Looks like Devon got 'corrupted' during his stint with the Yard franchise.
Come in VOR.
In reply to Slipfeeler
where in hell this came from, I must be living under a crock never heard of this before, I always liked Devon Thomas
Oh Lord! players need to be more cognizant of the rules.
More importantly as reps of the region, a region where they are among the top earners they need to have clearer morals and integrity.
In reply to Narper
how will he survived without a steady income.
I hope someone is looking to help him despite the circumstances - his govt or cricket authority
I wonder how VOR is going to handle this latest development.
Devon? Retire now and enjoy your pension money because at 40 years old, you'll be all washed up playing cricket.
In reply to allan
Really you want the government to support him? He is an embarrassment to everyone
In reply to TheTrail
For which incident exactly?
Why do these guys gamble with their livelihood ...
In reply to grugru
that's when rehabilitation comes in Allan is right, support ones when they are down, For now he is charged until the hearing. And, if he's found guilty he should get all the help he can.
If found guilty then just as Chris Lewis went to prison and can direct youths both in the game of cricket and the game of life so too might Devon. Let's wait and hope.
In reply to grugru
you want him to die?
and others in west indies cricket have done just as bad or worst
What a waste of Bookie money.
Could D. Thomas really influence the result of a match?
I not going to pile on the guy when he’s down.
I have empathy for him.
Is not like he went South Africa or Rhodesia when apartheid was in full effect and international sporting boycotts of those countries were in place.
In reply to imusic
and even those guys were eventually forgiven
dont see why he cant be helped - even now

Ezra Moseley - played for West Indies
Colin Croft - a noted commentator
Yagga Rowe - they almost renamed a section of sabina park for him
In reply to imusic
VOR kept quiet during the Regional 4-day tournament, not a word on the non-selection of Devon Thomas.
The man has become a Secret Service representative.
In reply to openning
lol. You eh easy bro
hmm doubting thomas was in no doubt about taking it seems
In reply to allan
A few went on to pretty much overcome their pariah status in the Caribbean. Notably Croft. But not entirely.
Yes Moseley found his way on to a “proper” WI team but it was when he was well past his best
It’s a measure of just how much of a pariah Rowe is that the stand still isn’t named after him. Remember, Lawrence “yagga” Rowe was arguably Jamaica’s most loved and idolized cricketer…..until he went to South Africa……as captain no less.
And while Croft has achieved “success” as a pilot and a commentary career……that might be more to do with his “I doh give a fuck what anybody think about me” personality than anything else. He is not a beloved individual in WI cricket.

Bernard Julien
All had very challenging lives post South Africa. Some more challenging than others.
Bernard Julien was a trini “sweet man”. He was seen to be the heir to Gary Sobers on the field. Had all the talent one could want. Women wanted to be with him and men wanted to be him.
After South Africa, he was a literal pariah. Nobody wanted nothing to do with him. He ended up with ill health at a relatively young age.
All the rebels had consequences. Many of them, more serious than others.
In reply to imusic
The Yardies who migrated to the states escaped the worst of it Wynter, Mahtis, Rowe. We know the level of depravity to which Danny Germs and Chang fell. Bro, based on our history and culture Yagga could never, never, get a stand named after him jus' suh, not without serious controversy and angst. Rescinding was the best for all. In many ways because of staying in England Kalli is perhaps the most unscathed mentally, emotionally and financially.
Funny thing about Yard is that Jimmy Cliff is still revered. Maybe many Jamaicans didn't know he went to SA in the middle of the struggle. Some who knew tend to overlook it because he insisted that his audience had to be mult-racial but that is still hypocrisy (to me).
