Success at forcing fellow team mates into retirement count?
In reply to cricketmygame

In reply to WestDem
Could count as motivation

Buying and renting houses is sort of a business
In reply to Dan_De_Lyan And it have a good bit on international business law to understand too
In reply to allan
A couple a rum shops and small bakeries is sorta business too you know- man have to eat and drink so constant success there
Famously aloof, but remarkably entrepreneurial, Lara realised he could kill many birds with one stone by hosting massively hyped Carnival parties at his Chancellor Hill mansion in Trinidad. He is the type locals would call a Carnival baby, and he knew that people would pay handsomely to say they had been to his house and partied up close to him
Those events were such a success that he soon extended his Carnival spirit to the mid-year Crop Over in Barbados, where he hosts similar ones at his Ebworth Plantation in St Peter. His annual fetes have become calendar musts for the socially mobile, and take a sizeable chunk of his time. Thats part of the post-cricket image that Lara has invested in heavily as he seeks to reposition himself and to ensure that he loses none of the opportunities offered by his fame as a batsman.

Success in what? Management? Business? What success does Cameron have? What about Hunte who was a Diplomat who followed the instructions of his Government?
What about Wes Hall?
Look at ALL the Directors of the WICBandits and ask that question.
In reply to bobby
and all of them were one failure after the other
Hall was a minister in Barrow/ Sandi gov't .
I don't think if he was not successful the Dipper would kept him around.
Ken Gordon was a former CEO of a successful caribbean wide public company and a former cabinet minister. He certainly struggled with the governance of wicb and was unable to implement any reforms with respect to board appointments.
Without significant structural reform to break the parochial control of territories no president is likely to succeed.
Nobody should serve on wicb and a territorial board at the same time and the majority of directors should be independent not delegates of territories..

Hunte was reported to own Insurance business in his country.
In reply to brians_da_best
staging an event does not equate to success (financial) ,why not give us some figures?
In reply to camos
Don't think figures are in the piblic domain, but lara is rich.
And don't forget LAY, the company he started with Dwight. They turnover a lot

Barrow died in 87, so he would have only had a year with Hall at most.
Re business credentials, I believe "Butch" Stewart would struggle with the present West Indies Board structure.
In reply to nissan
my reference was to state that Hall had some form of managerial experience
I agreed, even Buffet, Gates and the POINT will have trouble with this organization.
even the miracle worker from Galilee
In reply to brians_da_best
Really? How rich?
How much is a lot?
In reply to brians_da_best
if Lara was ever given a board apt, he will probably do worse than Hunte and Cameron..
He will appoint Dwayne or Pollard as VC in the test team to Ramdin... and create a bigger cabal in the team than current..
In reply to bobby
Dude Hunte grew a small shipping business into a large one with caribbean affiliates, also ran a law firm and understands both business and criminal law, also owns a construction and hardware parts business since the 70s, has been a Lloyds and Royal Insurance affiliate for over 50 years. Has had between 75- 100 people under his employ and the old ones still getting their pensions. Why would one question his business experience in both law and administration regardless of his few mistakes if any at WICB? They guy first learned his craft after law school on london before most of us were born.
In reply to tc1
WICB is totally a political entity fronting as a sports franchise. Listen I ran budgets and staff and departments handling 40 times WICB revenue and expenses and I couldnt sort that nuthouse out. Well I could but....
In reply to doublecentury
You got that right! WICB needs to be scrapped and rebuilt as a modern day franchise.
In reply to Kay
The question is not how much, but "any success" and based on some of the replies the answer is obviously YES.
Is success "away from the pitch" relevant to managing the product "on the pitch"?
