***Official*** West Indies in India 2014

[WindieWeathers]

My jaw is on the floor reading WW's last few posts. But that's partly because I fell off my chair laughing.

Yep...no answer and toddler politics continues

I'm surprised.

 

[Dan]

was he called in the ipl?

Repeat

was sunil narine called during the ipl season?

No, but he is banned from playing in future editions of the event until his action is deemed clean by the BCCI.

So the WICB 'hurting' the BCCI by banning Narine's participation (assuming they can convince Narine to follow that decision) cannot possibly actually cause harm to the BCCI, given they've already banned the bloke anyway.

Hobart Hurricanes v KKR, semi-final, CLT20, Hyderabad : Sunil Narine banned from bowling in CLT20 final | Cricket News | Champions League Twenty20 | ESPN Cricinfo

The bowling ban will not affect his West Indies duties, though - it is confined only to the Champions League T20 and other BCCI-organised tournaments, including the IPL.

Let me give you another analogy...Steven Gerrard gets yellow carded in the FA cup for diving. So does that mean everything he's done in the premiership should be written off because of what happened in the FA cup? both are ran by the FA!!..but it's two different competitions.

He wasn't called in the damn ipl so his achievements in that comp should not in anyway be linked to the champions league fiasco.

Seriously I've given you the answer, as has everyone here.

Seriously WW, I do feel sorry for you and other WI supporters. If this was happening to NZ Cricket I'd be at my wits end myself. But I seriously think you should leave the forum for a few days until you've calmed down and had time to take stock.

Don't be condescending. I'll tell you like i tell others..don't like my posts? please put me on ignore. Because quite frankly you've been disrespectful at times of late and like i said i'm not tolerating the personal gibes anymore. Take it or leave it...i really don't care.

Thanks for answering...as clearly the others were too busy trying to throw darts to just give a simple answer ..So he wasn't called in the ipl so therefore his achievements in the ipl shouldn't be questioned right? that's all i was saying but of course my detractors refused to comprehend and instead chose to score points.

As for Narine..they screwed him over already Dan...i know people close to Sunny and he's feeling very bitter apparently!!..he's actually one of those who i think the board can work with as i think he'll be keen to get his international career back on track before anything else..starting with the world cup. Right now he's said to be working on his action with Saqlain so hopefully things will be sorted out.

 

[WindieWeathers]

smh i still can't believe someone doesn't know the difference between being CALLED DURING the ipl and being BANNED from the ipl!!..lord have mercy!! .

I lol'd

Yeah tbf to you everybody has been missing the point you've made there -- even if, IMO, the argument following that point is completely misguided.

Everything you said there is all well and good, but given the ICC banned him, isn't that a pretty clear message that they believe the Champions League (and IPL) aren't going to be adversely affected if Narine stopped being a part of it? Logically, that suggests that the IPL isn't suddenly going to stop being a cash cow if Andre Russell doesn't show back up either; if they're willing to ban (arguably) the best bowler in the competition, then losing a bit-part all-rounder who is useful in the format, but can easily be replaced by Ben Cutting is hardly going to register concern with the BCCI.

 

[cnerd123]

Don't be condescending.

I lol'd again.

Love ya WW. No one has ever made me laugh so much on a forum before.

...I have no words.

 

[duffer]

That's your opinion...i don't believe the big bash is better than ours at the current time. Plus like i said we've got talent from all over the globe..SA, Pakistan, Bang, SL etc!!..players left in the cold by the likes of IPL and these players play with a determination and spirit that creates good matches.

Pieterson
Philander
Sangakara
Ross Taylor
Shakib
Murali
Hafeez

All those play in the CPL..quality players.

Sangakara and Murali can play in the IPL can't they? Even is they couldn't, the CPL featuring no Indians is a bigger loss than the IPL without anyone from the West Indies.

We've had our differences in the past but let me say thank you!!..i hope the mods have taken note of this childish behaviour being thrown my way..they tried to make out like i was some kind of "mad person"..but like i said they have comprehension issues...especially the troll above who can't stop quoting my posts.

I think you mean he was banned from the bcci right? as he has been banned from the icc in his career. But anyway concerning the ipl...many indian fans on their forums speculated that the BCCI link to the CSK ownership may have played a role in why Narine was a target...but i digress.

Maybe they are just arrogent enough to think he will come running back Dan? who knows..the fact is the Caribbean is one of the leading cricket nations when it comes to producing T20 talent..right now the BCCI's actions are leaving a bad taste in many west indians mouths..and if the relationship is forever soured then of course the board will do all it can to guide our youngsters away from that sideshow.

Smith
Dwayne Bravo
Pollard
Sammy

may not have an international career soon...so tbh the IPL will be welcome to them. The real news will be whether the board decide to keep their contracts ticking over and don't give them the noc.

 

[cnerd123]

Dan is such a sweetheart.

None of us missed WW's point, we are just all surprised that he would go on and on about how the IPL would miss Narine, but completely overlooks the fact that Narine is banned from the IPL anyways. Similarly he feels that somehow the WICB has the ability to ban Pollar, Gayle etc from playing the IPL, or that these guys will somehow overlook million dollar contracts to play for a lot less money, in weaker leagues, for a board and administration that treats them poorly. He also overlooks how Narine and Gayle have already picked IPL over country in the past, and thus are likely to do so again. Not to mention he somehow feels these players are central to the IPLa success and are irreplaceable. Its just awful, bizarre, and frankly hilarious reasoning.

On top of that, he posts with an obnoxious and condescending attitude and threatens to report people who call him out on being an idiot. Just makes it that much funnier IMO.

1. you've been reported again for using personal gibes

2. if i'm causing you so much stress WHY DON'T YOU IGNORE ME? i'm giving you the perfect way out..just pretend i'm not here!!..i will not respond to your posts either!!..the deal is on the table and i hope you comprehend it this time.

 

[cnerd123]

I think he means me duffer. My unwavering admiration of his remarkable posting seems to be rubbing him the wrong way.

 

[WindieWeathers]

If that's about me then please do one.

Not you or Bahnz

You dont cause me stress love. You make me laugh. I'd never ignore you. Maybe if you read my posts more closely you would understand that Smh

 

[marc71178]

LOL yes because any young talent will seriously quit international cricket for the IPL? don't make me laugh!!...

Only an extension of what Narine's already done...
