Pybus Gone and Browne Gone

New coach and chief of selectors to be announced shortly

In reply to Chrissy

The new President is rewarding those who voted for him. I heard a rumor recently that the BCA vote was split, which might explain the new coach. The Yardies will be happy with the new chief of selectors smile

 
Emir 2019-04-09 12:07:26 

In reply to Walco

But this isn't about Bim or Grenada or Trinidad or Jamaica individually but about all are "wi" collectively called the West Indies so when you speak of Bim vote split and Yardies being happy it simply conveys an insular tone.

The removal of Browne is a necessary, I can think of no selector who has been so arrogant, inept, nasty towards fans and timid towards Cameron.

 
Walco 2019-04-09 12:20:11 

In reply to Emir

You are preaching to the choir boss. I have a dream that CWI one day will be such a well run organization that Presidents will come and go without the need to make wholesale changes. But sadly this is not our reality. Don't forget that Dave also rewarded those who voted for him six years ago.

BTW, I do not share your views about Browne. I have met and spoken with him and he did not come across as arrogant or inept. I actually like the policy of selecting a core group of talented young men and giving them good runs instead of the usual chopping and changing. I don't know about Browne being nasty towards fans either. He was not nasty towards me. Actually he was friendly and engaging. But elections have consequences ...

When people are in charge of something so subjective (like selecting a cricket team) if their views don't coincide with "mine" then "I" label them and ascribe to them all sorts of negative traits.... as my good friend Emir has done in his post above.

 
camos 2019-04-09 12:32:48 

there was no need to remove Brung at this moment or the coach for that matter, based on recent performance we could wait until the end of July/August.

Pybus Gone and Browne Gone

GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!!

Total fumigation!

Hunte gone! Hillaire gone! Sammy gone Cameron gone! Windies gone! Pybus gone! Browne gone!

A new day is dawning and the ancien regime has been obliterated!

Now they just need to come and get Wavell Hinds, to refresh the atmosphere to ensure a really new dispensation is at hand, and a less toxic climate around West Indies cricket

Exactly. That is what I don't understand about a number of persons here. They don't seem to allow for differences in opinion.

 
JOJO 2019-04-09 14:03:55 

In reply to Walco

The problem here is that there is a WC coming up in two months and a team has to be selected in a matter of days.

The current selection panel would have had a plan (whether you agree with it or not) and would have been “actively” looking at players over the past few months. Team selection for the recent tournaments were related to team selection for the WC (again, whether you agree or not).

So now, a new chair (and perhaps a new panel) may have to select the WC squad. Have they been watching and following cricket as closely as the current panel? Do they know the players as well as the current panel?

 
natty_forever 2019-04-09 14:07:19 

Well in my humble opinion, Browne has been improving. I think with the yoke of Cameron removed from his neck, he will continue to improve.

 
pariaman 2019-04-09 14:12:28 

In reply to natty_forever

He was comprised by Cameron and hence should never be allowed to be a selector again

I believe Simmons stated that Brown picked the team that he wanted regardless of input from the coaches. Does not seem right to me
He should be replaced just for that attitude

 
Walco 2019-04-09 14:20:44 

In reply to JOJO
I happen to share your concerns and I think they will be aired at length during the meeting today. I do not know if the entire panel will be replaced but I am hearing that Browne will be replaced by a Yardie. At least this proposal will be made to the board today. I would expect that the existing group of selectors already had a squad in mind.

Correction he picked the teams that Dave wanted.

"In fact, under Courtney Browne, team selection processed was changed whereby he made all the final decisions on the composition of the team and said that is how it was. It did not matter the captain or the coach ideas. The impression given was that this was a new directive from on top and the team was named by him and you had no choice,” stated Simmons

If this is correct he must be removed right away and must be confined to the dustbin of history!

This is truly appalling!

