- "he (Ramanarine) depends mainly on bluster and bluff more than substance to press his case and provoke reaction for imaginary and non-existent issues."

FORMER president of the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) Dinanath Ramnarine has been described as hypocritical for his criticism of the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) of which he is an ordinary board member.

And he has been advised by Manohar Ramsaran, an executive TTCB member to do the honourable thing and resign his position from the sport’s national body before going public with his baseless comments.

This after Ramnarine, who was replaced last year as WIPA president by Jamaican Wavell Hinds, told a local daily newspaper that he was confused by the TTCB’s stance on the recent removal of wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin as captain of the West Indies Test team ahead of their tour of Sri Lanka later this year.

Ramsaran, widely regarded as one of T&T best sports ministers said while Ramnarine is casting aspersions on the governance of the TTCB, he is displaying the same undesirable qualities he seeks to condemn.

“It is unethical and highly irresponsible to be a member of an organization and run to the media and air your views when there are processes within the organization to have your complaints and concerns properly addressed,” said Ramsaran.

And I thought Ramnarine had retired (quit, whatever) and gone on to pursue 'other' interests.

Don't tell me that those interests resulted in failures also.

Ah pleaaase.
It is true.
Where is Basssarath to complain about the selectors dissing Ramdin? Holder would have been a good vice captain for the rest of this year and then replace Ramdin next year because no way are we going to win any series this year.

Bassarath and his cohorts should be the ones to resign for having no back bone and facing up to the WICB.
Bunch of yes men for the WICB.

Go Dinas.

“It was under his watch that regional cricket was made a laughing stock and while he advocated a militant approach to resolving players’ issues, the fortunes of the team hit rock bottom and is yet to recover,” said Ramsaran.


Interesting... It was Dinas who ensured that the players got atleast decent wages for the FC cricketers and facilities... before that the administrators were just asking the players to just play for pride.


“While our good friend has chosen to gripe and snipe, we have a sacred duty to put the nation’s cricketers first ahead of personal agendas and self-promotion, and we have been reaping the rich rewards of our efforts on the field of play at all levels,” said Bassarath.


Not sure about the rich rewards that T&T cricket has harvested over the last 3-4 years... I did not see a new player emerge from T&T. Shanon Gabriel is the Reward he is talking about I think.

I did not realise that Dina & WIPA were responsible for the administration of West Indies cricket!

Who ensured that our cricket became the laughstock of world cricket?

Talk about re-writing history! Who was responsible for the wrong-headed, no, idiotic,policy of dispensing with the best players and trying to create a star team led by laughable Darren Sammy!
