Win-win position for someone

Chris Gayle is reappointed captain according to Cricinfo who have the safety valve of "reports' in their headline. You can never be sure who is pulling a faster one with news coming from those parts. Not after the fake Klassless jet-engined leaguemaster's story.

If he performs well and the team performs well, it will be touted as magnanimity of someone instead of a backing down.

If Gayle fails, or loses the series....

I leave the rest to your imagination.

We have seen how it works in that region. Recently, there were calls for Ganga to be capatin blowing in from the TT region while another wind exploded in from the minor islands, called Dots in local parlance, for Sammy's elevation to skippership of the West Indian boat. Then there are the opinonated hordes of West Indian MB expats...dollar and pound eating hexperts who begrudge a man making a little more, while they themselves fawn over their gleaming bimmers in countries far from the ones they abandoned.

And finally, there is the man who wielded a stubborn stick...it could suddenly turn cleft around Chris's neck if Gayle slips.
