    Excedllent comment in a guardian article by a commenter called "Bumboclart", who is a fierce critic of WICB, and is known to have inside knowledge through West Indian cricket sources of happenings in ICC. It seems like in 2007-08, WI were lured to a tour of England(Test tour) by offering money to the WICB. England had to do this because they had a gap in the schedule because they refused to entertain Zimbabwe. It seems like WICB forced Gayle and others to hurriedly assemble for this tour, which affected their IPL Commitments, which ahd been pre-planned assuming no such tour in the horizon. Yet, the English press painted Gayle as the villain, and cornered him into saying "I dont care if Test Cricket dies", which were essentially made as a reactionary statement by Gayle. And they conveniently painted IPL and BCCI as the villains of the piece killing test cricket by luring Gayle into playing IPL just tow days before the England tour of Windies starts.
    Suc
    h is their cunning and villainy. The real villains of the piece were ECB there. But since they espouse test cricket, avanga enna azhichaattiyam vENA paNNalAm. Feeyar will support. namma enna incident sonnAlum "pooh avLO dhAnA", "idhukku proof irukkA"-na vENdiyadhu.


    You can look up the net on how this tour wasnt part of the ICC FTP and was horned in by England after they candelled the Zim tour. Circumstantial evidence supports bumblocart.

    Note: Gayle and co didnt receive any extram payment for this extra tour by WICB. ECB never bothered for nyaayam and dharmam there. English press never bothered for facts there. They jus painted England as saviours of test ciricket, and Gayle as a villaun of the piece who was foregoing a test commitment for IPL

    If you refuse to understand there is little I can do.
    You have gotten it into your head because that my support for England is because I think ECB is a knight in shine in armour defending the game's interests. No.

    Bolded part is your incessant, consistent, unsubstantiated prevarication calculated to incite the lay reader into a strong disfavour against yours truly.

    Flay: Tomorrow England will do x,y,z if it so suits them
    I yam: Quite possible and that would not be a bad thing, necessarily

    I don't like chucking. It fundamentally changes the game as I know it.
    Any legislation that helps keep things as they are, gets my support.

    Tomorrow if there is a legislation revokes the recognition of T20 as admissible cricket format, I'll throw you all a grand party

    Despite the distinct possibility of all the above allegations happening, should Gayle have reneged on his lucrative IPL contract for a chance to play for WI - is what it boils down to. ECB forced WICB to force Gayle to be unprofessional, which naturally pissed him off - is your karuththu. You have rightly anticipated my take. ennadA periya T20, ennadA periya professionalism.
    Now if Gayle had been forced to play some Eng-WI T20 instead of IPL, I guess my reaction would be ambivalent. adhai namburadhum nambAdhadhum unga ishtam.

    Again and again and again - all my reactions are just based on the game.

    ECB extends qualification period for foreign-born England players

    The decision has been taken before the main Test series of the summer, during which will several SouthAfrica-born England players line up against their native country.


    The new regulation will apply to all players who take up residency in England after their 18th birthday. Those who arrive before the age of 18 will have to wait only four years.

    An ECB spokesman said: “It is an attempt to try and support England-qualified players. There is a lot of investment in player pathways from the bottom upwards. This is a move designed to support our system.”
    The ECB has retained discretion to reduce the residency period to four years for players born in a non-Test playing nation, which would apply to Irishmen such as Somerset spinner George Dockrell and Middlesex batsman Paul Stirling.
    expected with falling spin stocks
