Rally round the WEST INDIES.

As the west Indies make another attempt to retain the respect gained in AUSTRALIA in 1960_61,it looks like a lost cause.I have been following them giving the IPL A MISS BUT Shannon Gabriel disinterested with hands in pockets as the bowler is bowling is hardly inspiring.The work ethic has all gone.A debutant at Lord's on the second morning should be perked up. It does not lok to be inconsistent why a host of players are in India when they should be in ENGLAND.The commitment is missing and it is convenientthat IPL is available to them.Playing for the regional team is hardly a priority for many as they hardly bring in money or make them a brand which the selection for the Indoan team does ad in India.So much so that not havong played for Indoa keeps ypu as journeymsn in the IPL. The saving grace is that the IPL and smaller t20 leagues will keep people playing cricket in the Wesy Indies.
