He is on now...

what Beckles running for?
In reply to Ewart
The real crisis is that this opportunist continues to have a voice and influence in west indies cricket.
I saw Sammys plea on facebook it was cringe worthy he came across as an entitled twat
so what you guys think Beckles want?
That was my seminar title back in 1988 - The Crisis in West Indies Cricket - hosted by Professor Norman Girvan.
Closing argument before the election.
Hope someone can post his ten point plan for CWI/WICB future.
In reply to camos
1. He wants the High Performance Centre restored.
2. He gave the impression he wanted a new approach... but at the end he said he wants a change in personality!

In reply to Chrissy
where is Girvan, is he still alive?
In reply to Chrissy
Oh dear....
//
In reply to Chrissy
Whats your take of his speech?
In reply to camos
No. Died a few years ago at age 72 following a fall during a hike in mountainous territory.
//
In reply to Ewart
thought so too, a new guy would be receptive to him, Cameron would say see you later!
In reply to Ewart
Not only personality, but governance.
He went over the Patterson report, to let the listener know, it is sitting somewhere, catching dust.
In reply to camos
He gave his ten points he would like to see.
Then he basically said current leadership (read Cameron) is not going that way and is instead extending quarrelling among stakeholders.

In reply to camos
Girvan died after falling off a waterfall cliff in Dominica - he was alive for a few weeks but never conscious - a lovely human being.
In reply to openning
but he was a director since that report was presented, did he leave in protest of it not been adapted?
Brilliant statement by professor Hilary Beckles.
Barbados I do acknowledge that academically you are the most advanced society in the region.
You are selling yourself and the entire Caribbean short if you will sacrifice the long term development and who we are as a people in the interest of personal gain.
It his shortsighted to think that the status quo will bring about meaningful change and replace us as a reckoning force in world cricket.
My call or the changing of the guard is because of the stubborn resistance to these facts. Being unawre that all along those who held the reigns of power have been well place to effect this change.
Nepotism had blinded us as well.
I plead with directors in the interest of WI cricket to make about turn and arrest this crisis.
Well said Dr Beckles
Do the right thing Barbados.
Do the right thing Julian Charles
In reply to openning
Did not hear it but suspect he's jumping ship after local realities
In reply to Chrissy
My form-mate at Calabar 1952 - 58.

In reply to Ewart
Everyone is jumping ship at di last minute. Deading wid laff
In reply to camos
Chris, you know better than most of us, Independent directors, only meet at board meetings, a few times a year.
Case in point, the Challenger.
In reply to camos
You
So stop the dilli dalli.
This is about WI cricket. Cameron has done some good things but he refuses to implement or convinced fellow directors away from this piecemeal approach to cricket development.
In reply to ponderiver
Do you even understand the issues and what needs to be done to fix them?
In reply to openning
Where was he on the Lucky Report?
Sammy was personal. I ain't.
UWI really allowed Beckles to use tax payers resources like that for personal purposes?
In reply to Chrissy
Were you able to discuss West Indies cricket, any time with Beckles?
In reply to camos
What tax payer resources?
Barbados government owes UWI $200 million ...they make students free and then dont.pay the fees.
Beckles got Sagicor to finance HPC....Cameron ran them off.
In reply to doublecentury
Beckles is at Mona ,I think the financing for that is Ja gov.
In reply to camos
Well he is vice chancellor , so head of all three campuses...but he was cave hill and built the three Ws ground at cave hill and put the HPC in Barbados. But I was asking about your comment that he uses taxpayer funds for personal use. That would surprise me greatly.
In reply to doublecentury
Poor Camos, trying to justify voting for Dave.
In reply to doublecentury
The Three Ws ground at Cave Hill preceded Beckles.
In reply to tc1
for what reason, Dave has not done anything for Jamaica?
In reply to positiveg
Beckles should know, he started the crisis.
In reply to Chrissy
There was a cricket ground ...Beckles got Sagicor to upgrade it at significant cost to meet ICC first class standards...it is very hard to deny that sir Hilary beckles was the driving force in obtaining major sponsorships for the cricket ground, the HPC and even the business school.
In reply to doublecentury
Beckles was on the board of Sagicor and Clico and we all know how that ended Yeah he good at securing sonsorship smh
In reply to ponderiver
Never knew he was on the board of Clico....in fact I am pretty sure he wasnt...
In reply to doublecentury
pay no attention to curlie, he is carrying the flag.
In reply to tc1
much unlike you!
In reply to camos
anyone who is supported by Suck up Sammy and greedy Beckles
Frankly I wish Jamaica was not involved in this s..t show its over and we are best out of it
We have the largest population the largest diaspora and best known international brand why on earth do we continue to be part of this? it is beyond me
In reply to ponderiver
leaders lack vision!
