>The ill-fated captaincy of Shivnarine Chanderpaul came to an end last week with his resignation. Given his quiet and introverted nature, captaincy does not come easy to Chanderpaul, but the circumstances surrounding his appointment certainly did not help matters. In a time of unbridled selfishness in West Indies cricket, Chanderpaul’s decision was a sincere and altruistic step by a player who recognized that his greatest asset to the team – his batting – was suffering because of the burden of the captaincy, aptly described as a poisoned chalice. His detractors will argue that he chose to jump rather than be pushed. More to the truth, perhaps, is the recognition that, under the circumstances, it was a decision that was in his best interest and that of West Indies cricket.
