Then I guess it's unanimous.
Jumpy it is then lol.

A test cricket aficionado will do!

So we need someone over 85!!

Any t20 cricketer who can bat 5 balls for 15 runs will suffice, indeed

..
Jumpy is a pupil of Civil Engineering at the moment
He's educated better than everyone at CWI headquarters and the CWI Board of Directors about cricket.
A pearl amongst swine's.
His skills will be better employed in infrastructure development in the Caribbean.

Easy wuk
Just take instructions from India
Food, travel and a decent salary

Did that WIPA strike during the Bangla tour of the WI have anything to do with it?

Talking about the strike that resulted in the birth of the SCABS, captained by Pretty Boy Reefer, and which propelled the now great $ammy into leadership.

People on here seem to strongly believe India is responsible for suffocating WI cricket.

In reply to VIX

Opening fits that bill I think.

WIPA strike could have happened a lot earlier. it is to the players' credit that they didn't strike on the return england series, which was hastily arranged by cwi and the ecb because SL had players in the IPL and the sri lanka board said it would not restrain the trade of SL players by forcing them to give up their ipl contracts in favor of a test series in alien conditions that they were likely to lose. Which is ironically the same decision the WICB was faced with when they arranged that tour that wasn't on the FTP. And the board was so illiterate and dunce that they actually believed the WI had a chance of retaining the wisden trophy even though there were only a few weeks separating the english visit of the caribbean, which was on the FTP and this glorified practice session for the ashes which would follow. It is in that context that chris gayle said he wouldn't mind if test cricket died. those perennial idiots spoiled the contest. Gayle understood what it meant to be a professional cricketer. he knew you couldn't wake up in the morning and decide that you were going to beat england in england with almost no time to prepare. Australia, best team in the world has not beaten england in england since 2001 and nobody prepares more meticulously than them

bangladesh was weak opposition so there was no better time for the board to deal with the players' issues. I was actually in the US on vacation when that took place. West Indian administrators don't seem to understand that a cricketer is a highly skilled professional. You don't manage a billion dollar industrial plant like a hotel or parlor

west indies fall started when dessie haynes wasn't appointed captain after viv retired. cwi couldn't take another alpha male. the dude they actually hired became the first yes man in a broken sequence of yes men....lara, gayle, adams ramdin and bravo being the exceptions. sarwan didn't captain long enough but yuh know he was an alpha male....if he had stayed on, it would only been a matter of time before he and the air condition morons drew swords
