On a scale from 1 - 25 , what was the
overall input of WICBC/CWI;in the Shortest Version of the Game ????????

My take is that it was about 5 ; and that in my opinion is being very generous . The Truth is that it is in this Version of the Game that has brought Honour & Glory to the Region
by winning 2 Consecutive World Championships .

Yet Those who harnessed & honed the
Players in this version of the game , to my knowledge have never ever been saluted for their Stewardship .

Most people in this Forum unless they are Mentally Impaired are fully aware
of the fact that the input of the WICBC/CWI was miniscule.

Now regarding the Longer Versions of the game ; from their Inception , they were always controlled by the WICBC/CWI . The Truth is that in the Longer versions of the game , in the
International Cricket Arena ; Our Players & Teams have been Floundering
at or near the Bottom in International Cricket .

Like it or not ; They have not brought
Honour & Glory to the Region , despite
being in control of the WICBC/CWI . So
in a scale of 1-25 what rating would you give the WICBC/CWI for its Stewardship of these versions of the game .

Now I cite this to illustrate that the
WICBC /CWI is a Hell of a Lot more
culpable for the Failures of Our Players , than the Players themselves .
In essence , did the Players in these
versions have Proper Camps ????

Were Coaches in attendance to point
out the Flaws & mistakes of the Players ?????

Were there Adequate Warm Up Matches
so that Players could have a chance to get acclimatized to both the Weather & the Pitches ??????

I get the impression that many in this Forum are willing to absolve the
WICBC/CWI from its Responsibility of
ensuring that the Competitiveness of Our Players in the longer versions of the game is on par with the competitiveness of other International Cricket Teams .

Many here seem to believe that the
People in the WICBC/CWI; Individually & Collectively are akin to being Sacred Cows , and that Status absolves them from being Criticized .

The Faux Journalists in the Media and
many in this Forum are perpetually
willing to give the WICBC/CWI a Free
Pass . I am not willing to do that .
Neither am I ever going to be one of their Boot Lickers .
