In fact, we will continue to sink as a unified cricket nation:

The CWI will continue to bleed the finances with imported British coaches and other expenses that will not benefit the players
There will be no remake of our administrative structure
Regional boards will continue to operate under the existing structure
Players will be blamed for all our problems by some "fans" in here.
Sponsors will continue to blank CWI
Empty stadiums will remain empty during CWI games

And so on and so on.

YOU are absolutely correct in your
assessment , Still no News about the
Wehby Report .

Interestingly all the FAUX SPORTS
JOURNALISTS in the Region as usual
will say nothing that would upset their Emperors in the Worst International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth , aka the WICBC .

The freaking fact is that if WE want
Cricket in the Region to improve it is imperative that the WICBC & the
Regional Cricket Boards undergo
total Restructuring .

Those currently in the WICBC & the
Regional Boards must be forever banned from having anything to do with Cricket in the Region .

Barbados is nearly sold out for the English leg of the tour.

No empty stands there.

In reply to Star

There will also hardly be any empty Seats in Barbados & Antigua . English Cricket Fans love the Sun ; Sea ; Beaches & Cricket in those 2
Countries , much more than
other Countries in the Region .

These two Countries are also filled
with much more English Historical Sites than other Islands in the Region .

In reply to POINT
Exactly. For Barbados and Antigua this is not about cricket. It is about filling hotel rooms. The stands will be filled with the Barmy Army.
As usual the CWI support will be a few old geezers and a dog or two.

THIS IS PRECISELY WHY THE GOVERNMENTS

OF THESE TWO COUNTRIES WILL BLUNTLY

REFUSE TO SIGN ON TO ANY CHANGES IN

THE STRUCTURE OF THE WICBC , AKA THE

WORST INTERNATIONAL CRICKET BOARD IN

THE COMMONWEALTH ; AND ITS MEMBER

BOARDS IN THE REGION .

I am reminded the following Adage :

" PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH ".

As long as they get their Pound of
Flesh , they are happy , they have
tangibly demonstrated that:

THEY REALLY DO NOT GIVE A DAMN

ABOUT THE STANDARD OF CRICKET IN

THE REGION , NOR THE COMPETITIVENESS

OF OUR PLAYERS IN THE INTERNATIONAL

CRICKET ARENA .

Getting Tourist Dollars is a hell of
a lot more important to them than Our Standing in the International
Cricket Arena .

Most if not all of the Faux Sports
Personalities in the Region will always agree with their Emperors in
the Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth , aka the
WICBC .

QUITE FRANKLY , THE GOVERNMENTS OF

BARBADOS & ANTIGUA WITTINGLY OR

UNWITTINGLY MUST BEAR SOME

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CURRENT STATE

OF OUR TEAMS IN THE INTERNATIONAL

CRICKET ARENA .

Essentially they have become Tools
of the Worst International Cricket
Board in the Commonwealth , aka the
WICBC .

IT IS A CRYING SHAME THAT THESE TWO

GOVERNMENTS HAVE BECOME WILLING TOOLS

OF THE WORST INTERNATIONAL CRICKET

BOARD IN THE COMMONWEALTH , AKA THE

WICBC .

One would expect that these Governments would demonstrate that they possess some semblance of INTEGRITY . Sadly that aint the Case
with regard to this Issue .

Heard that Rover the last cricket loving dog in Antigua died, so unfortunately it will just be the two old men.

RIP Rover

When allyuh start contributing to the economies of these two Islands, then you can talk.
Cricket and the English fans, helps both economies.
How many local fans, supports cricket?
With India coming to the region, T&T and Guyana will also reap the benefit of the Indian fans, I am seeing in Australia.

Coaching is over rated at the senior level

That said, a local boy should be allowed to eat a food, not that it would make much difference - we have been down that road b4!

All Windies cricket team needs is a good captain, ask Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards

Decentralized the game, too much bureaucracy!

Windies lost its way by trying to imitate other countries brand of cricket instead of doing it their traditional way!

WE ARE WHERE WE ARE BECAUSE IN THE

REGION THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN HIGH

POSITIONS , WHO ARE UTTERLY DEVOID

OF SCRUPLES AND INTEGRITY .


THESE FAILINGS ARE AT THE HEART OF

MOST PROBLEMS REGARDING CRICKET IN

THE REGION .

Sadly , as a result of these Machiavellian Tactics WE find ourselves Running Very Fast , but are still in the same Freaking Place . Worse yet many in the Region embrace this Freaking Behaviour .

They then go on Radio ; TV & in Newspapers ; and tell the Public , ALL the Ills regarding Cricket in the Region are perpetually due to the Flaws & Faults of the Players .

It never ceases to amaze me that many People in the Region in all walks of Life have yet to discover the fact that being Competitive in
the International Cricket Arena will
bring a Hell of a lot more People looking at Our Players playing Cricket , both at Home & Abroad .
