Becca on Foreigners Taking Over
Monday, May 30th, 2005Tony Becca on the the influx of foreigners in charge of the West Indies cricket team:
“Apart from the embarrassment of so many white foreigners in West Indies cricket and the reminder of the days which so many had thought were behind us, the second thing it is saying to me is that the West Indies, this West Indies that is short of so many basic facilities for its people, that cannot pay its teachers enough to keep them at home, is so rich that it can afford to pay a team of Australians to teach West Indians how to play cricket.
But that is not all. As if four foreigners are not enough, the West Indies Cricket Board has now turned to another to an Irishman residing in North America.”
* I don’t have a problem with the (white) foreigners taking over. I just wish they’d direct the investment/resources in the right place. The senior team is *not* that place.
