If the official Simmons memo/report to the WICB board that was leaked by a "very trusted source" to Cozier is true, it means that Pybus, the Englishman, has overruled and violated an agreement CARICOM had with the WICB- that there will be no grudges and fallout to any player over the India aborted tour.

Everyone knew Bravo and Pollard were being punished for the India fiasco but the WICB, recognizing the Caribbean publics as pussy cats, kept on insisting it was not so.

Now, we have Pybus own words to prove it, but where is the outrage in the West Indian media and in radio call in programs etc?

In reply to Emir

you notice Cozier is not concerned about 'lack of transparency' when he gets leaked info, he is only concerned when he is bypassed?

In reply to Emir

Really dude??? Alyuh really stretching

In reply to Emir
The out cry should have been made when the verbal "agreement" was made.

Its not victimization to marginalize a player who is demonstrably capable and motivated to destroy my business.

He maybe a good worker but his sum total is minus.

In reply to Blackbird

Where is the report that declares that Big Bravo and Pollard are solely responsible for what happened in India?

In reply to Blackbird

... is he then really a good worker?

In reply to Blackbird

I did not see a single statement in the WICB identified task force single out bravo or pollard for the strike.

Task force identified WICB and WIPA who are anyways never accountable for anything so let us leave them aside. The report referred to "The players" so in essence all the players shops have been banned. But only 2 are singled out. Who decided decided that they alone were responsible?

I disagree with you: The leaking of the Simmons report was good for the public and ironically, it provided transparency.

Now, did you ever believe the WICB was going to relaese Simmons report on their own?

If you do, I have a bridge to sell- great bargain price

In reply to Blackbird

The vast majority of people in thsi community deeply cares about the welfare of WI cricket. By your comments, it shows you are clearly on the side of the WICB- therefore you are part of the problem.

Madam, please do not let your hatred for Bravo and Polly blind you to supporting Cameron and the WICB-

Who police them and who are they accountable to?

aint it funny? for years Cozier used to bitch and moan about idiAdmin's inside info

They let Pybus do the Job , so that they can state that THEY personally , did not victimize any Players . The
problem with that Asinine idea , is that Pybus is their Employee ; not the other way around .

I do not recall anyone in the Region voting for Pybus to be a Member of the Board . Cameron & Co , like to
believe that the are Clever , but the whole Lot of them are the Dumbest Idiots that have ever governed Cricket in the Region .



Let me illustrate , Pulling the Plug
on the Tour to India was not only Reckless but Dumb . THEY bluntly refused to attempt salvaging the Tour
and left their Host with a Mountain of Debt .

The WICB for years has been Publicly at War with its Players . Obviously
perpetually doing this garners Bad Publicity , which scares away potential Sponsors . The fact that they are oblivious to this is Dumb .

The WICB for many years now has strongly resisted Changing the Structure of Cricket in the Region , despite various Reports that it has
commissioned telling them that . That
also is Dumb .

Now what I have stated above are not
figments of my imagination ; They are
Facts . Therefore there can be no dispute that those in the governance of Cricket in the Region are Dumb .

Jess laaf at Mr. sour grape 'not cozying up to the bandits' anymore..

The reason why Cricket in the Region is in its current state , is due to the fact that the Sacred Sports Scribes in the Region for years bluntly refused to
be personally critical of the Emperors in the WICBC .

They relish reporting what other state , they rarely if ever state ,
their own opinions . It is this lack of testicular fortitude that has embolden those in the governance of Cricket in the Region to bamboozle the General Public in the Region into believing that the Emperors in the WICBC are endowed with the power to do anything they want .

It is this thinking , why when the
Regional Governments politely asked the WICBC to implement the changes
recommended by the Patterson Report .
True to form the WICBC bluntly refused that Request .

Recently the Regional Governments asked for a Meeting with the WICBC ,
at first the latter refused . The
Bums apparently forgot that it was the Regional Governments who helped
them host the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the Region .

I call them Bums because they went to the Regional Governments with hat in hand , to use Taxpayers money to build & refurbish Stadia in the Region ; Spruce up the Grounds etc .
They own no Stadia in the Region , and they could not have hosted the 2007 World Cup without the assistance of Taxpayers money involvement via the Regional Governments .

The Regional Governments need to let them walk quietly into the night , not only on account of their Colossal Arrogance , Incompetence ; Ineptness
& Stupidity ; Its lack of Foresight &
Vision ; and its lack of Business Acumen . But looming above all the above is its Colossal Ungratefulness .

If you believe this serious issue is about TC's "sour grapes" then you badly.. badly uniformed.

WI cricket is in tatters courtesy of the WICBC and the only thing you can see is "sour grapes."
