POINT 2017-01-02 15:10:11 

TAKE THE WORST INTERNATIONAL CRICKET

BOARD TO COURT TO SAVE CRICKET IN THE

REGION .

The WICBC has for years now , utterly
refused , to adhere to sound principles
of TRANSPARENCY ; ACCOUNTABILITY ; &
GOOD GOVERNANCE . These are essential
for any Good Organization to have Credibility .

UNFORTUNATELY THE WICBC IS ONLY

INTERESTED IN SELF PRESERVATION &

ENSURING ITS 87 YEARS OLD STRUCTURE

REMAINS INTACT , NEVER MIND THE FACT

THAT ITS MEMBERS HAVE COMMISSIONED

SEVERAL REPORTS IN AN EFFORT TO

BAMBOOZLE THE PUBLIC INTO BELIEVING

THAT IT WOULD CHANGE ITS STRUCTURE .

WHEN IN REALITY THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY

NO INTENTION OF CHANGING THEIR CURRENT

STRUCTURE ; WHICH IS THEIR SECURITY

BLANKET .

why would you want people who can't fix their own problems take on an additional headache? What makes you think that this endeavour would be any different?

How many of the regional governments are interested on a daily basis of the WICB.
The Islands major interest is getting International games, in their Island.
Not even the fans care about the WICB or cricket.
It is time Point take a visit to the region and hear the locals.

 
POINT 2017-01-03 08:09:35 

It seems to me that some here have missed the essential point I am making , which is that the Members of the WICBC has been and are utterly out of
their Depth regarding exercising GOOD
GOVERNANCE .

Now there is an abundance of evidence
to illustrate this Fact . It aint about whether fans care about the actions of the WICBC or whether care
about Cricket .

IT IS ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE WICBC

FOR DECADES HAS BEEN AND IS AN

ABYSMAL FAILURE .

I get the impression that some here
are stating that :

WE MUST PUT UP WITH THE MEDIOCRITY

AND MALADMINISTRATION OF THE WICBC .

I CANNOT & WILL NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THAT

B...S... .

Just a little suggestion, move home and start a movement to get rid of the WICB.
It is obvious they are not responding to your daily drivel lol lol

In essence you and those of your Ilk are of the opinion , that we must let
the WICBC , continue being a ROGUE
CRICKET BOARD , devoid of TRANSPARENCY ; ACCOUNTABILITY ; & GOOD GOVERNANCE .

The stark Truth is that the WICBC current Structure will be 88 years old this year . This is despite the WICBC
commissioning several Reports , which it rejected , in favour of its current 1929 Structure .

It is therefore very obvious that the
WICBC has perpetrated a HOAX on the
People of the Region . Because It had & has absolutely no intention of giving up its SECURITY BLANKET , its
current Structure .

INTERESTINGLY IT IS ITS CURRENT

STRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS IT TO BE

UNACCOUNTABLE ; LACKING TRANSPARENCY

; CONTINUE BEING THE WORST

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET BOARD IN THE

COMMONWEALTH .

What is truly sad is that many in this Forum & in the Region are satisfied with the behaviour of those
in this Rogue Cricket Board ; that is accountable only to itself .

Worse yet the ICC approves of the WICBC being a Rogue Cricket Board .This is totally unacceptable .

What is your solution for West Indies cricket.

No one is satisfied with the WICB and the current state of things. But for you to ask for governmental intervention to fix the problem is rather outrageous, given the performance of the respective governments.

Not sure what you meant by 'my ilk' but i take it that that means more to you than me.

Cheers!

Point has seen only one West Indies cricket game live, and that was in the sixties, so thread softly.
I am quite sure he cannot tell you about a cricket match he followed during the Lloyd or Viv captaincy.

Point, I gonna agree with openning here,
You can't stay there in the US and then talk about the WICB and how they should change. How about you do something, you cuss sports journalist, why not write an article and get it published in the papers, then put your suggestions on paper, get someone on the ground to assist you then run with it.
But come here day in day out, year in year out to go on and all, much ado about nothing without be willing to put your own hand to the wheel is getting boring now.

I'm not saying you don't have good idea, but who you expect to do them if you don't show any impetus and get the job done. Start a movement or something, sitting behind a computer screen and keyboard banging off the keys have gotten you where?
This 2017 man, been hearing you going on like this since I got here in 2007.

I want to offer a giant thank you to Opening and Positiveg for finding the most effective way of shutting up POINTless by asking him to actually do something rather that spout his copy and paste bs.

Thank you guys. You should get the mb award for community service

I've reminded Point for over a decade that 99.9% of the MB agree with him, but yet he spew the same thing daily, on every topic, whether it is WICB related or not.
I for one think the WICB should be restructure or anyone that has been a director for the last decade on any regional board should resign.
You cannot have the ame people running these boards and the team is at #8 in test and at the bottom in ODI.

the POINT do not have any ideas, he writes the same shoite over and over again, we are encouraging him by responding to the BS, We all WIC is dysfunction, but no one seems to have the formulae to restore or making a good organization.

In reply to summergon

My opinion is that there must be a
Complete Restructuring of Cricket in the Region starting with the Regional
Boards & also the WICBC .

All the persons who are critical of
what I write , cannot refute the fact
that the WICBC for several Years has
commissioned several Reports , and have yet to implement the salient Features of those Reports .

So then the salient question to ask
is this :

WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE PURPOSE OF

COMMISSIONING SEVERAL REPORTS & THEN

REJECTING THE IMPORTANT FEATURES OF

THESE REPORTS ?????

I have concluded that the sole purpose was to Bamboozle the Public in the Region into thinking that
the 87 years old Structure would change , but that was a cruel Hoax .

Because the People in the WICBC have
absolutely no intention of changing
its current Structure . Why ????
Because it gives them the Right to be
Arrogant ; Incompetent ; not caring
about TRANSPARENCY ; ACCOUNTABILITY
OR GOOD GOVERNANCE .
