Writing in the Business Guardian about the period of West Indies cricket dominance and Trinidad and Tobago dominance in the field of natural gas monetisation, Anthony Wilson argued that we failed to appreciate the true greatness of our endeavours and thus missed their lessons.

We did not analyse processes sufficiently and never tried to model future projects on them, he said, and so, we frittered away our inheritance. Full Story

Once again we have the pseudo Sports Journalists tinkering at the edges .

It is truly amazing that for years these Charlatans just havent got it , wittingly or unwittingly .

THE FACT REMAINS THAT THOSE WHO

DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS SPORTS

JOURNALISTS ARE A LARGE PART OF

THE PROBLEM , DUE TO THE FACT

THAT BY REFUSING TO BE VERY

CRITICAL OF THE WICB FOR

YEARS ,THEY HAVE AIDED &

ABETTED THE WICB IN ITS MAL

GOVERNANCE OF CRICKET IN THE

REGION .

Folks ,there aint going to be any improvement in Cricket in the Region unless & until those who say that they are Sports Journalists really scrutinize all aspects of the governance of the WICB in Cricket in the Region ; and speak & write about the woeful behaviour of the WICB . If indeed they have testicular fortitude then they can start by finding out what has happened to the much celebrated & heralded PATTERSON
REPORT . I dare them to do that .

T&T should not share anything with the rest of the region......T&T should see bout T&T bizness alone. Let the rest of the region play politics.


YOu got jabba the hutt in guyana, he aint doing one crap.......he getting more big though just in time for his next installment of jabba the hutt 2.

Jackie Hendricks to busy playing politics in jamaican cricket. Barbados too busy forking over young bright players like jason bennett , really its a damn shame he has to be playing with CCC

Antigua and the rest of the dots well them to busy being losers.

If the WICB was interested in improving Cricket in the Region and making our Team competitive
it would have distributed copies of that DVD , and sent them all over the Region .

But the WICB has never done anything to improve Cricket in the Region .

I am challenging any member of the WICB , past or present to state exactly what contribution the WICB made to usher in , or enhance the Golden Eras of West Indies Cricket . I however aint holding my breath .

I would also like any Player to tell me anything that the WICB did that contributed to making the Team superior to other Teams in those Golden Eras .

The WICB for decades hasnt been interested in improving Cricket in the Region , or making our Team competitive , if it was , then it would have had more Regional Tournaments in the 3 versions of the game , and also give the Team Coaches these are things that can be done right now . Instead it talks about what it intends to do in the future .