I would not be surprised is such a statement in sum and substance was made somewhere along the line. Remember that the relationship between Simmons and CWI got really testy before his firing. So the context might be important also

the brown (Browne) bus (Pybus) gone

 
jen 2019-04-09 15:39:58 

Wait, people still ah say give Browne a chance? The man who kept on picking Bishoo & Nurse for every living ODI game despite averaging 88 & 60 with the ball respectively?

The same man who put Rovmon Powell, who hadn't even established himself in the team, to be captain over Shai Hope?

The same man who had Sunil Ambris, one of the regions better list A players, on the bench for 8 straight ODI games with 3-4 men in the XI constantly failing?

Browne was following Cameron's agenda, and any selector like that needs to go immediately.

The test series gone was a good idea of what can be achieved by picking the best team. Bishoo's spot in the team can be put down to trying to keep Guyana's vote. And guess what, it's said that Bishoo now no longer has a contract as his performance hasn't met any criteria for it. That's the same guy brung was picking none stop. Go figure.

Too much too soon. This ship seems headed for self destruction.

Although I don't have much time for either of them, who in their right mind will change both coach and chief selector at this crucial time?

The new folks abhor politics, or so they claim, yet this decision seems to have nothing to do with cricket.

 
Walco 2019-04-09 16:01:47

Ok jen. First you chastise people who say give Browne a chance, then you give examples of Browne's "poor" selection decisions, and then you give him credit for picking the best team for the recent test series thereby lending support to those saying give Browne a chance smile

Lol I have some serious allegations with this one that i'm not putting online lol. Ravmon is a good kid, just some people putting him in a bad spot.

Anyhow, Ravmon did have a few good series, but his issue is he's poor against spin. He shouldn't have played all those 8 games in asia. As it is now, Powell more than likely will miss out on the world cup because of those 8 straight failures. They've done more harm than good to Powell.

Ok I will try one more time. You seem to believe that Browne was the final arbiter on team selection matters. If it is true that Browne did not want Gayle on the CWI team, how did Gayle end up on the team? There is nothing wrong with you criticizing Browne and calling for his removal, but you seem a bit unhinged here. And you were heretofore one of the more level-headed posters on this board smile

No, no, no. Hands off Mr.Jimmy Adams.

Mr.Jimmy Adams had his hands tied. Please remember he is the one individual who advocated for selecting players on merit.

Mr.Jimmy Adams wanted to keep the politics and insularity out of West Indies cricket but was met with roadblocks left, right and centre.

Cameron era had a guideline regarding the way they treated the players..It started from Cameron and was mirrored by the selectors and coaching staff.. Anyone who deviated were sacked be it the coach or manager or Captain...

If the new leadership wants to change the way they treat the players, then they need to remove everyone who bought into the guideline of Cameron.

But the only question would be "WHEN" would you want to do that. With WC just around the corner do you want to mess with the coaching structure or leave it till the WC is over. I prefer the later but let us see how the whole game goes

Jen loses it each time Ambris is involved.
I was very excited at the prospect of Ambris playing ODI in India and Bangladesh, and given the chance of redemption ala Hope, Nurse, Hety. It made no sense to play him in test and then sit him for his stronger format. If he had played, he might well have been on the way to World cup

In reply to Baje

The funny thing is that I remember a conversation with Browne during which he had nothing but positive things to say about Ambris. I think that injury set him back a bit and the emergence of Hety of course

 
jen 2019-04-09 17:42:21 

In reply to Baje

Jen loses it each time Ambris is involved.


Actually i've lost it the most with BIshoo, believe it or not. It's easier to look past Ravmon Powell playing all the games ahead of Ambris, cause he had a good period between the WC Qualifiers & Bangladesh in the Caribbean in 2018 I think. Powell was weak against spin so it didn't make sense to pencil him in all the game from a cricketing stand point. Had not one issue with him starting ahead of Ambris at all as he had a good recent record going into those games. Bishoo has been baddddddd for a long long time.

No way should a team be taking licks, you have 4 men struggling and a guy ride the bench for all 8 games.

