Rowley: Caricom could split over WI cricket


Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley says the unity of Caricom countries is under threat from the issue of the state of West Indies cricket.
Rowley believes that the issue of the administration of West Indies cricket under the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), which was incorporated as Cricket West Indies (CWI) last year, is fracturing support among Caricom nations and could do real damage to the movement.
Dr Rowley was making comments during an interview on Radio i95.5 FM yesterday evening.

Well I called it a while ago. CARICOM sanctions against Antigua and a sterm eye on Barbados will end the split.

It is no surprise that Antigua and Barbados, the two most colonial lovers of the region will back and support a colonial legacy organization and mind set.

Antigua and Barbados will melt away of a travel and trade embargo is placed against them.

Colonial lovers? Now, that's a bit rich.

WICB president Cameron told Caricom “to our face” they were not accepting that position any longer because the WICB was now incorporated and was only beholden to their shareholders and not to Caricom leadership.


And these PM sat there and took this. What a bunch of pussies.

Then call in your country shareholders and lay the law down on their rasses.

Cameron gats 8 votes in his back pocket.
Governments call in Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana and T&T
strangle these boards with Laws that can be passed in Parliament.
No resident of these countries will be allowed to play for CWI.

Let Cameron Play in Antigua.Bring CWI to its knees.

But we gats gutless leadership at Caricom.

LET THOSE WHO ARE IN THE MAJORITY

TAKE THE BUMS TO COURT , IT IS

ASININE THAT THE MINORITY MUST THWART

THE WISHES OF THE MAJORITY . THAT IS

FREAKING UNDEMOCRATIC .

Frankly those in the Minority do not give a Damn regarding the State of
West Indies Cricket . As long as the
Bums in the Minority get their little
bit of money the Jackasses are Happy.

History are not going to be kind to those Bums , who as I have stated prefer to sell their BirthRight for
a few Dollars .

The IDIOTS may believe that they won
this Battle , however in reality :

ALL OF US HAVE LOST THE WAR , THANKS

TO THE UTTER STUPIDITY OF SOME PETTY

PERSONS IN THE GOVERNANCE OF SOME

COUNTRIES IN THE REGION .

I still maintain that on a matter of Principle , the Majority take the
WICBC/CWI to Court , the Court is only going to be concerned with what
is before them ; not the intransigence of some Idiots .

THERE EXISTS A NUMBER OF REASONS WHY

THE WICBC / CWI MUST BE REMOVED FROM

THE GOVERNANCE OF CRICKET .


THE WICBC/CWI HAS BLUNTLY REFUSED TO

UNDERGO SERIOUS STRUCTURAL CHANGES ;

THIS IS DESPITE ; COMMISSIONING

SEVERAL REPORTS & SWIFTLY DISMISSED

THOSE REPORTS WITHOUT PUTTING IN

PLACE THE SALIENT RECOMMENDATIONS OF

THOSE REPORTS .

Those who are in agreement need to
study the recommendations of the Lodhar Committee , which the BCCI was
Tardy in putting in place the recommendations of the Lodhar Committee .

THE SUPREME COURT IN INDIA , VERBALLY

SLAPPED AROUND THE OFFICIALS OF THE

BCCI IN OPEN COURT .


THEN BECAUSE THE BCCI WAS TARDY IN

IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF

THE LODHAR COMMITTEE , THE JUDGES

REMOVED BOTH THE PRESIDENT & THE

SECRETARY OF THE BCCI FROM THEIR

OFFICIAL POSITIONS IN THE BCCI .

Frankly it appears that:

WICBC/CWI HAS MORE POWER THAN THE

THE GOVERNMENTS IN THE REGION ; I

NOW UNDERSTAND WHY EMPEROR CAMERON

CAN WALK INTO A RADIO STATION AND

DEMAND THAT A JOURNALIST NOT SIT

NEAR TO HIM OR BE PERMITTED TO ASK

THE EMPEROR QUESTIONS .

Mr Gaston Browne , you have sold your Country to the Emperor Cameron ,
may God have Mercy on Your Soul .

What a pile of crap. Get the emotion out of it. Gaston Browne is legally correct. If we overthrow a democratically elected executive of a private club called CWI then every organisation and government can/should/would face the same fate.
If we want change then just as we vote in elections we must join the clubs and change the Boards. Barbados Cricket has elections coming let us see how many clubs and persons will turn up and let us see what changes will be made.

 
POINT 2017-07-09 15:37:49 

It is quite evident that Gaston Browne
& Others are blind to the fact that
Local Persons have refused to look at
West Indies Cricket , due to the lack
of competitiveness of Our Players .

Sure Barbados & Antigua are going to get an influx of Tourists when Touring
Teams come to the Region , but is that
really helping West Indies Cricket ???

THE ONCE RICH HISTORY OF WEST INDIES

CRICKET IS FAST BECOMING A FADING

MEMORY ; HOWEVER IT SEEMS THAT THIS

DOES NOT TROUBLE CAMERON & BROWNE .

