Whycliffe "Dave" Cameron's Legacy

However after 2014, the current Dave Cameron-led administration took unprecedented steps to make West Indies the only team in world cricket, and possibly modern professional sports, with the majority of its elite players sidelined.

Correct is right.

 
POINT 2017-07-18 19:42:18 

Yet the Bums still cling to Power , bolstered by the International Cricket
Crooks , idea that Government must not
intervene in Cricket .

Let them go to the India Supreme Court
and tell the Judges that B.S . The Judges in India removed the President
and the Secretary of the BCCI from their Official positions in the BCCI .
Let them send representation to the
India Supreme Court , to reverse their decision . I hope if they are so bold as to go there , that they get jailed .

The decision by the Judges in India ,
is likely to the beginning of the end
for the International Cricket Crooks . Stranglehold on International Cricket .

The days when International Cricket
Boards ruled with an Iron Fist are nearly over , because the India Supreme Courts had the Testicular Fortitude to stand up to the BCCI ,
when the latter refused to implement the changes recommended by The Lodhar
Committee .

India's Supreme court fcuked up an efficient sports body with its judicial overreach and misplaced activism..
Be glad that there is no equivalent judicial body that can render an already ineffectual entity,even more impotent..

One simple question to You

WHY DID THE EX PRESIDENT LIE

TO THE INDIA SUPREME COURT

REGARDING A LETTER FROM MANOHAR ??

Perhaps that is why the India Supreme
Court will deal harshly with him . I
am on record in this Forum stating that the International Cricket Boards
had & have too much Power .

Worse yet some of them like the WICBC / CWI relish abusing that power . On
many occasions I have stated in this
Forum that this asinine idea was spawned by the International Cricket Crooks , stating that Governments cannot intervene in Cricket .

That is untrue , and the decision of the India Supreme Court has forever dispelled that asinine idea . I understand that Prime Minister Rowley
got a legal opinion stating that He
can proceed to take the WICBC / CWI to Court .

Whatever was the intent, Indian Supreme Court got itself into the job of running day to day affairs of the Baird via the so called COA and it has done more harm than good..it is a clear case judicial overreach and misplaced activism.

I have absolutely no doubt that PM.
Rowley will have standing in Court .
People need to recall that when the WICBC decided to host the 2007 Cricket
World Cup , It went to the Regional
Governments for support in the form of using Taxpayers Money to build new
Stadia ; and refurbish existing Stadia etc .

The Governments in the Region did all
that was required of them to make the
2007 Cricket World Cup successful .
Sadly the People in the WICBC , forgot that it was Taxpayers money that was used to make the 2007 World
Cup successful .

My perspective is that PM.Rowley is
simply demanding his pound of flesh ,
because he is of the opinion that the
WICBC/CWI has been and is an abysmal failure in the governance of
Cricket in the Region .

The very fact that the WICBC/ CWI
refuses to undergo serious Structural
Changes , has irked some Prime Ministers in the Region to the point where they have had enough of the WICBC/CWI B.S and it is likely that
PM. Rowley's position may have a Snowballing effect which will be not only detrimental to the WICBC/CWI ,
but its Members will quickly find their perceived Power diluting slowly but surely .

This talk about Temporary Amnesty for
Players is as a result of PM. Rowley's decision to take the WICBC/CWI to Court .

I do not believe that the BCCI is the only Cricket Board in India . I get the impression , that You were not happy with the decision of the Court .

Perhaps you could inform me what you found odious about the decision of the India Supreme Court .

I got the impression that the Judges were upset that the the BCCI was tardy in implementing the recommendations of the Lodha Committee .

My perspective is that the Original Sin was caused by the ICC telling its members that Governments cannot intervene in Cricket . That is a blasted Lie , that International Cricket Boards then use to abuse the
Power they possess .

This case regarding the BCCI & the
Lodha Committee in the current Global
Village is Worldwide News , and as I have stated elsewhere will over time dilute the power of International
Cricket Boards .

Once matters are taken into Court , the floodgate is wide open forever .
The Supreme Court of India stated that the BCCI was not Transparent ; nor Accountable . This has a familiar ring to me , since the same can be stated about the WICBC / CWI .

Obviously since International Cricket
Boards think of themselves as masters of their own fate , they, over time become Arrogant ; Haughty & Dictatorial , these sooner rather than later spawn an US vs THEM mentality .

In the case of West Indies Cricket this has proved to be detrimental to
Cricket , and that attitude must be stopped . This is why in my opinion
Prime Minister Rowley taking the WICBC /CWI to Court is a necessary step .

The Supreme Court of India made a very
insightful point when it stated that
when the BCCI selects a national Team
it cannot then claim to be a Private Entity .

I am of the opinion that this perspective is portable , meaning that
other Countries can come to that same conclusion .

IN ESSENCE IT AINT THE BCCI OR EG THE

WICBC/CWI THAT IS SELECTING A TEAM

THAT THEY PERSONALLY HAVE . THEY ARE

SELECTING A TEAM TO REPRESENT THE

WHOLE OF INDIA & THE WHOLE OF THE

WEST INDIES .

The India Supreme Court seems to be saying that once you do this then your status as being a Private Entity is void . Then in India the BCCI as far as I am aware does not own any Stadia in India .

My belief is that the India Cricket Board & the WICBC /CWI only have themselves to blame , In this Region
they deliberately avoided implementing salient changes recommended by several Reports that
they themselves commissioned .
