WICBC successfully sued by it's title sponsor for double dipping with Sanford

The rejection by the board of recommendations from various reports charged with improving WI cricket.

In reply to goofballs

That certainly should have been at the top of the List , but it seems that the author of this Post , is only fixated by the Players only .

This obviously makes me believe that he is an agent of the Worst International Cricket Board ; in the World ; aka the WICB .

I am fully cognizant of the fact that Freedom of Speech is one of the most cherished possessions that People who live in " Democratic Countries have .

In reply to POINT

What are you smoking?

This is meant as satire

In reply to black

Satire or not, our colleague POINT just can't pass up an opportunity to lambast the WICB, even if it makes him as redundant as the phrase "old adage".

Marlon Black (not related) left for dead by teammates during bar room brawl

In reply to juno_4045

My only visit to Guyana in decades, watching cricket live at the stadium, had to be ruined.
There was some PNC guy, Basil somebody, with whom had some interesting, wide ranging, stimulating conversations through the course of the match.
Wouldn't have known he was PNC!

In reply to black

Son, Marlon got beaten. His teammates, including Mr. Wavell HindS ran left him



WHAT A SKUNT!

In reply to black

the other way around, they ran and left him and it was in the street

Pollard and Bravo dropped for world cup

Was just watching a replay if the recent WI /SA and saw Nurse playing! (Yep - I know he is from B/dos)

In reply to dax

Even Sammy.

Biggest one: Fielding a team, especially (most) that did not have the best players of the region.

I remember when I first started watching cricket (again) and heard ke Zimbabwe opted out of test cricket declaring that they realized that they were not up to standard to be competitive in tests.
Most admirable, noble, courageous!

In reply to VIX

anybody care to guess exactly when Rose and Lara first clashed

In reply to black

Certainly, "Tayrol" must make it into any list of embarrassments.

In reply to JayMor

The person that sewed it on should be shot

In reply to black

I wouldn't have put that shirt on. For a proud "St Bessian" like him, I was surprised he donned it.

In reply to JayMor

That kind of stuff should never happen in a professional organization

Uniform should have been checked out way before the actual game

2. Captain Sarwan's wife-beater and sandals (flip-flops) clad pitch inspection at Sabina Park. This while his Brit counterpart Straus was all decked out in his well tailored mother England Blazer.
