If you dont like WIPA... start your own

organization... Get the majority player support and overthrow WIPA as the default union/player contract negotiator....

Simple and fair.

I am sure the majority of WI players will agree that a few players should make the majority of the ~$10 million the WICB pays out to players annually.

This has been going on for a few decades, but this contract shows arrogance.
Why would anyone give a similar contract to the same players that aborted a tour?

You either select the players that played after the Indian tour, or you get WIPA to negotiate with the vets.
A hearing was heard of that tour, no negotiation was done afterward, Bigb spoke about not wanting to play test, indicating the money has not change for that format, not you are issuing the same contract to the players, that refused to sign it before.
It may make sense to you, but it has to be arrogance from the WICB and WIPA.

Wipa can't renegotiate with the vets because the vets want nothing to do with wipa.

Did you expect Sammy, Bravo and others to sign a similar contract to the one they refused a year earlier?

 
FuzzyWuzzy 2016-02-10 16:12:21 

In reply to openning

It can't be the same contract as they're different events.

That said both sides should have made their position clear long time ago

These clowns were getting fans to buy into the Holder youth movement, instead of continuing on that path, they walk back with arrogance.

Sammy in his letter spoke of the money players earned in the last T20 WC, the Indian tour was aborted by money issue, get it right for fc-sake.
The vets are not stupid.
Jason Holder spoke about the ICC and the Big 3 after the Australian tour, it was about money
The WICB better wake up, or this young group maybe more militant than this lot.

The players selected met the selection criteria for T20. Would have been another human excrement storm if they did not pick the players.

Which battle would you rather fight?
