IMAGINE EMPEROR CAMERON IS AFRAID OF

 
POINT 2017-07-10 11:27:48 

A SPORTS JOURNALIST ASKING HIM

QUESTIONS ; ALL BECAUSE PM BROWNE HAS

BOWED DOWN TO HIM .CAMERON REALLY

RELISHES BEING THE GREAT DICTATOR IN

THE REGION . WHO IS SUPPORTED BY

SOME GOVERNMENTS IN THE REGION WHO

HAVE APTLY DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY

HAVE NO TESTICULAR FORTITUDE .

It really is as a very bad day when some Governments decided to hitch their Country to Emperor Cameron & his Minions ; who populate the absolutely Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth .

I know that Lent is gone , but those Prime Ministers who sided with Emperor Cameron need to walk about in Sack Cloth & Ashes . I believe that those in the WICBC/ are Terrible , however those Prime Ministers who have decided to throw their Lot in
with Emperor Cameron will FOREVER LIVE IN INFAMY .

voicing their Support for the Great
Dictator .

Browne has not sided with Cameron. He believes Caricom should not interfere with the running of a private company. It will set a bad precedent

People make the difference, reforming with the same mindset, will add very little to the product.

Bad precedent my eye and what private company? Where the money comes from for the stadia, teams, bids to host games etc etc. You would like the WICB to continue as business as usual, we missed the last ODI world Cup and are likely to mix the next, largely based on the selection policies of the WICB. Again, I often speak with fans from other test playing countries and they too have their view that this board is the bain of West Indies cricket.

If we have a real Caribbean Court of Justice, we would have seen some "interference" in this entity

FYI IN CASE YOU DID NOT KNOW THIS :

THE BCCI IS ALSO A PRIVATE ENTITY

IN THE GOVERNANCE OF A PUBLIC SPORT

ITS STRUCTURE IS SIMILAR TO WHAT IS

IN THE REGION .

READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY , THE

SUPREME COURT OF INDIA VERBALLY

SLAPPED AROUND HE OFFICIALS OF THE

BCCI BECAUSE OF THEIR INTRANSIGENCE

IN IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS

OF THE LODHAR COMMITTEE .


WORSE YET THE OFFICIALS OF THE BCCI

STILL REFUSED TO DO AS THE sUPREME

COURT REQUESTED .


THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA DECIDED

THAT IT HAD HAD ENOUGH B.S FROM THE

BCCI . IT THEN REMOVED THE PRESIDENT

OF THE BCCI & THE SECRETARY FROM

THEIR OFFICIAL POSITIONS IN THE BCCI

Recently the Former President of the
BCCI made an insulting remark about
the Court . The Court then demanded
that he make an Apology in the Court .
I cite this because People seem to believe that Courts are powerless , that aint True . I have absolutely no doubt that :

IF THE WICBC / CWI IS TAKEN TO COURT

IT WILL LOSE ; REGARDLESS OF WHETHER

IT IS A PRIVATE OR PUBLIC ENTITY .


THE REASON WHY IT WILL LOSE IS DUE TO

THE FACT THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS THE

WICBC/CWI HAS COMMISSIONED VARIOUS

REPORTS ; AND THEN BLUNTLY REFUSED TO

IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES RECOMMENDED

WILL BE CONSTRUED AS FOOLING THE

GENERAL PUBLIC .

The stark fact is that since its Inception , in 1928 , the WICBC has
refused to change its Archaic Structure .

Before responding to what I have written please read Articles on the
Lodhar Committee & also the Supreme
Court case regarding the BCCI .

Only read the first line but lets say I agree that India took on the BCCI. Which COUNTRY would be charged with taking on CWI?

I SINCERELY RECOMMEND THAT PM . BROWNE

READ ABOUT THE CASE IN INDIA THAT

THAT WENT TO THE INDIA SUPREME COURT

REGARDING THE BCCI RELUCTANCE TO

IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES RECOMMENDED BY

THE LODHAR COMMITTEE .


ALL PM . BROWNE NEEDS TO DO IS TO

GOOGLE THE CASE , OR READ EXCERPTS

FROM THE iNDIAN NEWSPAPERS .


I would recommend that PM. BROWNE
Read that Case , he hopefully will find it very interesting , because
the Supreme Court Judges verbally slapped around the Officials of the BCCI .

IN FACT BECAUSE THE OFFICIALS OF THE

BCCI WERE VERY TARDY IN WHAT THE

COURT BELIEVED WAS FLOUTING THEIR

AUTHORITY .

THE COURT THEN DECIDED TO REMOVE BOTH

THE PRESIDENT & SECRETARY FROM THEIR

OFFICIAL OFFICES IN THE BCCI .


BTW THE BCCI STATES THAT IT IS A

PRIVATE ENTITY , HOWEVER THE JUDGES

ON THE INDIA SUPREME COURT WERE NOT

IMPRESSED .


THEY WERE OF THE OPINION THAT A

PRIVATE ENTITY CANNOT BE IN CONTROL

OF A PUBLIC SPORT .

For the Record both the BCCI & THE
WICBC have similar Structures . The
Judges also cited the same things in this Forum I have stated about the
WICBC .

THEY WERE CRITICAL OF THE BCCI LACK

OF TRANSPARENCY ; LACK OF GOOD

GOVERNANCE ; AND ALSO ITS LACK OF

ACCOUNTABILITY .

Frankly the Region have those same complaints regarding the WICBC/ CWI .
those charges by the Supreme Court of India seem to have a very familiar
Ring in this Region .

