saneindian Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Didn't the WICB give them NOCs to play in the IPL? If the medical team hadn't cleared them, how come the WICB gave them the NOC they asked for?
Cricket Tragic Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 WI need to move on from Gayle. He is a complete waste of space.
Serani Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 WI need to move on from Gayle. He is a complete waste of space. He is also one of the best openers in the world, something that WI dont exactly have in abundance if we look at Devon Smith....

Sachinism Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Is Chris Gayle coming back? This is from Cricinfo's 'Plays of the day' The distraction of the day It came from Chris Gayle. Dressed in a white costume, he was seen in the stands sitting with Jerome Taylor. As the game progressed, he tweeted that he planned to move to the Trini Posse stands. As the game neared the end, Gayle was seen there, mixing with the crowd and posing for photographs. Christopher Barnwell then launched a massive six and the cheer-girls, standing in front of Gayle, swayed ever so joyously. Gayle smiled and waved a small white towel that he held in his hands. Was the white flag a sign that he has reached some compromise with the board? Hope floats. Then a few moments ago he tweeted this: WI Fans..Don't worry about a thing,cause every little things gonna be alright... @henrygayle
Sachin=GOD Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Seeing the plight of WI team the WICB might recall him.
Pagalpanti Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Don't think its a worry for us, he can bat only on roads. WI pitches surprisingly are having a lot of turn and bounce, Harbhajan and Ashwin will pwn them all.
Jersey #10 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 ^ ++ the guy has got some good dressing sense Only he can pull off what he was wearing
anish233 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 ya he was well-dressed.. hes a rockstar.. superstar of circket.. one of a kind.. really hope he can comeback and play...
Misu243 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 He won't make a difference...one man can't turn around an entire team. Windies team looks very bad right now. If the openers fire, the middle order will fail and if the bowlers fire, everyone else will fail. No consistency at all in Windies cricket...starting to look like Pakistan.
Sachinism Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Gayle all but out of Tests, career at stake too Kingston (Jamaica), June 16 (PTI): Rebel West Indian cricketer Chris Gayle's hopes of making it to the Test squad for the three-match series against India went up in smoke after a stormy meeting with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). Not only the Test series starting June 20, Gayle, in fact, has put his entire career in jeopardy after he declined the West Indies Cricket Board's request to retract the comments he made during a radio interview last month where he made remarks against WICB. Gayle was accompanied by Dinanath Ramnarine, president of the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) and vice-president Wavell Hinds, while the WICB was represented by its CEO Earnest Hilaire, cricket director Tony Howard, head coach Ottis Gibson and manager Richie Richardson at the meeting that lasted for four hours on Wednesday night. A source privy to the developments inside said the meeting turned out to be so acrimonious that Ramnarine at one stage was close to assaulting Hilaire. The ongoing tussle between WIPA and WICB turned ugly before the start of the Indian Premier League as Gayle, according to sources, wanted to commit himself to West Indies cricket only if the board was willing to compensate him for the money he was being offered in the IPL. The money offered to Gayle by Royal Challengers Bangalore was USD 800,000. Another major issue was that the WICB did not consider Gayle for captaincy because he did not sign the retainer contract with the board, while the player felt his not signing the contract shouldn't have affected his captaincy. The board, however, was adamant that it is important for a player to be part of the retainer contracts to be named captain. Gayle was not immediately available for comments while Ramnarine too left the meeting in a huff. During the meeting, WIPA wanted the WICB to facilitate the left-hander's return to the national team and to treat the comments made by the batsman in an interview to a Jamaican radio channel as his personal opinion. WICB, on their part, believed that Gayle had overstepped his brief and needed to retract his statement to restore the board's dignity. No further meeting between Gayle and the WICB is scheduled as of now. http://cricket.yahoo.com/cricket/news/article?id=item/2.0/-/story/cricket.yahoonews.com/gayle-all-but-out-tests-career-stake-too-20110616/
Roshanrocks Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Gayle, according to sources, wanted to commit himself to West Indies cricket only if the board was willing to compensate him for the money he was being offered in the IPL. The money offered to Gayle by Royal Challengers Bangalore was USD 800,000. Didnt Bengaluru call Gayle AFTER he was neglected by the WIndies board?
mishra Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 My simple understanding to whole episode is this. WICB wanted Gayle to play against Pakistan. Gayle wanted to play for IPL and was ready to skip it as long as he gets what IPL gave him last time around. Since Gayle wasnt auctioned WICB bit back.Soon IPL guys realised Gayle was available and WICB legally can not put a NOC on him, got him playing. In the mean time both the sides said whatever mirch masala media wanted..... I dont understand one thing. If it was case of maintaining discipline then how does one explains this.... WICB said that Gayle will be selected only after he meets WICB and clarifies whatever he said earlier on radio... Now chap has met, Clarified why he said what he said. They are saying to retract back... What guarantee is that WICB will be true to its words next time? For me Discipline issue is equally with WICB...
achilles Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Frankly, it is West Indies' loss if Chris is not retained. With the weak C-grade team they have at the moment, they will feel the pinch more than Chris will. WICB has the potential to turn into the next PCB.
rajmarie Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Guys...dont forget that WIPA......the WI cricket equivalent Al-Quida is also hurting the cricket in that region. They have their own hidden agenda. IMO..Gayle is a decent cricketer...but have no interest in WI. So he should take Symonds way. WI will do much better in the long run without Gayle. WI are so bottom in the ICC ranking.....& Gayle was with the team all along. What he did. WI will have to look at younger guys now & look at long run