That one too, ah have allegations ah not willing to post on here lol lol

I'll say this, Kieran Powell has to be the luckiest islander cricketer ever!!!!! For the life of me I can never understand how he was persisted with for so long. When you see VOR come out and talk against an Islander, then that alone speaks massive volume to how bad that continued selection was. That and Bishoo maybe the longest stream of mediocrity selection.

My views on Bishoo is for ODIs though, he isn't that bad in Tests. Could do better, but still does have the good games in between.

This practice predated Cameron's autocracy.

It had its genesis in the unhappy H&H regime of which Cameron was also an integral part.

Do you remember how Beckles revealed the plan that was hatched at board level to "root Gayle & Samuels out of West Indies cricket", while promoting malleable puppets like Reifer & Sammy as the ideal West Indies player?

Or the way Sarwan, Taylor, Shiv, et al were victimized?

Or the way Gayle was sacked as the captain and ultimately kept out of the team for some 18 months for essentially non-cricketing reasons?

How soon we forget!!

Condi Riley, a Director of CWI went on the Mason and Guest show and stated over the air that Darren Bravo is a cancer and a disruptive force to the youngsters and should never be selected to play for West Indies again.

This was the kind of open interference coming from people in the hierarchy of West Indies cricket pushing Cameron's agenda. The plantation mentality from people who held the misguided belief that they were more important than the players.

Condi Riley was also against Chris Gayle coming back into the WI team.

Yes Haynes is new COS

 
Walco 2019-04-11 10:54:07 

There you have it folks Link Text

Pybus replaced by Reifer and Browne replaced by Haynes. The entire selection panel has been replaced

Reifer to coach until after the World Cup. I expect Simmons to be WI coach after the WC.

Actually until after the India series this summer.

Well technically the India series is after the World Cup smile

if Simmo is the man, why not buy out his contract now and he will be the coach for the WC.

You want to spend money you don't have?
Skerritt was smart to keep Pybus around until his contract expires.
It is also good to see the people responsible for the cricket, are the ones selecting the team.

Buying out his contract would require the cooperation of Afghanistan. Don't think they would be interested before the WC

Did they say anything about the 4 former selectors? Were they reassigned or dismissed? I did not watch the press conference

In what way? Can you share specifics?

the new people won't be paid?

 
TheTrail 2019-04-11 16:24:14 

Bar­ba­di­an Floyd Reifer will re­place Richard Py­bus as coach of the re­gion­al team. Reifer comes in to re­place Py­bus be­fore the Eng­lish­man's con­tract ends. He was con­tract­ed by the pre­vi­ous ad­min­is­tra­tion un­til the end of the In­di­an se­ries in the Caribbean in Au­gust.


CWI will have to pay him out - money theey do not have.

IOU?

 
Walco 2019-04-11 16:25:24 

In reply to imusic

Well CWI apparently is in the red. In the Caribbean you cannot just terminate people without paying them money. Pybus gone and selection panel gone. Seems like Pybus was reassigned, but I suspect his salary as head coach was more than his HPC salary.

No reference to the previous selectors.
BTW, all appointees are interim.

I am not surprise with the firing of CB, a number of people on this MB, and around the region, wanted him gone.
As for Pybus, I would had allowed him to coach until his contract expired in a few months.

When was the last time we had a selection panel that did not get cussed left right and center? Having said that, Skerritt has the right to install his own people.

The New President is not being smart at all, in an effort to undo all the Dave Cameron did he will cost CWI some serious funds

i have seen so many "leaders" commit these elementary errors....

I am surprised at the haste with which he is making changes. But the money problem will be solved when India visits later this year. India tours have been our tickets to solvency for some time now.

Perhaps...but you don't get rich by careless spending and getting rid of people unnecessarily who still under contract is stupid

Skerritt obviously accumulated a substantial amount of debt during his campaign for the Presidency and he did not want repayment of that debt to become past due wink

India is coming because they want a cut of the gate millions they owe them.
