What Conde Riley said on Mason last Tuesday.

 
leman 2018-02-01 20:06:45 

I was offended by comments made by Conde Riley last Tuesday on the Mason and Guest show. He stated that he was speaking with an Englishman who stated that Bajan player was a different kind of player when compared to the other players in the Caribbean. Conde with his insular house slavish personality allowed and outsider (from a country that took our ancestors and enslaved them, took our resources to developed their ) to label our players ,label the Caribbean man. The same Conde that is a proud member of management WI cricket since 1996 and thinks they are not blame for the current state of the game in the region. Mason or one of guest should have stopped this coon of a man.

I am glad you opened up this topic. We need to explore this situation and individual further. I don't think it was fully addressed.

You are right. Mr POINT was always right in nailing them as the colonial masters, and Chrissy would be my divorce attorney next time so she can go for the jugular, as she did. (I won't fight with Chrissy at all).
It needed to be done and he needed to be told, to be confronted with the current situation which he did not want to hear about and/or did not care about at all and accepted no responsibility. How dare one challenge the Crown? "Our Barbados team is beating Trinidad" in the middle of a serious point.

This man's arrogant attitude seems worse than the "illustrious and esteemed" President (to some).
He did not want to hear the facts. He talked over people. He acted like he was bigger than all and almost like how dare you talk to me about this, in the meantime being busy admiring himself in his proverbial mirror like narcissistics do. I am sure he is probably bragging that he was the most popular man and had the most likes on that Mason show!! I don't know about his embellishments.

Don't worry about some defenders of the system saying a conciliatory tone should have been established. There is no good to be had here, unless someone becomes his shit house and begs for favors. That's how he presented.
The interviewer steered the interview beautifully.
Confrontation and embarrassment might bust his ego a little bit only and maybe open his eyes (they say break the denial of the Emperor floating in the air, looking down and talking down to his subjects). Then maybe the Lord might take a look at reality and do something about it.
Obviously, he is acting like he is accustomed to being treated like royalty, probably because some people indeed do so.
He has no intentions of relinquishing the crown. Problem? What problem?
So the governments (people) of the region let the likes of this Donald Duck carry on and royally screw up WI cricket over the generations.
PHEW! Glad I got that all out in one breath.
Of course, that is my personal opinion.

The great(to some) LFS Burnham gave great speeches. He said we got freedom but we are still slaves, or something to that effect.
Here is a perfect example of how powers that be encouraged this man's, and organization's, longevity and feed into his narcissism.
Burnham would have bought them out for $1 and tell dem to KYS(tm Chrissy).

In reply to goofballs

I know that YOU are well aware that I
agree with the Sentiments You have expressed .

Let once again state the Fact that ALL
of the People in the WICBC & The Regional Boards are MIMIC MEN ; who relish behaving like those who they inherited the WICBC/CWI .

There was a lot of fuss regarding
Frank Worrell becoming the Captain of the West Indies Cricket Team , and it sure as Hell was not about his Abilities .

The Shallow brained people in the
governance of West Indies Cricket ,
love hiring & firing Coaches ; as if
that is the heart of the problem .

PEOPLE WHO PURPORT TO BE CRICKET FANS

IN THE REGION NEED TO LOOK AT THE

NUMBER OF MATCHES OUR PLAYERS PLAY

VS THE NUMBER THEIR OPPONENTS PLAY .

This is at the heart of the demise of
our Players Competitiveness in the
International Cricket Arena .

Now this has been going on for years , sadly The Big Idiots play scant notice of this freaking Fact .

Lost on the Mimic Men is the stark fact that they have bluntly refused
to accept and acknowledge the fact
that :

THE STANDARD OF CRICKET IN THE REGION

IS BELOW WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THE

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET ARENA .

QUITE FRANKLY IT IS PISS POOR .

Obviously this must be seriously addressed if WE want to have a fully
competitive Team . I have not Heard
anyone in the Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth or
its Satellite Boards in the Region
utter any words regarding this stark & glaring FACT .

"I love you, Man."
Since I joined this MB I became a fan of yours and would look forward to sipping my coffee and reading Mr. POINT's posts every morning.
You made sense, had the courage to call it as you saw it (correctly, btw). I always wondered why it took many others years to gradually come to realization. Some are still cursing out the players.
I came back couple months ago and saw you around but never got the chance to greet you.
How are the PSEUDO JOURNALISTS doing? I haven't heard you mention them lately. Did they move on?

