Appointment of Chris Gayle as WI Captain

Well so much for my previous article regarding the captaincy of the West Indies Team. I mentioned that I thought the appointment of Darren Ganga as captain following the injury to Ramneresh Sarwan was a positive move. I believe he has the skills needed to be a good captain and that he appointment was a good number of years late.
Anyway so much for what I think. The WICB and the selectors proceeded to rubbish my thoughts. There was an apparent disagreement between them as to who should captain the West Indies for the ODI's and also the 20/20 matches. Should it be Darren Ganga or Chris Gayle? The WICB, and quite rightly so, thought Ganga should be captain (though it appears that not everyone on the board agreed). The selectors felt slighted as their choice of captain Gayle was rejected by the WICB. There was a stand-off! The selectors then threatened to resign and therefore a special meeting of the WICB was called to rectify the matter. The result of all this was that Ganga was rejected as captain and sent home from the tour and Gayle was appointed captain for the ODI's and 20/20's.
Well no sooner than he was appointed Gayle goes to his online diary at cricinfo (see http://blogs.cricinfo.com/sg_tourdiaries/archives/2007/06/looking_forward_to_some_action.php)I hear and blasts the WICB on a number of issues. Now whether his talking out is right or wrong you decide. But I believe the good old rule of thumb applies here, it is not what you say but how you say it. The bottom line is that Gayle as captain can say what he wants to but he has to be very careful about how he says it. He said what he said on cricinfo the wrong way and now based on what I heard on BBC radio this morning the WICB ( see - http://content-wi.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/299674.html)had now put him on a short leash. The WICB say they will deal with him when the tour is concluded and also any further infractions on his part on tour will be met with severe sanctions. What sort of example has he set for the team already?
This is why I preferred Ganga as captain. Captaincy is more than just performance. There are other intangibles such as good interpersonal skills, insight, discernment and more. Go back to Brian Lara - the best batsman the world has ever seen, but no good as a captain. He just did not have the intangibles. Gayle lacks these skills as well and therefore should not be captain.
