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.
The people in POS and Kingstown, ready to stone them two, if they try putting placards up again.

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.