Ok, so you agreed with him.
You are speaking for 99.9% of MB? Where did I criticize all of the MB? Careful, they might add a hole to your MB last name if you ignorantly and blindly jump to conclusion and then try to abuse people.

When I first came on, a lot of people tried to ridicule him, especially the pro administration pimps, and they were aplenty.
Don't see them or the pseudo journalists much nowadays.
Mr.POINT has been validated over and over again. Just listening to that Cone creep tells it all.

His ego is feed by that narrative. That superiority complex of his infiltrates his rational senses.

In a way I am thankful he exposes his cards like that on the air - because that mentality permeates up and down the hierarchy in the BCA and for decades - yet it has no basis or backing in supportive facts. The REGION has produce great cricketers, but in the minds of some Bajan administrators something has to be inherently better about a Bajan cricketer - as we court the mothership in bowed servitude.

The evidence is empirical: he is part of the insular, selfish politics that have torn the fabric of our cricket potential and as long as that thinking stays in the shadows and boardrooms - change will never come. POINT is right, our journalist need to call this behavior out.

Debate the individual on the merits of his opinion.

Incidentally, I think he is correct, it was a sad reflection of this CWI director opinion and shows insularity.
Then again we have a CWI Board that is clueless.

This behaviour is common among many Caribbean folks and it is not just cricket that they have destroyed.
Every little guppy thinks he can survive the sharks by being nice to them.

In reply to goofballs

I am fully aware of Your strong Support . Thanks Bro It has been mutual Admiration , against the Might of the MIMIC MEN ; their Lackeys in the Media & their Sycophants in this
Forum .

Collectively these are the People who have greatly Retarded West Indies
Cricket .None of the above can dispute the following FACTS :

THE STANDARD OF CRICKET IN THE REGION

IS PISS POOR , ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN

THE REGION CAN FACTUALLY DISPUTE

THIS.


THEY CAN ALSO CANNOT REFUTE THE FACT

THAT OUR PLAYERS ARE PLAYING LESS

CRICKET THAN THEIR OPPONENTS IN THE

THE INTERNATIONAL CRICKET ARENA .

What is truly sad is the fact that this has been going on for many years
yet the MIMIC MEN have not addressed
these Issues .

In reply to pelon

I totally agree with the Sentiments You have expressed ; and I also thank You for also recognizing the fact that
most of the Lackeys in the Region who profess to be Sports Journalists but are actually STOOGES of the Mimic Men.

THEY , in my opinion are also as equally guilty as the MIMIC MEN who are in the governance of West Indies
Cricket .

It is their Individual & Collective
Silence that has empowered Those in
the Governance of Cricket Regionally
to be Egotistical ; Arrogant ; and
Narcissistic .

The end result of these Stooges of the WICBC/CWI & The Regional Boards is this stark and undeniable fact
that has ushered in the Demise of
West Indies Cricket .

I suppose those comments will be hard to refute given the behaviour and language of the current BCA President, Mr. Riley. I will say this though, he would not be in his position but for the devious machinations of Mr. Cameron. Shame on my cricketing hero, Joel Garner, to allow himself to be played like a fiddle by that manchild (but astute political weasel) Dave Cameron.

As a Barbadian I would readily disassociate myself from the regressive and divisive language of Mr. Riley and hold fast to the knowledge that true heroes like Frank Worrell give the lie to Mr. Riley's diatribe. Sir Frank must have been rolling in his grave listening to Conde's insular and dotish reporting on what some Englishman said about Caribbean people. It certainly shamed this Bajan.

We need another Frank Worrell to deliver us from the vile incompetence of our current crop of West Indies cricket administrators.

sgtdjones 2018-02-02 17:28:20 

In reply to Logic, pelon

In the islands and Guyana we will always find such
as Conde, he is towing the line that was written by Cameron.
It is sad he cannot see beyond his nose the disaster called Cameron Wavel Incorporated (CWI)

When Murray needed Garner he ran, Cameron is showing
Big bird what it means to be used and now pushed aside
as Lloyd was.

The incompetence of CWI and its directors will have a
lasting effect on a once proud tradition called Cricket
in the Caribbean. For 20 years the old boys network
delivered, we are now minnow status.

