(CRICKETWINDIES.COM)Sarwan was an exceptional, destructive batsman but spent the majority of his latter career in decline seeing his average plummet!

I certainly wish Sarwan well and, like all of us, know he was treated quite badly as was Chris Gayle.

What Sarwan failed to do was to let his bat do the speaking....with Leicester and when he was recalled. He looked a shadow of the Sarwan we all knew.

For me Ramnaresh did not show the mental toughness required to recover from his ill treatment and at the same time, it appears,  those around him managed him poorly. As a result West indies have lost out on one of the best West Indian batsman of the last 25 years.

Of all the batsmen to have emerged in recent times, Sarwan, in my view, is second only to the Great Lara.

Had Sarwan been managed more delicately, he would still be playing today and his average would have been pushing above 50 rather than, the very credible, final Test average of 40.

He was a broken man at Leicester, eventually leaving the team in the lurch after being named Captain. Having heard his interview on local radio, it was clear his treatment really knocked the stuffing out of this exceptional player. He had nothing more to give.

Go well Sars and thank you for your service to World Cricket.

As Trini noted above, between 2000 and 2009, Sarwan was remarkably consistant. No highs. No lows. Averaging between 35 and 50 every year with the exception of 2006 in which he averaged 29.53.

The WICB doesn't understand how different types of players develop and progress.

Sars would have been a 45-49ish averaging test player, and a 42-48ish ODI player (which is great in that format).

When you look at the career batting average graphs of players like him, it's almost always a slow, long-term increase. These guys start off in the 40s and climb slowly to the high forties over about 15 years.

The maverick, superstar players usually hit an average of 50 early in their career, and then dip wildly above and below that 50 average. Huge highs, huge lows; these are your Laras, your Steve Smiths and so on.

Then you have the Dravid/Chanders/Waugh styled grifters who maintain a 46-52ish average throughout their careers, never fluctuating too much.

You do not drop any of these types of players, unless you have a serious glut of talent waiting on the benches.

Carl Hooper's career average never rose above 40 by the way.

carl hoops  was a right-timish kind of player. for his ability level. he hit west indies at an    early ebb in its last flow and never encountered the competition for his place that wud have rendered him.

lucky player all the way :-[ :-[ :-[
