HEADLINE: Big Idiot nonsense

Never doubt the ability of legal manoeuvring to make apparently sane, rational individuals look like big idiots.
Almost eight months after the alleged (you never know, it might not have ever happened) Twitter message that has resulted in Darren Bravo essentially being kicked out of West Indies cricket, we have now been made aware of the following:
1. Nobody can prove that the message from Bravo’s Twitter account referring to Cricket West Indies president Dave Cameron as a “Big Idiot” was actually sent by him.
2. Bravo cannot say whether or not he sent it.
3. His lawyers—Donna Symmonds and Leslie Haynes—are not prepared, at this time, so say whether he sent it because, according to them, due process has not been followed in the matter by Cricket West Indies (CWI).
I wonder what is the reaction now of all those who have been rallying round the left-hander to the extent of not merely reinforcing the alleged “Big Idiot” accusation, but going even further to refer to the primary focus of their anger and vitriol in far less complimentary terms?
Credit to Barbadian broadcaster and media personality Barry Wilkinson for finally getting Bravo to respond to questions on the issue on his “Line and Length” show over the weekend as aired on Sportsmax. But, as was to be expected when you saw the eminent legal luminaries involved in the interview, the exercise transpired to be nothing more than elaborate and tedious obfuscation.

Nonsense article - perpetuating idiocy!

Who is the idiot who wrote this? What is the point of this article? The only relevant sentence is Bravo's legal team saying there was no due process. Anyone with an ounce of sense would know this means game, set and match. The arrogant Chief bandit and big idiot will eventually get his just due and I hope it includes some jail time.

Exactement...The fundamental aspect of natural justice -
due process, seems to have escaped many persons here.
CWI will pay dearly for this glaring error.
The crux of the matter: Bravo's property was taken away from him without giving him an opportunity to be heard.
In this regard, CWI's actions can be deemed as extremely authoritarian.

Ok. So I wrote the bravo tweet. Don't ask me how I did it, but it did
Why: because Cameron need a good curse up. Cause I knew bravo contract situation better than cameron himself.
When bravo saw the tweet he was so happy he let there and refused to take it out.

How secure is Twitter?
Don't people's email accounts get hacked?

To be honest I was think the same. I was in bravo corner until I heard he defense on not removing the tweet.
I am not on Twitter don't how this works. Can anyone just tweet from your account. Perhaps bravo knows?

Would you have taken down the tweet after you were deemed guilty without being heard and being humiliated by sending you home?

meanwhile, this is distracting us from the bigger picture of the woeful West Indian performances in ODIs. When is Jason Holder going to retire as captain? He clearly cannot influence this team to make it perform better. Captains of other test playing countries fall on their swords when similar things happen but in the WI, our captain is like an Energiser Bunny.

I won't have been I this situation cus I would curse him face to face cus am ole school. But Ppl now a days use social media as their way to vent.
So this would not have played out this way.
They should have ask Sammy to withdraw his comments too.
All parties remitted on what happened in Florida meeting

Cameron (the BIG IDIOT) has brought so much negativity to his position as President of the WICB/CWI, but this certainly takes the cake.
Just imagine the gall of this guy going as far as colluding with the Russians to hack one of his subjects Twitter accounts for the sole purpose of spreading propaganda towards the end of breaching the contract of said subject, all the while knowing that the subject wouldn't be able to remove the offensive tweet even if asked to do so.
Off with the BIG IDIOT's head (not literally, of course)!

This is Fazeer's worst article, ever- and frankly I am shock he is so one sided and he didn't even attempt to hide is wicked bias.
Had he thorn into Cameron and the WICBC with the same level of arrogance and aggression as he did to Lil Bravo, then would one not accuse him of bias.
Fazeer should be ashamed of this article.

Both parties have a sense of responsibility in this.
The president will not be around when this get resolved because the two egos will not give in. The tweet will not be removed and Cameron will not bow as BOSS.

Well I have been stating in this Forum for over 15 years , that most of the Sports Media in the Region are actually Sycophants of the WICBC/CWI .
I am therefore never surprised by the
Feces they write , defending their Masters . THEY are also a part of the
Problem , regarding the state of Cricket in the Region .

The writer failed to acknowledge that this is an on-going legal matter. So lawyers will say nothing. They will advise their client to say little and acknowledge nothing.
Hopefully, the full story will come out soon.

Bravo's Lawyers believe that they have a winning hand , so why should they reveal their cards now .
It is in the Court that is the proper Forum for showing the Cards that they
hold . Good Lawyers , only show the Cards they are holding in a Law Court .
I am not a Lawyer , but it seems to me that Bravo , apart from not being given DUE PROCESS ; Has been punished
more than once for the same offense .
Interestingly , the CWI has a Disciplinary Committee , which was bypassed because this matter involved
Emperor Dave Cameron . So then what
really is the purpose of having a Disciplinary Committee ?????

It is very obvious that the WICBC /CWI
only exists to Rubber Stamp what Emperor Cameron wants . Therefore bypassing the Disciplanary Committee
was a trifling matter, matter akin to
Emperor Cameron not knowing what Level
Contract Bravo had .
I seriously doubt that Emperor Cameron
expected that this matter would have become so controversial . My expectation is that in Court , the
Judge or Judges will really strip the
Pompousness & Egotistical Idiots in
the WICBC / CWI .

Maybe so..but he has the worst win loss ration in recent memory of any ODI captain..West Indian or otherwise.
The decent thing to do is to resign, he is not getting the results
