Did Cameron finally wake up and smell the coffee? Or, has the coffee gone so stale, not even he can now make it drinkable; the aroma all gone?

First let me state the fact that an Article like that could never ever be penned by most of those in the Region , who claim to be Sports Journalists .

THEY are afraid of the Emperor & his
Minions , the Emperor , it is my understanding that the Emperor went to a Radio Station , and was allowed to
silence one of the Journalists there .

I have heard of no Protest or criticism regarding this matter .
However it is very Obvious that the
Emperor & his Minions are feeling real Heat , especially from the Case
in India , where the India Supreme Court , took exception to the Officials of BCCI regarding the BCCI
& THE LODHAR COMMISSION .

This was followed by the Prime Minister of Trinidad & Tobago who stated that he was informed that from a legal perspective , he has Standing to take the WICBC/CWI to Court , and he intends to proceed doing that .

That is what apparently has the Emperors & his Minions in a Tizzy .
hence this announcement about a
TEMPORARY AMNESTY . I hope that PM. Rowley is not fooled by this latest
piece of Chicanery by the WICBC/CWI .

It is quite evident that the Emperor &
his Minions do not intending doing one Damn thing . They closed the HPC , and
as far as I am aware there is no replacement .

Let me once again anger my critics by by repeating this very Stark Fact :

OUR PLAYERS ARE PLAYING LESS CRICKET

THAN MOST OF THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET .

That at least in my opinion is one
of the many problems regarding the non competitiveness of Our Players .

Were you singing praises of the HPC when it existed?

The HPC was only one of several things that needed to be done . For those like you I stated in caps , the fact
that our Players are playing less Cricket than their Counterparts on other International Cricket Teams .

I have also always bemoaned the fact that the the idea of having a 1 week Camp is asinine .

I have also persistently stated that
there must be at least 2 warm up matches so that Our Players can get
acclimatized to Pitches & the weather when on Tour .

It is quite possible that your memory is failing , but I do recall on several occasions stating the above .

I have also stated that Former Great Players be hired to correct the faults & flaws of current Players .

The problem however , is that what I
have stated above is not being done .
however as I have continuously stated
that those in the governance of Cricket in the Region , are totally unfit to be in the governance of Cricket in the Region .

Some people are now complaining about the Team having too much Barbadians ;
some people are also saying that persons are not selected by merit .

Obviously this is a recipe for disaster . All I can do , and I have done is being critical of those in the Governance of Cricket in the Region .

All I can do is offer suggestions , and I have done that since January 2003 . I have written about the fact that the WICBC/CWI is not Transparent ; that it does not adhere to Good Governance and is not Accountable .

I cite these things so that I can never ever be accused of not offering
what I believe must be done to improve Cricket in the Region .

So please spare me your B.S .

Windies players have always been mistreated by the WICBC...but no one noticed because we were on top of the world!

Our success came down to one thing..

Talent..simple as that! We had more of it and at a higher level than anyone else!

The last of our premium talent was Shiv...

Still cannot see the reason for getting rid of the HPC. Right now they could all be there working on their games. These fools cannot see that only constant competition will allow them to get better.

That's simple .The Sagicor high performance centre was paid for by sagicor....they stopped paying and it folded.The deal for HPC was five years and preceded Cameron, but was not renewed.

These are the Big Idiots who are Supported many many Fools in this Forum ; and a majority of those who claim to be Sports Journalists .

Yet their Supporters here vilify me
most of the Time . Never mind that
Cricket in the Region is sinking
Lower & lower daily .

The same thing happen to the Academy that was in Grenada . My belief is that the WICBC/CWI is top heavy with a lot of unnecessary Personnel . While its Top Personnel are living Large .

many People like what is happening .

The West Indies Cricket Board High Performance Centre (HPC) programme can now be administered in any of the regional territories.

This was revealed by WICB Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Michael Muirhead who explained that the HPC in its current form is no more.

Muirhead pointed out that director of cricket Richard Pybus has revamped that whole programme in terms of how it is done. The original concept of the High Performance Centre started out at the 3w’s Oval at the Cave Hill Campus in Barbados.

He said before they had participants in a classroom sometimes and it was like a curriculum.

This he said will not happen anymore and they are now identifying what needs to be done at specific points in time and coming up with a programme that can be administered in any territory.

The Goons in the WICBC/CWI , love proving that my assessment of them is correct .

THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW THAT THE HPC WAS

GOING TO CLOSE . SENSIBLE PERSONS

WOULD HAVE HAD AN ALTERNATIVE IN

PLACE SO THAT THE TRANSITION WOULD BE

SEAMLESS . BUT AS USUAL THAT DID NOT

HAPPEN .

Once again they have demonstrated that they are totally unfit to be in
the governance of Cricket in the Region .

Despite their colossal Failures they
are treated by their Worshipers like
Gods , to the point where they can do
absolutely no Wrong in the Region , like marching into a Radio Station ,
and being an Arrogant ; Cantankerous
Egomaniac .
