The West Indies have been Tori Spelling for ages.

But right at the moment they are a bit more Shannon Doherty.

One of the new shining lights is Xavier Marshall, a young whippasnapper plays with a real technique and a little steel.

He took the fight to the Australians, a couple of times, and he doesn't look like the usual young Windian batsman who is either afraid of shadows or thinks he is gods gift to batting when in truth he has a technique that makes coaches scream. 
With the West Indies getting so desperate they are choosing old queensland crackers, Xavier was the sort of cricketer that young West Indians could look up to. 

With that Xavier caught caught with an unknown, but probably green, illegal substance in his system. 
Knowing the culture of the West Indies they have a very realistic policy of Zero Tolerance. 

That should help. 
You would think at least he is looking at is a 12 month ban. 
This could be devastating for the kid, but he will still be 23 when he comes back. 
But should a 22 year old be kicked out of cricket for a year for smoking a joint?
Cricket has such a great history with grass, um, both kinds.
Tuffers, Beefy, Gunter, and Flem have in recent times improved their game with a smoke or two. 
I have advised other cricketers to do the same.
It's just a bit of grass, how many drunkards cricketers do we have?
Surely grass is a bigger part of the game than beer...www.cricketwithballs.com... Aussie Haiku straight to your box
