Former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd has said that West Indies cricket has been "messed up" by the T20 format, creating a situation where playing Tests for the country did not seem to be a paramount goal for players.

Speaking at the Annual New Year's lecture in Cape Town, which is also hosting the third Test between South Africa and West Indies, Lloyd said that the ICC needed to be stronger and that the game could not be ruled by only three countries - a reference to the governance and financial restructuring of the ICC cricket's governing body, which took place last year and was based on changes devised by the BCCI, Cricket Australia and the ECB.

I read the article and I am not sure if to laugh or cry at Lloyd. A few things for Lloyd:

1. The Horse has already bolted

2. WI problem is not T-20 it is lack of leadership

3. Socialism don't work

4. Where were you when the ICC was being reconfigured- did you lobby the WICB to not vote for the proposal

5. Now we understand why you are punishing Bravo, Pollard, Sammy.

6. Whatever doubts I had about you, your speech has erased it- you are old goods and cannot offer any benefits to WI cricket. Go retire in peace and thanks for your service.
