...leeway to cripple the system of cricket in the Caribbean...continuity was gone then in regional cricket forever.
Well done India for your incredible vision for taking steps to negate the negative consequences of T20 for all and sundry.

We allowed the early IPL explorers...
You were forced..they were kicking and screaming with KLAS.
In reply to Khaga
And we pretended also to have West Indies cricket at heart...the heart of the flamingo.
Yes...And we fell for the smoke N mirrors and castigated and applied pressure on our bored to free up the natives.
I praise the Indian Bored for its foresight in dealing with this matter.
Also India benefited immensely from luring some hungry West Indian cricketers to IPL to marsh up West Indies cricket and also siding with them to protect its interest during the Indian tour debacle.
Well done India...very strategic indeed.
West Indian guerrillas never saw this coming.
In reply to Khaga
Check which regime forced them to seek alternatives, when they were discarded for "we are going with younger players
theme"?
In reply to sgtdjones
I know the scheming and plotting that went on..
In reply to Courtesy
is this aimed at the fluorescent flamingo and his sycophants, those of Surya's ilk or both?
In reply to sudden
It is aimed at the conspirators who dealt the coup de grace...flamingo, the good campus doctor et al.
All of those who lacked vision and could not see pass their noses.
.........................
The WICB were advocating then...play IPL within the window...but if West Indies cricket needs you during IPL, then your priority should be West Indies. The hogs wanted the whole hog.
And that was the end of Solomon a gunday.
In reply to Khaga
Btw Surya, have the Indian cricketers ever tested the restraint of trade issue in court?
In reply to Khaga
The above notes the regime Administration mandate for employment.
In reply to Courtesy
well-aimed then
In reply to Khaga
Notice the girth mail order bride individual
had to comment?
Ask him as he claims about the government he proudly proclaimed, he help elected in his lil england's performance to date?; IMF on the doorstep?.
Dem cant leave Big massa.

I don't shoot from the hip...only what's in my cross hairs.
It seems de sarge took a wild swipe.
In reply to Khaga
India doesn't need a restraint of trade clause.BCCI
compensates them properly. Only regimes that fail to compensate and cut players income by approx 50% need
such legal protection and a Union.
They dont need a gutless WIPA to be in bed with CWI.
I wonder if it's the above dem two referring to about
restraint?
West Indies are the most lowly paid cricketers in the cricketing universe.
Say it aint so folks?
In reply to Khaga
When one's own players reject playing for their Board.
Personal reasons.
They prefer to play in various leagues around the World
and ignore their local CWI tournaments.
It says all,doesn't it?
In reply to Courtesy
dem was all over radio and tv
shouting and cussing wicb
but anyone with a brain could see
it wasnt about our cricket legacy
it wasnt about our proud history
it was all about the IPL money
In reply to Courtesy
CPL should lure the Indian players to test the restraint of trade issue..
In reply to Khaga
CPL cannot afford such.
When a regime gives a private entity the T20 rights for allegedly 50 years and needs to seek that private entity
permission to hold any T20 tourneys in its region; I call it duncy management.
When one's best players seek personal reasons to disdain playing for that Board.It tells a sordid tale .
I would be ashamed to be asking about restraint of trade clauses.
In reply to Khaga
I recall a poster here riding on a cacophony of noise on KLAS wishing to start his own T20 league or knowing investors who can fund a lucrative league...if this had materialized that would have given IPL competition.
In reply to Khaga
Watch how they will change the goal posts.
That seems to me a reasonable compromise...but as I said..."The hogs wanted the whole hog" and nothing less.
And so ended the reign of Solomon a gunday.
In reply to Courtesy
they would cut off their nose to spite their face
In reply to sudden
In search of a few dollars more...to hell and back with West Indies cricket. I is I.
In reply to Courtesy
for a few dollars more
In reply to sudden
...and bling. Natives like trinkets too.
The hogs wanted the whole hog.
In reply to Courtesy

they eschew veracity
they embrace mendacity

Copyright restrictions???
Yep...you cannot have your whole hog and eat it.
Yep...time to call their bluff.
In reply to Courtesy
they demanded their NOC
thru their attorney
they attacked the WICB
they offered conditionality
they cited our proud history
never discussed availability
nor mentioned their insincerity
it was all about the IPL money
In reply to sudden
You're on fire.
Let's start from the beginning.
I'll first site the Jamaican adage, Two bulls can't reign in he same pen.
With Don Hilaire being the baddest of all bulls, he decided that Don Gayle didn't fit into his Star Team ideology being promoted and forced the Star-player in hiatus. The timing, however, was such that the enterprising owner of the IPL Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise was able to seize the opportunity to contract the unemployed Star to represent his organization. The rest, as they say, is history.
Ok, I know that the above are well known facts, but just wanted to ensure that we don't have a convenience of amnesia.

