Chris gayle quits...no he hasn't....yes he has...who cares?
I can't say that I am a real fan of West Indies cricket anymore.Ever since Brian Lara left there doesn't seem to be that much to watch now.Even though we had been doing bad for sometime at least there was Lara...but now?
Chanderpaul is an exceptional batsman,there is no doubt about that but I wouldn't go to cricket to see Chanderpaul bat.I still think of him as more of a supportive type of batsman not necessarily one that can win a match ...
West Indies cricket now is really just going through the motions...even the news doesn't generate any interest one my part-whether good or bad-I don't care if Chris Gayle resigns,I don't care if he opens,I don't care if there is a West Indies Cricket Board...I am just not interested.....
What still amazes me is the number of West Indies fans still in denial...serious denial
