hungry administrators (who by the way did not play Test cricket) whims and fancies.

It's time that the players understand it's not the coaches who are playing, so they should take responsibility for ALL of their failings. It's time they put out or shut up.

I think it is a combination of both coach and players...the board as well,not having enough professional approach to their respective functions.

I READ A FEW ARTICLE FROM YOU,SO CALL FREE LANCE JOURNALIST AND ALL YOUR TOPIC IS SARWAN,I DON'T THINK THE TERM CHATTERBOX FITS HIM WELL.I THINK YOU SHOULD FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO BE YOUR HOT TOPIC LIKE "GANGA" FROM CAPTAIN TO NOT A PART OF WI TEAM

I don't believed in the blaming game. I believe in personality responsibility.

Each Player need to take ownership of their game!
Play as if your life is sitting on the line.

Blaming others for your failures, sure puts you on the line! A question of guilt always sits on others mind.

BC.. said he did it his way! That I will never subscribe to! There are 11 Members of the team if you are the captain and you keep doing it your way! I can see the hate that breeds. Motto: More of others less of me.

These West Indian players want to be world beaters but they don't want to do what it takes to become champs.All they're interested in are material things,brand names and style without substance.They're not prepared to sacrifice and work hard even if it does'nt involve blood sweat and tears.How are they going to achieve the success to comes through hard work? Unless these pretenders change their attitudes,WI cricket is going to suffer for decades to come.

Time is a ladder from which one does not ascend into the future but descends down to the past.For the last decade or so,we, have seen a lot of transmogrification in the brevity of the west-indian folklores.The people are stil struck on the insipid tale of "who is wrong and who is not".leaving behind the whole tell-tale of their cricketing antiquities,they are having a duel between themselves like petty school-childern.Be it politics or bad managing staff:whats the use of bringing the so-called turbulence into the picture of players who leave alone concentrate on there own games,cannot even realise the act they are engaged into,or,the privilege they have been provided with by playing for there past starry eyed west indian team.
i guess and i really hope for the change to come,and hope that the likes of gary sobers,clive lloyds be all preserved with the utmost amount of gratitude and respect.After all its just "hope" that is the pope of all the rest of the hopes.lets hope for a defining metamorphic change.cheers!!

I blame both the players and the management. West Indies cricket administrators should not have allowed cricket to get to this point.

sarwans comments wont help the game in windies and if he fails as a batsman it might backfire at him.

I can barely think of one name in the last twenty years who could and did bat like brian lara in test cricket. In spite of breaking most records and having to consistently play surrounded by mediocre batsman, he raised his game to the highest level. How much longer will people keep blaming him for west indie's cricket ills? As for sarwan being dropped let's see

his averages in tests in pakistan-20.33
in india -27.60
in australia-18.16
vs. new zealand-24.60

He averages 49 and 112 against zim and bangladesh and still manages a career average of only 38.76. Hmmmm, I wonder why he was dropped!!!!!

Lara was so unfairly dropped before the series against england and announced his retirement before the selectors could sack him. And these weirdos think Lara being gone is the answer to West indies problems. LOL, if west indies can win one away test in the next two years(other than zim and bangladesh) I'll eat my words.

Sarwan as captain should be held accountable for his statement and thus, he should describe what he means by King being the worst coach! Is he referring to King's personality or King's coaching methods or both? Can he (Sarwan) describe what was horribly wrong and why? Can he say what he would have preferred to be done differently, why and how? If he was asked to select a coach for his team who from the pool of qualified coaches he would select?

Why do i see a parallel between windies players complaints to those of what indian players did at Greg Chappell. Perhaps these players expect to be molly coddled and the ozzies are strict drill masters....?

This not just a coach/player problem. This was something that had been brewing for many many years through a lackadaisical board.

These same players lack the discipline that our former players had. The cricketing landscape has changed. Where once players could play first class cricket in England they can no longer do so and with a poor regional system it leaves our players technically weak.

The current players also don't seem to understand that playing against England or Australia is the pinnacle. I remember hearing some years ago that the very same Sarwan said he saw playing against England was "just another series". These players don't play for the thrill or the kill, they play for money and money alone. They can't understand why it was so important to beat England.

As long as the board doesn't change to create a more competitive playing environment then we'll stay where we are.

If, the employee does not respect his employer than there wont be any work done.As for coaches they has the sole responsibility to get their team in a wining condition. All blame is rest on the coach when his team loses.
As for discipline,What's going to happen in the Gayle case?What are we going to say we need him?.
That's the root of our problem.
And Lara,was for Lara.When he made runs,we lose.