You are in fine form man...dat is Sir Gary making his 254 against Dennis Lillee...
IPL here I come.
Ah who I tink I fool?
In reply to Courtesy
their prima donna mentality
their star team ideology
that was their philosophy
it wasnt their deficiency
their lack of technicality
and overall cricket ability
that limited their productivity
then they feigned open honesty
for the Indian IPL money
In reply to sudden
And that was the end of Solomon a gunday.
Two sweet man...too sweet.
History will judge these factors for what they...mercenaries.
If there were no IPL and other PLs these factors would be lining up to play for West Indies.
Wasn't Jason Roy playing BBL...didn't he have to cut short his contract to play for England?
Weren't the Pakistanis who featured in CPL required to cut short their contracts and return to a training camp ahead of a series?
never heard such scatology
from the cognoscenti
it was Gibson's physiology
not the prima donnas' inactivity
it wasnt their inconsistency
it was the coach's identity
causing WI to lose constantly
so let them seek the IPL money
In reply to sudden
The proverbial "burying their heads in the sand..."
Coach Gibson's backing of his charge Shillingford had to endure the wrath of the prof...even calling for his immediate resignation.
However ..was in fulsome praise of Clive Lloyd for defending Narine.
What an egg laying ostrich.
"They are not students of the game..."
our new reality
is that we arent ready
to defend our legacy
to protect our history
dont care who lead we
once there is insularity
no plan or remedy
and so it shall be
the IPL money
In reply to sudden
OVER - di inversion of reality has been reversed.
Dat is all.
Welcome to the new dawn.
to get back to supremacy
we must act responsibly
construct a winning philosophy
dsiplay a positive mentality
practice rigorously
embrace our legacy
remember our history
and forget the IPL money

Preach it mate, preach it. "Those who have ears let them hear" and assimilate.
And down with the traitors and other flamingos...for they will not inherit West Indies cricket.
CWI must manage wisely
treat the players fairly
not with scant respectability
WIPA must represent everybody
test players are its responsibility
not just the players regionally
if we do that professionally
we wont need IPL money
In reply to sudden
Like cogs in the Rolls Royce engine must be our philosophy moving forward.
All parts must be thoroughly tested and passed before they are allowed into the system.
In reply to sudden
Are you writing a kadooment song for Peewee?
and to the players finally
we must bat positively
field with alacrity
and whether slow or quickly
we must bowl wisely
the pitches must be grassy
like Sabina and Kensington used to be
lick down dem Aussies
run bout a few pommies
like we did to Bedi
represent the West Indies
sponsorship, ads and selling jerseys
could earn fame and lots of money
In reply to sudden
Amen.
In reply to sudden
De IPL money is no longer a problem since dey now have a window. Going forward its going to be the little league T20's dat may be the problem since de number of WI players appear to be dwindling in de Big T20 Leagues. Ah was wondering aloud de other day if the apparent decrease had anything to do with the declining number of international appearances.
Carlos seemed to have bridged the gap well making himself available for both the Big Bash and the Regional Super 50 this year and last year.
On the other hand a certain Universe Leader has read the tea leaves and has made himself available for international duty just as his stock seemed to be falling
That come like saying if there was no Jackie Robinson, Black people would be lining up to play negro leagues
In reply to Maispwi
When last Carlos play for West Indies in anything other than T29?
In reply to imusic
There is a reason why "lining up" was used in the sentence. I never expected you to figure it out...try as you may, for you, that's mission impossible.
In reply to imusic
November 2016. Is not his fault de coach say he was better off warming de bench in last year's IPL instead of playing him against Pakistan last April.
The point was dat he was available to play the Regional Super 50 at de expense of his stint in de BBL last year and ia also available dis year
