BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) -- There is unlikely to be any urgent meeting between the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and Caricom to discuss the radical Governance Review Report which has called for the immediate dissolution of the WICB.

Speaking at the Cayman Cricket's Annual Awards Dinner last weekend in George Town, embattled WICB President Dave Cameron insisted that the board of directors first needed to go over the controversial report before any meeting with Caricom could be held.

Grenada's Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell, chairman of Caricom's Cricket Governance Committee, had said earlier this month that an "urgent meeting" had been requested with the WICB to discuss the implementation of the panel's recommendations.

Is anyone surprised by this?

The WICB will just drag its feet and 'study' this for the next 10 years!

I predicted this latest recommendation will go the way of all the others that preceded it.

was this posted? I'm out of the loop

Can they get Portia to jail Cameron?

In reply to VIX

No this wasn't posted. Thanks for posting.

In reply to Larr Pullo

no surprise.

In reply to VIX

But will DD listen to any of them?

In reply to sudden

de man uses your playbook...

this is a cake case for you..

What would Sudden Do?

Stall..while brainstorming an action response that will promote his bravado and chest thumping using any straw available as an excuse from his political bag of tricks.

In reply to Larr Pullo

Jail too good fuh teflon dave.....he is the most arrogant sob ever to grace the halls of the WICBC and he believe that he will get away with his arrogance all the time......like a certain PM he is fond of saying that he was elected, and though that is true, again like a certain PM he is unable to recognize that he is the cause of the ruination done to this once revered institution and step aside, it is people like him that would take you to hell in a hand basket and smile and ask if you are alright........something need to be done with him, what? only the Almighty know, but the sooner he is gotten rid of, the sooner the healing can begin......will the replacements do a better job? who knows, one thing for sure is that they cannot do worse, and if by chance they do, then collectively we should apologize to teflon dave..........

he an his actions would make a billy goat puke.........nonsense..

In reply to powen001

Although I don't think that politicians should interfere with the running of such bodies corporate like WICB, on this occasion I will make an exception. The time has come and change has to come.

I would advise DD to embrace the changes called for and make it look like he is a change manager

In reply to sudden

ok..

So if you were indeed advising Dave...

I praytell...what would you say to convince Dave that that is the correct course of action?

Have you seen any evidence that Dave cares about the greater good?

How are you gonna convince Dave that he could go from Zero to Hero by being THE change agent here?

In reply to powen001

By pointing out the alternatives. He is the object of hatred and seen as a failure and a buffoon. I think DD loves to be loved.

Public opinion is against the board and at an all time low. If changes are not made in house changes will be forced upon them. Changes they won't like.

In reply to sudden

Dave seh to tell all yu

In reply to sudden

ok..now we drifting in to what can be legally done versus what could happen by way of moral and withdrawal of Public purse support.

Cant you see Dave playing Hard Stall Ball?

He started already...cause he will seek to garner...pardon the pun public support using the NON interference excuse until it drier than bones in a desert.

honestly...I expect nothing from Dave...but you are correct...IF he could see that he could indeed WIN from this...a la Charlie Sheen...He would DO the right thing and claim that he s always been about WI cricket being served...

How many people behind the scenes will be pissed , how many still waitin on various tings promised by Cameron for supporting him?

Its deeper than the report...we know this.

A man for all seasons comes to mind...and He aint the man...even if I hope that he gives in.

In reply to DIEHARD

same ting I telling Sudden

and thats his own words...


maybe if his parents are alive we could get them to talk to him.

cause this certainly feels like a hostage situation

If there ever as a big "go to hell" to Caricom, this is it

Dave a bad man

Its on Caricom to act swiftly. Lets see if they will now drop the ball or take a knee

DD has done a lot since taking over the presidency.

He is now an executive president - never happened before
He has conquered WIPA - WIPA now appears to be a subsidiary of WICB
He has brought about a professional 4 day league- contracted players are paid about 3k US


Nuff things to brag about

As sheik would say this is "funny as fcuk"

Carigobringcom doan have a chance as long as eediot bwoy Keith ah run tings .... sudden will lose weight before this happens

In reply to sudden

oh gord Keith gine send di nutmeg flotilla to sort out di harrogant yardie what a ting

real banana republic stuff this,who would have thought our second coup would be over who rules over cricket.

Cricket will keep keith in the limelight..... no other policies will suffice for his constituents

In reply to ponderiver

Wait... You getting on v razzy. Somebody stole your jherri curl gel?

In reply to sudden

Now let's look at the PCL the product is absolutely abysmal and that is the proof in the pudding.

In reply to Larr Pullo

I like that suggestion.

In reply to VIX

This article shows the arrogance of this guy and reflects why we had that debacle in India.

Unnoo behaving like unooo really expected it to be anything else. Teflon Dave aint the fus one to stick it to Caricom and wont be the last.

If Caricom want to call the shots they better be prepared to subsidize the WICB like the ICC does. Until then Mitchel can keep blowing hot air up......

And if memory serves me right unnoo same one was calling for the head of the 3 presidents and their record as president is arguable just as bad or even worse than teflon Dave. This is comical.

In reply to denoke

Indeed!

why doesn't the board fire Cameron for these ultra vires acts ?

In reply to camos

Yuh think Camerom mek dis decision by himself? Cameron know he gat de board support here!

Well, all the people who buried their head in the sand and re-elected Cameron are getting what they deserve.

Cameron is an arrogant piece of work but he is there only because the constituent members of the WICB want him there.

He is just the titular head; a major part of the problem, but he is not alone.

Nothing he does is without the consent of the full WICB, which is rotten and incompetent to the core.

This didn't start with Cameron and neither will it end with his departure, unless there is radical reform of that unwilling institution.

saying that nothing done by Cameron is not without the consent of the board is like saying nothing a PM does is not without consent of cabinet. i can tell you the latter is a lie

Apparently, process and deliberation are not part of best practice in management on the plantation

Politicians call for board abortion and y'all expect Cameron to bend over immediately.

Cameron calls for time and as the President he ought to be accommodated and afforded that courtesy.

In reply to sudden
not comparable situations, a PM can replace his cabinet,Cameron can't fire a coach!

In reply to camos

man, were we comparing that? to the extent that a leader, any leader, can set an agenda and get his board or cabinet to support him, it is a reasonable comparison. what you miss is that cabinet and the PM's party can replace him so can the WICB board replace DD. sometimes i think you overreach by miles. where does the coach come into this argument?

In reply to sudden

In reply to camos

ok. the PM cant fire a Permanent Secretary

In reply to sudden that is civil service, no one can!

In reply to camos

ok boss

In reply to sudden

Word is there are two India tours next year.

In reply to Commie

DD large and in charge then

In reply to sudden

Carl0002 articulates the situ well.

In reply to Commie

Commie boy I sense that things are different this time around. My people tell me that everyone has come to an understanding that things have to change and are ready. DD and WICB cannot withstand the winds of change. He better embrace it fully of he will be blown away. I understand that TT is willing to underwrite some elements of the revamped board

In reply to sudden

If he gets the 2 India tours even the new TTCB rep will fall in line.

Where you think they get their money from ?

You said it best. This is a political role and some are better at it than others.