West Indies cricket is only private until it needs to beg governments for favours. Spare me.

It is up to Caricom to tax the CWI, it is not charitable organization.

You are on the right track. The national associations are generally not for profit associations that are granted certain concessions that allow them to operate. It would be interesting to see the corporate structure of CWI and where it is incorporated.

I suspect that Cameron made a smart move similar to what Sandals has done, in that the revenues will be collected by CWI and the funneled to the operating entity and regional boards based on budgets and programs.

It will make some people very rich. Example - Barbados rolled out the red carpet for some tourism entities, the results, record number of visitors each year but it has not been reflected in the foreign exchange at the central bank.

 
doublecentury 2017-07-11 20:39:07 

TTCB twice voted against Cameron.one Trinidad rep ( baldath mahabir)resigned from the board.

 
doublecentury 2017-07-11 20:41:43 

“However, in the recent past, this incarnation of the WICB has had to endure even more verbal onslaughts than some of its predecessors. The events that have attracted these negative outpourings have not always been the sole responsibility of the WICB, but the onus of cleaning up after the mess, falls squarely on its burdened and at times under resourced shoulders. And this the organisation must understand.

“Having said that, one must recognize that the WICB has been less than satisfactory in other areas. The management of the business has been unprofessional, tardy or lax in many instances and this, coupled with the very public spats with our players – men and women – have activated an increase in the quantity and decibel counts of voices against the actions of the Board.

“As a Director, one must listen to the voice of the people, as what we are doing, while directing a private company, impacts strongly on a public good. I have read, listened, conversed and been lectured to by many, in and out of the game, friends, complete strangers, fellow cricketers, politicians and business people. All have been driven by their waning passion for West Indies Cricket. They are not happy.

“As a result, I have decided to step back from the forest, for it seems that I need to look again at the trees. Maybe being within for the past six years, I have become lost in the forest- and what is needed is a view from another place, get another perspective. Six million West Indians cannot be wrong.

“This largely informed my decision to resign as a Director of the WICB. I remain both committed and concerned about the future of West Indies cricket and while I am a very passionate supporter of our great West Indian tradition I am guardedly optimistic of what tomorrow may bring. I now join the spectators in the gallery.”

In my opinion it is better to:

WIN THE WAR THAN TO WIN ONE BATTLE ,

IN A WAR . THIS FREAKING FACT HAS

ESCAPED MANY IN THE REGION .


This is due to many not recognizing
that the problem regarding Cricket in
the Region must be viewed from a holistic perspective rather than a Parochial perspective .

It is a Crying Shame that many in high positions in the Region seem not
to understand this freaking fact .
As a result like the Character in Alice in Wonderland :

"WE ARE RUNNING VERY FAST BUT STILL

STUCK IN THE SAME FREAKING PLACE ".

QUITE FRANKLY THAT CAN NEVER EVER

BE CONSTRUED AS PROGRESS BY ANY

STRETCH OF ONE'S IMAGINATION .

FACT THAT WE LIVE IN DEMOCRATIC

IT SEEMS THAT WE HAVE FACISTS IN THIS

US SUBSCRIBE TO THAT IDEA . I GUESS

IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO LEARN .


I am now being made aware that the
Great Dictator has Friends in this Forum . This s very interesting ; a
Dictator who is afraid of answering
questions from a Journalists is Idolized in this Forum .

Yet some wonder why Cricket in the Region is Regressing ; there exists
credible evidence to support this Fact .

So why did the Big Dictator Apologise to Bravo ???? ???????
LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF NOW . In this Forum
I stated that the Big Dictator had to apologise , and he also Did that . I
am on record in this Forum stating that both of them needed to Apologise ; the Big Dictator because he displayed Sloppiness & Arrogance .

HE HAD AN OBLIGATION TO ASCERTAIN

WHAT LEVEL CONTRACT BRAVO HAD BEFORE

MAKING HIS STATEMENT , BUT THEN HIS

COLOSSAL ARROGANCE GOT THE BETTER OF

HIM , AND HIS STATEMENT WAS FACTUALLY

INCORRECT , THERE CAN BE ABSOLUTELY

NO EXCUSE FOR HIS SLOPPINESS , NONE;

EXCEPT HIS EXCEEDINGLY COLOSSAL

ARROGANCE .


BTW , RECENTLY ON A RADIO STATION THE

BIG DICTATOR ONCE AGAIN DEMONSTRATED

HIS PROPENSITY TO BE ARROGANT .


But then this does not bother JackAsses like you , it is those who think like YOU that have destroyed
West Indies Cricket . Wittingly or
Unwittingly ; and that is a Great Pity .

One would have thought that the Help the Regional Governments gave in helping the WICBC stage the International Tournament in the Region
would have made the People in the WICBC really turnover a New Leaf .

Unfortunately that did not happen ,
the WICBC went back as if nothing happened . There were no Reforms , they are still not Transparent ; Still not Accountable ; and still refuse to exercise Good Governance .

When an Arrogant Big Idiot has to apologise , that surely aint a Consolation Prize .

One thing I can assure YOU is that because of Cameron's Attitude & Behaviour the WICBC/CWI is going to have to pay Bravo Big Bucks in compensation for not following the
normal procedure .

E.G the fact that Cameron took matters into his own hands , when initially the matter should have been
brought to the attention of the WICBC Disciplinary Committee .

Then there is the matter of Bravo being penalized on at least 2 occasions for the same freaking Offense . I do not believe that a Person being punished twice for the same Offense is Legal .