THEIR ONLY CONCERN IS THAT THEY GET

THEIR 1/4 POUND OF FLESH .

It will be very interesting what sensible write about Cameron et al .
It sure aint going to be Pretty .

Next up on the Agenda is the WEHBY
COMMITTEE , consisting of some if not
all of Cameron's Country People . It
would indeed be interesting if:

THE WEHBY COMMITTEE AGREES WITH THE

FINDINGS OF OTHER COMMITTEES

COMMISSIONED BY THE WICBC/CWI .

That would seriously damage the reputation of Browne and others . But
not Cameron et al their Reputation has already been Forever tarnished .
This is a Fact , not Fiction .

How can it be private?

The clubs at the lower levels in each country have representatives, that meet and have voting rights.
These players often have to purchase equipment and pay dues to such clubs.

At the FC level some clubs have sponsors, others are given Tax payers money in grants.
Sponsors write off such expenses at Taxpayers expense.

Areas are divided into Zones.
The Zone Representatives vote for ie The management of the T&TCB.

The T&TCB receives Government grants and sponsors money plus CWI money.
The Taxpayers are putting in more money than CWI.

CWI receives Government money and Tax benefits.

CWI is part of the grass roots level of Cricket in the Caribbean and owned by all.

It's not a private domain. receipt of any Government money one is accountable.

Each Caricom Member needs to have balls and challenge them, it can be done easily.

How's the cold in Regina? You are sadly misinformed about cricket board management. Bobby is quite correct. If you want to change CWI, first you have to join a local Club and vote in a new executive then join the local Board and also vote in new executive. Then an only then your representative on CWI board vote out Cameron and co.


The trouble with this MB members is that I'll bet that less than five percent belong to a cricket club, territorial board but feel embolden to decide who should run CWI

Is this showing how weak the CARICOM movement is? I hope not. Anyway, I certainly do not support anyone resigning from an organization, because they do not agree with another's position.

Before responding I invite you to read
via wikipedia , the fact that the Supreme Court in India :

REMOVED BOTH THE PRESIDENT &


SECRETARY OF THE BCCI FROM THEIR

POSITIONS IN THE BCCI ; FOR FAILING

TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF

THE LODAR COMMITTEE .


BTW THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA HAS

DEMANDED THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF

THE BCCI ISSUE A PUBLIC APOLOGY .

Interestingly the Laws in

COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES ARE GENERALLY

PATTERNED AFTER ENGLISH LAWS .

I hope that after reading the India
Supreme Court vs the BCCI , RE:
THE LODHA COMMITTEE , you then respond , but I aint about to hold my breath .

Oh no Dr. The Honourable Rowley. The best way to avoid the damage to Caricom that this CWI issue is causing is to keep out of the cricket. We can't have Caricom disintegrate over this petty and stupid cricket issue....

Limestone Fuzz

It's very hot here.

I belonged to a club in T&T at the FC level.

I hexplained how it works in T&T.

Dinas and Ganga gats the majority of Zone wins but cannot take over T&TCB.

Reason the Outgoing Executives gats 12 votes, so dem win by one.

It's now before the Courts in T&T and Dinas and Ganga will win because it's unconstitutional.

What do you tink Dinas and Ganga would do, get rid of the old ones like you gats in lil England
Lord Nelson Conde.

Look I became a Member in this Forum since 2003 , and since then I have continuously deplored the Regional Boards ; the WICBC/CWI & the Regional
Governments .

The Latter because they have allowed
the WICBC to be Non Transparent ;
Unaccountable & refusing to exercise
Good Governance .

The WICBC /CWI has fooled the Governments and the People in the Region by often Commissioning Reports
and then just as swiftly discarding them .

These are the People that Gaston Browne greatly admires , and has hitched Antigua to these Incompetent
Big Idiots .

I am still awaiting a response from YOU regarding the fact that the Officials in the BCCI were verbally slapped around by the India Supreme Court .

I also stated that the India Supreme Court:

REMOVED THE PRESIDENT & SECRETARY OF

THE BCCI FROM THEIR OFFICIAL

POSITIONS IN THE BCCI .

But like the Idiot You are you have
refused to respond Look , I do not
write FICTION , I WRITE FACTS .

Obviously you do not have the Testicular Fortitude to respond , but
then there are in this Forum many Fools like You , who blindly support
Emperor Cameron and the other Big Idiots .

CWI can tell Bravo he cannot play

BCCI tells players they cannot play in other leagues.

Why can't the T&TCB tell its players it cannot play.

What law prevented the rebels from not playing for the WICB?

Emperor Cameron is pissed that his underlings are making more money than he makes . He also loves dismissing
some Journalists who he doesn't like .

Worst yet those who own Radio Stations in the Region are made to agree to all the wishes of Emperor Cameron .

The fact that THEY have been Sucking up to Emperor Cameron for years , made them believe that Emperor Cameron will treat them with respect .However Emperor Cameron does not respect ANYONE in the Region , especially since he now has at least
One Prime Minister in his Pocket .

" OH WHAT FOOLS WE MORTALS ARE " .
