Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means Gayle, Sarwan and Chanders scored exactly the same amount of runs as Devon, Ganga and Pagon?Mr Mxyzptlk said:

Except Pagon played this match, so your point doesn't stand.Samuel_Vimes said:Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means Gayle, Sarwan and Chanders scored exactly the same amount of runs as Devon, Ganga and Pagon?

No. That would make no sense at all. How does runscoring affect captaincy ability? Added to that, Chanderpaul scored 203 not out last game.Kumar_42 said:
Lara doesn't seem to want the captaincy that badly. In the post-match meet and greet he told the press he sees this as a challenge because now he doesn't have the captaincy as a crutch. It was rather amusing actually, as he said he now has to earn his place as a specialist batsman. That's the right attitude in my estimation.
He also said that at his age you never know when you'll your last Test is in front of the home crowd, so he's putting everything into every innings he plays.

I'm pretty sure they weren't calling him "an antiman" but I can't repeat what they were calling him.aussie said:

yeah they weren't calling him that, it was something else, but its just like saying antiman according to my relatives. I also heard that he doesn't like playing in guyana especailly because of thatMr Mxyzptlk said:I'm pretty sure they weren't calling him "an antiman" but I can't repeat what they were calling him.

hehe i see your pointNnanden said:Whaa? Just because you`re a good batsman, doesn`t mean you get the captaincy!
EDIT: Ah... it seems Liam read my mind. In advance.
Forgive me for posting that, especially in view of the fact that I don't really know much about the current situation. I just thought (evidently foolishly
) that if he scored runs and maybe played a crucial innings or something he might have 'proven a point' or something to the selectors showing how much he means to the team etc. Anyway, I think I'll stop digging a hole for myself here...
But perhaps now that he's relieved of his captaincy responsibility he might perhaps, with the dramatic reduction in pressure, score more freely and consistantly. I hope this is the case.
