Permit Me Space To Rant
Can anyone tell me why Chanderpaul won the toss and chose to BOWL first! After watching the incredible Ashes series this summer, and more importantly the innovative and exciting captaincy of Michael Vaughan, I see that the ineptitude of the West Indies will continue for quite a while. We need a revolutionary captain - Sir Frank Worrell or Clive Lloyd.At the same time, the problems with the West Indies side are indicative of the problems in West Indian society, and it has been this way for quite a while.... The leaders of today are the products of the revolutions of 30-40 years ago, an intriguing time around the world and a time of rising conciousness. We are again in a time of rising conciousness, and hopefully cricket will act as an indicator.
Looking at the new wicketkeeper Ramdin and the all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, I am heartened for the future... however a LEADER is crucially necessary, my money is on Ramdin, but we'll keep on watching, even if we have to FOLLOW ON!
*Quote from the Michael Vaughn article above - trying to motivate a teammate, his teammate Graham Thorpe says:
"When it rains on one man's house, it rains on all our houses." It sounded profound but I'm not sure if anyone knew what he really meant...
That quote sounds very familiar and is oft used and the first thing that comes to my mind - So Much Things to Say, by Bob Marley, I hope our captain sees the bigger picture so clearly!
