i made this recommendation to lance gibbs on the very first day of the 2 day games w.indies/s.s.africa in d/ca and his response was “why?”. although his not part of the selection committeee, i guess he took note. sammy is a very patriotic player and he deserve a position like this. my support for him and his team is 100%.
