Bassarath returns as president TTCB

Smoke en­gulfed the Na­tion­al Crick­et Cen­tre (NCC) be­cause of a hor­ri­ble bush fire last evening and while it raged, in­cum­bent pres­i­dent Az­im Bas­sararh was busy smok­ing out his con­tender Di­nanath Ram­nar­ine on the in­side.

The Moru­ga res­i­dent who has been in charge of do­mes­tic crick­et for the past nine years will con­tin­ue to lead, af­ter he de­feat­ed Ram­nar­ine 31 votes to 13 for the top post of the sport lo­cal­ly.

On­ly on Mon­day, Bas­sarath was the sub­ject of an au­dit for 2014-2016 con­duct­ed by the Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny (NGC) which made na­tion­al news head­lines af­ter the TTCB was ac­cused of mis­al­lo­ca­tion of $3 mil­lion dol­lars.

The funds were spon­sor­ship from the NGC, a state-owned com­pa­ny which re­quest­ed the TTCB to re­pay that mon­ey forth­with.

With this mat­ter still un­re­solved, Bas­sarath still man­aged to win a con­fi­dence vote from the gen­er­al mem­ber­ship in con­vinc­ing fash­ion to the dis­ap­point­ment of his op­po­nent.

The con­tro­ver­sial Ram­nar­ine, who to­geth­er with a for­mer na­tion­al cap­tain Daren Gan­ga raged a le­gal court bat­tle with the or­gan­i­sa­tion chal­leng­ing the 12 out­go­ing votes held by the ex­ec­u­tive, proved to be not a wor­thy con­tender on the day.

In an im­me­di­ate re­ac­tion, Ram­nar­ine said it was still a vic­to­ry for him be­cause dur­ing the process he was able to bring to light many short­com­ings by the TTCB. "Win­ning an elec­tion is just a small part of it and I will con­tin­ue to fight for good gov­er­nance."

Man, looks like this Dinas guy is a born loser.

Or can we blame this latest loss on the horrible nearby bush fire that coincided with the elections.

I wrote something similar earlier, but did not save it.
He has been campaigning for a couple years, even had flag waiving Point as his assistant.

I am surprised at the results

It is obvious that the representatives are happy with all the controversies that surround T&TCB.

One can control such by "Rum till I die syndrome",
and it has worked here.

Since this Administration and 4 elections later Cricket
have regressed, a look at our FC teams in the Caribbean competition run by CWI shows such. Post-mortems are done
yet we don't improve.

It is a sad day for Cricket in T&T.
