Selectors Unravel Dauth Mystery
Following the reaction amongst the fans and media to the non-selection of
Red batsman Robert J. Dauth for the Cricket Web 'A' party touring the
Caribbean, the selection panel (at present, actively Neil Pickup, Andrew
Garven and Chairman Liam Camps) have felt the need to outline the reasoning
behind their final decisions.
Following the dis-harmony that struck the recent 'A' tour of the
sub-continent, it was felt that playing ability should not be the only
consideration in gaining International recognition, and that attitude also
played a critical part. Following Dauth's much-publicised off-field spats
with Green all-rounder and 'A' tourist Tarick Weber, the panel believed
that, whilst the Red batsman's talent was not in question, whether he would
prove to be mentally or emotionally capable of handling representative
cricket at 'A' team level - or acting as an appropriate role model - was
another issue.
The door is not shut for Dauth. The selectors still believe he has a future
playing at the very highest level for the country, however they hope that
this decision will aid his maturing into a better player and a better
person.
When asked about the decision to only take one specialist wicketkeeper, the
board felt that there were no other wicketkeepers whose form with either bat
or gloves had been strong enough to justify omitting another selection.

Weber says it all
by Jonny Bravo
After the CWBCC press release featuring Rob Dauth's exclusion from the A team sqaud Weber talks to reporter Johnny Bravo.
'I do not like to be involved in this statement of the CWBCC' although Weber adds 'im happy im on the right side of it, i think its a missed chance for the CWBCC board to exclude Dauth, he's one of the biggest talents around, and he does deserve to be here'
on Bennett's departure Weber says 'it's a real pitty Sean decided to leave us, he's a great allrounder and im a admirer of his one day abbilities with both bat and bowl' 'although Sean and me had some problems we're fine now, ive been talking a lot with him about him leaving the dev league and returning to his native country England, best luck to him, he will be missed but i seriously hope he reconsiders.'
On CW 'A' chances Weber reckons they could win it all. 'I'm not saying that we will win everything, but I do reckon we can win a lot. I really hope that we can get the pressure to the CW XI team, as I reckon it will only motivate them to win, which will higher the level of CW cricket.

Well he's not been banned, so as far as the CWBCC is concerned, he's just temporarily unavailable.

He's not given evidence of this recently. Since his post about potentially leaving the forum, he's posted just once, and that was a couple of days back.

LOL. Timewell didn't make a post threatening inactivity. Fear not young Bennett.steds said:
The last discussions of the Selection Panel saw you as one of a 17-man in the squad. The little avatar spat saw that changed to a 16-man squad. If you're actually back to normal service and it's okay with two of Neil/Andrew/Brendon/Andre, you'll be flown out to join the team.

As vice-captain he's best qualified to effectively stand in for Andre, who is out of the fray for the moment. The Panel will reorganized properly before Season 10.Jamee999 said:

1000 runs and a great season with the gloves not enough for Jasotharan. Looks like he's been filed under the "Dean Jones Category" to me...Mr Mxyzptlk said:
