Test team should build around Chanderpaul - Gibbs

"We then fly out to India on the 25th ahead of a busy schedule there.

We will be playing a three-day warm-up fixture, two Tests and three ODIs "

"Then off to New Zealand.

There we play three Tests and five ODIs "

" We the welcome England to the Caribbean in March for another one-day series."    :

"I will be heading to Derby to join back up with Derbyshire."  ::LOL::

In other words no time to build around me, me too busy

huh ?

They have him for 5 Tests ...

then they go back to ODIs of which he was Spitefully eliminated ! 

you seriously think West Indian admin understood what Gibbs said?  They probably laughing at the "ole man" ::

In fairness to WI admin, they have not shown Shiv the door yet in tests---they showed him the door in onedayers---but he is still around in tests.

Anyway, as long as Shiv keeps performing as he has since 2007---in 47 tests since Jan 2007 Shiv has scored  4094 runs at an average of 70.58 with 14 hundreds and 21 fifties---as long as he keeps performing---and as long as the young players remain average or mediocre----WI admin will be compelled to keep Shiv in the test team.

But if the young players magically start firing---doing well in tests----then it will be lights out for the great man.
