CRICINFO BLANKS WEST INDIES?

They did a nice piece on asking a journalist/correspondent from every participating country about their WC predictions.

But guess what? No West Indian journalist/correspondent was asked but at least 3 Indians were included

Check it out here under the headline" Who Will Win The World Cup?

The two West Indian journalists in Cozier and Becca died. No one left to represent.

Well Cozier for sure was an international figure and a cricket icon as well as a CRICINFO correspondent. I won't say anything on the other person, as I believe you must be silent if you cannot say anything good about a deceased person.

Fazeer, Vanesia and a couple others from the region are correspondents.

Not sure why they were not asked, but it is curious.

Ah dead man feels nothing and can tell no tales. If people had as much respect for the live as the dead, the world would be a better place.

Cozier, albeit a 'Born Barbajan', lived in Trinidad so you have respect for him along with the other Trinis you mentioned, Fazeer and Vanesia.

Good to see you, Narper.

So the real story goes back much farther, to when Cricinfo was setting up Portals for the major cricket playing nations...

Actually it was my father-in-law...he was 89...former local cricket umpire and great cricket fan...although he had lost interest in WI cricket the last few years

I think that decision was made by the WI marketing Jeffe. Wonder who that was?

It was a nice morning session...I don't recall the name of Fazeer's guest who was the expert on the topic....he gave so many examples of words and phrases I have heard growing up in Guyana and Trinidad