Too much is made out of this Sarwan fiasco. Everyone has the right to express their views on any particular situation.
This state of WI cricket rest directly with the WI cricket board of control. They sadly lack communication skills. This has filtered down the chain. Don't blame Sarwan.
Lara, Sarwan, Ganga or Gayle - whoever is chosen to lead a team must not only be good at batting or bowling. These are important but the most important are these qualities:
Good communicator
Excellent leadership qualities
The ability to influence the thinking and behaviour of people
Be able to lead while maintaining control.
Many of us think we are leaders but the fact remains the we can't even force a toad to hop.

Both Sarwan and Samuels have demonstrated time- after-time their lack of discipline and purpose. These players are paid very well. They need to be fit and fully prepared to eat right, train hard and put on their best performance. They need to EARN their pay.
Wasn't Lara the "water boy" on his first tour to England when the EXPERTS felt he was too young to play.

I first saw the WI play in Australia in 1968 as a young lad. I have followed WI cricket since. I have noticed major shift in attitude since the early 1990's. It is like the players feel they are above the game and can do what they want when they want to, irrespective of the effect on the team. Many of the players feel they are bigger and more important than the team and they shouldn't have to do what the others do. Lara was a classic. Samuels, Sarwan, Gayle and others also fit into this category. They are more concerned for themselves than the team and WI cricket. Many of those very players have as much potential as many of the previous great WI players but it is attitude that finally shows whether you make it or not. These guys all fall short. The likes of Sobers, Lloyd, Richards, Walsh, Marshall, Hall, Holding, etc have all expressed some disappointment with the players of the recent era. The guys of the 1990's and 21st century that I have named [and some others not named] are not interested in the best for WI cricket or the team. If they were they would be committed to their own fitness and their attitude would be one of seeking to give their all for the team all the time and not playing for themselves or their averages or the money. WI cricket somehow needs to find a way through this or it will continue to drop further behind the rest in Test cricket. Politics must stop affecting decisions being made. The coach needs to be given freedom to prepare the team in what he feels is the best way and then is supported by the WI board. WI players have become too big for their boots, or put another seemingly bigger than the game/the team. You can't win the game of cricket that way. If Sarwan continues as captain he must lead by example and get serious about conditioning and a work ethic so different to his past years in cricket. Otherwise step aside now and let someone else lead the team who will give his all for the team - like Walsh did.

The WI players should be made to read the comments coming in from WI fans. They will soon see that blaming the coach, Board etc is not fooling the WI public. Mouthings such as recently reported from Sarwan are only intended to deflect the fact that this current generation of WI players dos not want to put in the work necessary to perform at the highest level. They want to be paid like proffesionals but be allowed to perform like amatuers.
Mr Sarwan, if you don't perform (do your job) in the real world you get fired. Think about it.

I have read quite a few of the letters about Sarwan's comments.I find it rather interesting just how many people are for or against what is reported that He said,also the Writer of the article.Friends,I would just ask that we all calm down,and realise that Cricket is a wonderful game,the Championship goes around. We had a very long time of being the Best team in the world,and now the mantle is past on to another Nation.I do not like it,but that's the reality. What I am sad about,is that when we were at the top,our Administrators did not invest in our Game and put in place that which was needed to produce more Brilliant Cricketers to fill the places vacated by the Greats of our Team of the Seventies and Eighties.This was shortsitedness, hence our demise so dramatically.As of now we have a wonderful opportunity, to build on the Legacy of the world Cup.I am looking forward to see that the Administration,takes up the challenge,make the necessary changes and I believe that our wonderful Talents will come through,and make West Indies Great again.Keep the Faith friends,and encourage our lads,do not stand for slackness,soon our Team will be world Beaters again.Stay Blessed.

Training and respect for authority are a must for the players and the game. No one is bigger than the game as Kippins would say. Remember, the more one trains, the more his luck improves.

west indies players have to forget about the money. play hard cricket, play for pride.like in the 70s, 80s and early 90s.

Both players ,coach and the wibc are resposible for this downfall in discipline senior players began showing indiscipline and were excused because of their excellent contribution to the team, this did not happen overnight with sarwan or King this situation was building up for years but blinded by performance when west indies cricket hit the bottom then we all decided oooops something is wrong!

For the players quit complaining and begin playing cricket, show stats then complain.
