They are doing this all on their own- no TTCB or WICB input or support.

At a time when the youths in Trinidad are bombarded with crime, hopelessness and too much exposure to the poor aspects of popular culture, it is great to Samuel Badree and Co, take the lead to inspire the nation's youth.

The Cricket Boards in the Region & the
WICBC are to blasted Dumb to think about doing something like this .

Their only concern is about making a lot of Money so that they can spread the gray among themselves .

In reply to POINT

Dude, this kind of thing is done by most players in the region.
I know that Corey Collymore and others, usually visit schools and provide gears to the schools.
Kiddy's cricket is under the WICB Umbrella, with Scotia Bank being its sponsor.
Just some info for you.

So where are the freaking Boards on this Issue ??? Missing in Action . I
stand by my statement .Some people in
this Forum love defending the indefensible .

But Hell that is their Right to spout
Crap. My take is that the recent successes of our Players in the shortest version of the game should
have had a Celebration organized by
the WICBC , and televised throughout
the Region .

That did not happen , probably because the WICBC was surprised by
these victories . So to stymie that
they decided to focus on the behaviour of the Men's team .

What the Hell did they expect
after being nasty to the Players ??
I know that some here erroneously believe that the WICBC is omnipotent .But that is merely a Figment of their Imagination .

In reply to POINT
Should they had that celebration with the U-19 and the Women team, where was Sammy, Bravo, Pollard, Russell,Narine, Holder, Brathwaite.
Think man, the Champions are still in India, now on they way to England to play T20 league cricket.

BTW, you really think that was the first time Badree gave back, Emir knows different.
Both Bravos have youth academies, this did not happened after the T20 victories.

Big turnout for ‘Dwayne Bravo Day for Kids’

In reply to openning

Yes, and they do so on their own w/o support from the WICB or their home board.

Think about the role of a properly functioning cricket board and tell me if the TTCB and or the WICB meets those standards?

In reply to Emir

The Apologists for the WICBC will always make excuses for their behaviour
this is precisely why there is no progress in Cricket in this Region .

The WICBC is acutely aware of this
fact , hence its willingness to keep
its 1927 Structure intact .

In reply to Emir
Dude, I've been following cricket too long, to response daily to every thing the WICB, regional boards or ex-players say or do.
Most organizations in he region are showcasing the victories, by having players at most function.
My response to one hit wonder, is to let him know Badree like most of the guys,give back yearly to schools, and some organizations.
He wanted the WICB to have a celebration, with most of the senior T20 team, playing in the IPL.
