HEADLINE: WICB directors reject sacking rumours

 
CaribbeanCricket.com Nov 5, 2014, 9:04:17 AM 

Three WICB directors have told ESPNcricinfo that, contrary to speculative reports in the Caribbean media, no decision has been taken to sack the three international captains: Denesh Ramdin (Test), Dwayne Bravo (ODI) and Darren Sammy (Twenty20).
    On Tuesday some of the directors had a meeting over teleconference, including WICB president Dave Cameron, but the WICB did not issue any release. According to Azim Bassarath, who did not participate in the conference call, no one had informed him about the trio being removed. He said the task force set up by the three warring parties - players, WICB and WIPA - would report back with steps to resolve the situation. According to him, the next board of directors meeting was scheduled for December 13 in Jamaica.

Powen, how did you not find it strange that the WICB would just get up and sack its three team captains...

I was cracking up when I heard Ralph hint at the possible consequences if the WICB decides on Thursday to sack all three captains. The WICB apparently got the message.

strange??
Nothing is strange about the WICB BQ big grin

but the straight answer is that I did not want to believe it..hence my caution to bawl on this one.

I adopted Ralph Gonzalves stance of...naaah.. it cant be true.

So now that they deny it...it Definitely cant happen now..and RAMDINS sacking is a HORSE of a different color!!

right? big grin

but, generally sacking of captains should occur as well as heads within WICB and WIPA.

sacking should also occur at CC.com

The Captains should be sacked and I hope WICB has the testicular fortitude to do it.

They better thank the Mason show for saving their backsides.

As I said before and will continue to say, the people who make up the WICB are educated fools who act and then think afterwards.

Don't let them fool you, they were about to sack the three captains after assuring the two Right Honorable Prime Ministers that they would not victimize any of the players.

Can you imagine these men of no shame were about to disrespect the two Prime Ministers?

Prime Minister Gonzalves should not have said one word after getting that tip. He should have allowed them to go ahead with their stupidity and then expose them for what they are, and then use his influence with the other Caricom Governments to tighten the noose around them.

IMO the 3 senior men in Bravo, Sammy and Ramdin acted irresponsibly and exhibited poor leadership by threatening not to play, by engaging their their union in a public brawl, and by ignoring management pleas to 'play cricket' and take up their grievances later.

They were also naive because they did not understand the consequences of withdrawing their services in the middle the tour..

Mate, can you provide any link to this piece of info or any proof you may have? It will assist greatly my spinning for the WICB.

Thanks, in anticipation of a prompt response.

Currently it looks as though they have only
rescinded their decision , because they now realize that the Regional Governments will
not help them if they reneged o their promise .

In essence THEY WERE COERCED INTO STOPPING

THE FIRING OF THE CAPTAINS . THIS IS WHY

THEY MUST NOT GET A BLASTED PENNY .


FOR YEARS THEY & THE ICC ALWAYS PUBLICLY

STATED THAT GOVERNMENTS MUST NOT INTERVENE

IN CRICKET ; BUT NOW THAT THE FECES HAVE

HIT THE FAN THEY ARE BEGGING THE REGIONAL

GOVERNMENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE .

POINT Nov 5, 2014, 2:44:30 PM 

I was in favour initially of the Regional Governments assisting them getting money .
I stated that in this Forum , but as I have stated elsewhere , they have proved themselves to be a very Dishonest Bunch ; so they must not get one blasted penny .

It would be better for the Region to start over than to get in bed with this Bunch . I hope that people here observed their modus
operandi .


THEY WERE READY TO SAY THAT AT THE

INTERNATIONAL LEVEL THE PLAYERS WERE FINE

; BUT AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL THE PLAYERS

COULD BE FIRED .


Just freaking imagine ; they are begging for money , and are still being Arrogant
and Vindictive . No Sir , they ALL have to go home ; without a blasted penny .

No one can honestly tell me that this Bunch is interested in the well being of Cricket in the Region .

Once they get the money they are going to again be Arrogant ; Incompetent ; Inept ;
lacking Accountability . lacking Foresight
& Vision ; lacking in Good Governance ; andfrittering away money Stupidly . They
must all go . Cricket in the Region will be better off when they leave .
