West Indies Left-hand Batsman, Darren Bravo, who, through his attorneys have taken up an issue involving the West Indies Cricket Board’s (WICB) chief executive officer, Johnny Grave said he was never contacted about the article that was published on the ESPN Cricinfo website last Friday under the headline: WICB “frustrated” by Bravo damages claim.

From the Office of Leslie F Haynes QC, Attorney-at-Law, “Ellangowan”, Strathclyde, Barbados, a statement was issued yesterday on behalf of Bravo saying that he remains committed to representing the West Indies in all forms of the game, “as he has shown repeatedly, but obviously in an environment of mutual trust, confidence and respect.”

On April 21, an article appeared on the ESPN Cricinfo website under the headline : WICB “frustrated” by Bravo damages claim.

Haynes said that unfortunately, neither Bravo nor any one of his lawyers was contacted or has any record of any attempt being made to contact any one of them.

“Perhaps this is what led to the omissions and mischaracterizations in this piece,” the QC’s letter stated.

Having inherited the disagreement when he was appointed at the start of this year, the article said, Grave gained agreement from Cameron over a partial apology to Bravo (the president is prepared to acknowledge he was wrong to suggest Bravo had ever received a Grade A contract from WICB).


Can anyone explain what is a partial apology?

(the president is prepared to acknowledge he was wrong to suggest Bravo had ever received a Grade A contract from WICB).


Interesting?

informed the WICB that the Board’s actions were considered unlawful and that Bravo was claiming loss and damage resulting there from and submitted a report on the matter as required.


Board action considered to be unlawful was Lil B brought before the disciplinary committee?


While agreement could be reached on three of these conditions, the issue of damages remained and on April 11, Bravo’s attorneys informed Grave in writing.

According to Haynes QC, Grave never responded to Bravo’s counsel’s letter of April 11, “but has made statements that have been published in the press without the full context of the matter which serves to create further issues.”


So the issue of damages was never agreed to and remained outstanding, but Grave is frustrated?


Grave was not part of any of the above interactions but did become involved subsequently and proposed a possible settlement of the matter on March 9 (this year), “which was four-pronged in construct.”


WICB just can't give up four prong huh ?
shock

It seems to me that the WICBC , to use a local phrase :

" WAS TRYING A TING "

Obviously the WICBC was trying to
find out if Bravo & his Legal Advisors are bluffing .

It seemes to me that the long silence by Bravo & his Team was
beginning to rattle Cameron & Co ..

“as he has shown repeatedly, but obviously in an environment of mutual trust, confidence and respect.”

He might as well ask for his personal sauna during breaks too....

Is it a curse on the WICB that when supposedly intelligent people join that organization in a position of authority they immediately turn into "EDUCATED FOOLS"?

What is wrong with these people?

How can a matter of such simplicity turn grown educated men into complete idiots?

Governance within the WICB in the past was laughable, it is laughable now and it will remain laughable going forward if the status quo remains the same.

A whole bunch of "BIG IDIOTS".
