Those wily Windies…  November 7, 2005  Corey Collymore's weird
wicket celebration caused a stir at the Gabba. West Indian
officials said it was a hand gesture Collymore, Fidel Edwards
and Pedro Collins had adopted to signify that all three are from
the same village in Barbados. We've exercised our right to not
believe them. Following on from captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul
renting out his cheekbones to a sponsor, it's understood
Collymore was carrying out a new subliminal style of non-ambush
marketing, known as sniper marketing. Adding a new twist to the
feud between Digicel and Cable & Wireless, it's believed
Collymore has been signed up to drop hints about the other
mobile phone company sponsoring this series, 3. In a time of
ever-increasing product endorsements, plans are also afoot for
Chris Gayle to start plugging NoDoz, while Chanderpaul is to be
the face of a public awareness campaign for those afflicted by a
belief that the square leg umpire is about to bowl to them.