We have individuals who today blame the players.These players were sent to India without a contract,the funds payable to them were reduced. CWI called off the series, then started the lies leading to a proclamation of amnesty.
I didn't know amnesty had vindictiveness written all over it. We saw in in the past three years.

CWI failed to reach for the first time a World Cup tourney in England last year. CWI must now qualify
for the next one with minnows. Yet, it proclaimed two years ago we are building towards such tourneys with youth. Casting aside its senior players.

Today , the seniors have committed to other tourneys, that CWI gave NOC permission, the excuses have started if
the selected team fails to qualify.

CWI our senior players didn't commit to the progress of our program, carrying West Indies Cricket forward when
they were needed.

Watching from the sidelines should be fun.

You should refrain from commenting on
those here who are critical of what I
write . My take is that they are upset
that what I state is searing their minds , yet they covertly support the
the WICBC / CWI , by remaining Silent , regarding the Crass ineptness of those in the WICBC/CWI .

In essence by their Individual &
Collective Silence they are Supporting the Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth .

Some also simply want to pack the West Indies Team with Players from
their particular Island regardless of
whether they merit selection or not . .

POINT 2018-02-03 19:11:18 

In reply to hawk

First of all I believe that ALL Promising Players need to have their
deficiencies corrected by having Sessions & advice by Former Great Players ;to correct their Flaws .

The Template in my opinion is how the
Former Great Players employed By
Stanford who not only made our 20/20
Players the best in the World and
also helped Our Players in Winning :

TWO CONSECUTIVE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

IN THE SHORTEST VERSION OF THE GAME .

Let me remind ALL & Sundry that these
Victories were Achieved with little
help from the Mimic Men .

Frankly the WICBC/CWI do not , in my opinion intend spending money so that
Our Players can be fully competitive.

THEY ARE FEARFUL THAT MAKING OUR

PLAYERS FULLY COMPETITIVE , THEY WILL

THEN GO ELSEWHERE AND PLAY CRICKET .

The fact however is this , if the
Mimic Men decided to treat the Players with Respect , that would not happen in my opinion .

IN ESSENCE THE MIMIC MEN WHO ARE IN

THE GOVERNANCE OF CRICKET IN THE

REGION ; BELIEVE THAT BEHAVING LIKE

THOSE WHO FORMED THE WICBC IN 1929

IS THE BEST MODUS OPERANDI .

It has not yet dawned on the Emperors
that to get Respect , YOU HAVE TO
SHOW RESPECT . In essence RESPECT
MUST BE MUTUAL .

Sadly their LACKEYS in the Media
bluntly refuse to publicly state this
Freaking FACT .

" TO GET RESPECT YOU HAVE

TO SHOW RESPECT "

It is that freaking Simple . The very
fact that this has yet to be understood by the WICBC/CWI is freaking Amazing . There a many examples of the total disrespect by
Emperor Cameron .

The latest was Cameron's inability
to correctly ascertain what level
Contract Darren Bravo had . Now this
aint a figment of my imagination .

I believe that it is going to cost
Cameron & the WICBC/CWI mucho dinero ; Let me Crystal Clear , Bravo was
disrespectful by calling Cameron a
" Big Idiot " However this was started by the fact that Cameron to put it mildly Clueless regarding what
level Contract Bravo had .

Then Bravo was order home from the Tour . That was punishment despite the fact that : THE WICBC/CWI HAS A
DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE . In their
eagerness to punish Bravo that was bypassed .

THIS MEANT THAT BRAVO WAS NOT

ACCORDED A LITTLE IMPORTANT THING

CALLED " DUE PROCESS " IN THIS MATTER

Then Bravo was once again punished
for the very same offense by being
banned . I would like the Judge in this matter , when this Case is heard
and settled in Court ,refuse to grant
a Non Disclosure award to Bravo .

In essence the Public must know how much money the WICBC/CWI has to pay
Bravo regarding this Matter .

Any doubt or surprise that there is a major bias towards bajan players hence the multitude of them in West Indies teams, in particular, the test team, has had those doubts firmly removed after Riley’s comments here.

I did not see Riley speak about their quality of performance but discipline. Unfortunate that WI under this leadership is focussed on developing disciplined cricketers and not talented cricketers
