The incredible foolishness of Chris Gayle
What do you call a person who joins his national team on the eve of a Test Match with minimal preparation, just because he wanted to play an extra Twenty20 match for a club that stuffs his wallet with Dollars? What do you call a person who says he will resign the captaincy of his country on the eve of an important Test Match and then claims that he was misquoted? What do you call a person who says he would not be too sad if Test cricket died away as it would enable him to focus on the shorter (read, more profitable) versions of the game? What do you call a person who insists that Twenty20 is a huge success and games have been sold out in spite of dipping viewership and stands?
We call him Chris Gayle. Heaven help the West Indies. He is their captain.
