HEADLINE: West Indies caught in limbo

 
CaribbeanCricket.com Aug 15, 2019, 5:49:03 PM 

Caribbean fans are yet to wake up from the nightmare that was the 2019 Cricket World Cup. And with the alarm being muffled by the growing number of questions that seem to accompany each WINDIES game, we will remain in this subconscious state for a while longer. Only two games were completed in the MyTeam 11 three-match One-Day International series between the West Indies and India, both resulting in convincing 59-run and 6-wicket victories for the visiting team. Jason Holder is still on the hunt for his first ever series win as limited overs captain. And as West Indian fans, we might be tired and no doubt embarrassed, but what we should be is-scared. Scared, as many of the underlying issues surrounding West Indies Cricket seem to be cultural.

"It is more difficult to change the culture of an existing organization than to create a culture in a brand-new organization or team. When an organizational culture is already established, people must unlearn the old values, assumptions, and behaviours before they can learn the new ones."

–Susan Heathfield.

this article is rubbish does not deal with the true problems of wi cricket and using chris gayle as a scapegoat to suggest he is the one stopping this team from progressing and moving forward is utter foolishness if you want to talk about gayle talk about roach too who is in his mid thirties will he be in the next worldcup?
and his bowling in the last year has been terrible he ain't taking wickets or drying up the runs and he issuppose to be our leading bowler

That guy Krissania Young has been writing cricket rubbish here for some time, nothing new. He falls into the same category Davis.

This is precisely why I firmly believe
that WE should get an hiatus of 2 years
frpm playing International Cricket to
have a Total Restructuring of Cricket
in the Region .

WE Must first reject the current 100
plus Structure of the WICBC , which is unquestionably The Worst International
Cricket Board in the Commonwealth .

In my opinion Former Players & Current Players MUST have representation in the Entity Replacing the WICBC .

I expect that the Governments in the
Region will give Financial Support in
this new Entity . THEY must also have
Representation in this New Entity .

All Coaches MUST BE from the Region ,
I my opinion THEY would have a better
understanding and rapport with Our
Players .

Anyone who doubts that need to look at the performances of Our Players
who won 2 consecutive World Championships in the Shortest version
of the game .

As soon as the WICBC regained control
of this format of the Game , they fired those who Coached Our Players
to be best in the World in this version of the Game .

Pollard seriously. A man who said West Indies cricket was the last thing on his list. Abandoned a tour almost sending West Indies cricket into bankruptcy

The Author of this Article choice of
using the word Limbo is absolutely correct , the WICBC is currently making
Our Players metaphorically going Lower
& Lower like a Limbo Dancer , in the
International Cricket Arena .

There will never be progress in West
Indies Cricket , until or unless There
are completely new Structures in the
WICBC & The Regional Cricket Boards
Our Teams will be forever wallowing at or near the Bottom of International Cricket .

I wish POINT would emulate.

He bit his tongue.

Maybe a good sign of an “on second thoughts” man.
