Not so tweet Mr President

WEST Indies Cricket Board president Dave Cameron’s fondness for the use of social media has repeatedly revealed his arrogant belief in his own invincibility.
At the height of the team’s premature exit from the tour of India in October, for which the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) pointedly blamed him and his board, he defiantly tweeted: “They’ve criticised you. They’ve doubted you. They’ve lied on you. They’ve done all they can do, but one thing they can’t do is stop you.”
As the players finally carried out their forewarning that they would abandon the tour, he used Facebook to state that “it felt like an act of terrorism”.
These were publicly expressed opinions unbecoming of a leader of the region’s most cherished institution.
