Do New Zealand drop Jesse Ryder or do they fly in experts? Is it carrot or stick for the errant wild child? Hamish McDouall in his blog Googlies and Grass Stains believes Ryder can be condemned, only if the culture that spawned him is corrected.
It’s got to come from Jesse himself. Jesse can either keep living the starlight lifestyle he does, and operate at less than optimum on the cricket field and be a minor folk hero - and be selected on his form not his potential; or deal with his addiction and become a truly great player - for everybody recognises his luxuriant talent.
