Trouble in the captaincy camp

We have seen official WICB documentation showing that the West Indies selectors want to nicely ask Darren Sammy to step aside for the upcoming series against India. Clyde Butts and Robert Haynes told the CEO to approach the board of directors and discuss a new captain but, strangely, that information has not been passed to the WICB directors. Joel Garner for one has not heard about this. Is Dr Hilaire trying to avoid the inevitable? Watch this space 😉

By the way, congratulations to Shiv Chanderpaul for his recall to the Test team to face Pakistan.

Andy Bull from the Guardian is officially a WICB Exposé soldier.

For the last fortnight I’ve been turning over that exact question while looking through the pages of a remarkable blog – WICB Exposé. If it is genuine, then this is a site that really could change the game. Unlike most bloggers, the person behind WICB Exposé appears to have inside information. Lots of it. In fact they seem to have the kind of information that a lot of journalists could only dream of, and more tellingly, that the few who could access would feel compelled to sit on for fear of alienating the source that gave it to them in the first place.

If you’re at all interested in the runnings of West Indian cricket, you can kiss goodbye to the couple of hours of your life you’re about to spend going through this site. They claim to have Ottis Gibson’s official report on West Indies’ performance in the World Twenty20 last year. And damning reading it makes too.

There are other soldiers spreading the word about our project here and here. Salute!
