I’m hearing through the media grapevine that a certain legendary fast bowlers sky contract may be coming to an end.
Should he directly get involved with our cricket???

Some guys may not support everything they see but they must live.
You ever wonder how many of these former cricketers really do like T20? Yet it afford them the opportunity to gain a good income

Didn he do a stint with some Vincy pacers a year or two ago?

In reply to Maispwi
HE did , apparently he was in SVG , and
he was asked to give a Clinic , and HE
did avail himself to give a Clinic .
I mentioned this fact sometime ago in
this Forum . As far as I am aware , most former Players when asked to give
Clinics generally do that .
This is despite the fact that the Worst
International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth , aka the WICBC , has an
aversion to employ Our Former Players.
It is that Attitude & Behaviour why
I believe that the People in the WICBC , are suffering from PMS ,
PLANTATION MENTALITY SYNDROME .
This in my opinion has its origins
when the WICBC was formed over 100 years ago . This thinking is still
in vogue in the WICBC to this very
day .
My perspective , is that this Attitude & Behaviour are still exists
in the WICBC to this very day . What
is very sad is that this attitude ,
over the years , has fostered in the
WICBC a tangible air of Superiority .
The end result of this Attitude
whether conciously or unconciously
created an Ocean between the People
in the WICBC & OUR Players .
My perspective is that this PMS Syndrome that the WICBC relishes is
at the heart of the Disunity & Disharmony that exists between the
WICBC & Our Players .
The end result is that those in the
WICBC ; have bluntly refused to understand that Harmony is better for
the WICBC & OUR Players . It would
solve most of the rank animosity that
exists between the WICBC , and Our
Players .
I am reminded of the well known Adage
" A HOUSE DIVIDED WILL NEVER STAND "
The people in the WICBC need to heed
this adage , and stop their Plantation Mentality Syndrome . If they did , they would quickly realize
that They and Our Players would quickly be able to foster Harmony in
West Indies Cricket .
This obviously would benefit West Indies Cricket immensely . The Question however is this :
DOES THE WICBC HAVE THE TESTICULAR
FORTITUDE TO DO THE RIGHT THING ?????
I DO NOT THINK SO ; HOWEVER TIME WILL
TELL !!!!!

I think Holding went into "semi-retirement" a couple of years ago and does commentary during the English & South African Summer Tours.
Between his holiday homes, horse racing, presidency of Derbyshire etc etc I don't think he'd be bothered with the bullshit that comes with working with the Regional Administration.

The England team, as well as domestic Twenty20 champions Middlesex, will be involved in the week-long Stanford Super Series from October 25 to November 1. Stanford has on board a host of West Indian greats, including Garry Sobers and Viv Richards, but Holding said he won't be present for the series. "I am not going to be involved in a farce," he said. "He is telling people in the Caribbean that he wants to revive West Indian cricket but how is a week of Twenty20 cricket in Antigua going to do that?"
In May, Holding had joined the board of the Stanford 20/20, the domestic Twenty20 tournament in the region, calling Stanford's programme "amazing and comprehensive" and one that "encompasses funding for territorial development".
In this latest interview, he clarified his change of heart. "If what he started to do initially had been carried on, it would have benefited West Indies cricket because he was involved in the development of the game in various islands and donated money to them to improve their infrastructure," he said. "That is when I was involved but now [that] Stanford has got into bed with the ECB he doesn't need to do that anymore so he has abandoned it. He wants to promote himself and his companies, that's all. If people can't see that then I can't help them, it's their problem."

IT IS INDEED VERY INTERESTING THAT THE
" FARCE " WAS ABLE TO HARNESS & HONE
THE SKILLS OF OUR PLAYERS TO WIN 2
CONSECUTIVE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN
THE SHORTEST VERSION OF THE GAME .
Now that aint a figment of my Imagination . Nor was it a Mirage .
I would like to believe that You are not in the Camp of those who belittle
the Stewardship of those who were in
charge of the Shortest format of the
game .
Those who belittle their Stewardship
of this format of the game in my opinion are nothing more than Sycophants of the Worst International
Cricket Board in the Commonwealth ,aka the WICBC .

In essence You are telling me that You personally have to wait
until , Michael Holding states that they did a Good Job in their Stewardship of this version of the game ; to agree that indeed those
Former Players did a Good Job .

So the General Public in your opinion
were unaware of the fact that Our Former Players were in charge of the
Shortest version of the Game ?????
IT IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE THAT THE WICBC
MADE AN ARRANGEMENT THAT STANFORD WOULD
BE IN CHARGE OF THE SHORTEST VERSION
OF THE GAME .
Stanford , is an American , obviously
his knowledge of Cricket would be very shallow . He therefore hired Our
Former Players to be in charge of this version of the game .
IT WAS THOSE FORMER PLAYERS WHO RAN
THE TOURNAMENT ; AND DEVELOPED THE
TALENTS OF OUR PLAYERS .
History informs us all that the
Stewardship of those Former Players
was responsible for harnessing & honing the talents of Our Players .
HISTORY ALSO INFORMS US ALL THAT
THEIR PLAYERS WON 2 CONSECUTIVE WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE SHORTEST FORMAT
OF THE GAME .
I get the impression that You & Others would like to denigrate the
Stewardship of those Former Players .
In essence , my opinion , is that You
& others who share your opinion , relish displaying your Plantation
Mentality Syndrome .
I cannot & will not subscribe to that
B.S . In recent times , it was & is
the Only Glory that Our Players have
achieved in International Cricket .
MEANWHILE CURRENTLY , OUR PLAYERS
WITH THE WICBC IN CHARGE ARE
FLOUNDERING AT OR NEAR THE BOTTOM OF
INTERNATIONAL CRICKET .
Sadly that does not concern You & others who think like You . The stark
freaking fact is that those Former
Players tangibly demonstrated that
the WICBC is indeed the Worst International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth .
That freaking fact amply demonstrates that the WICBC and those brainwashed
by the WICBC love the WICBC just as it is :
100 PLUS YEARS AND ABSOLUTELY NO
CHANGE IN ITS ARCHAIC STRUCTURE .
COMMISSIONED REPORTS & THEN SHELVED
THOSE REPORTS .
THE WICBC HAS UTTERLY FAILED TO
RECOGNIZE THAT UNITY WITH THE PLAYERS
IS BETTER THAN DISUNITY WITH THE
PLAYERS .
THE WICBC WANTS MONEY FROM THE
GOVERNMENTS IN THE REGION , AND STILL
MAINTAIN THEIR AUTOCRATIC BEHAVIOUR .
BTW , most of the People in the Region who claim to be Sports Journalists are actually Shills of the WICBC . They are utterly devoid of any semblance of Integrity . They relish being Sycophants of the WICBC.

The public at large is aware of Stanford and our former players, We have not come to the same conclusion as you.
Are you telling the world that our former greats, taught these players to play only T20 cricket?
Why could they not improve their game in the other formats, when the Greats were involve with Stanford?
What you are saying,"Our former stars taught players to play T20 cricket, not cricket in general".

It seems that You are a Glutton for
punishment . The thrust of what I have
stated aint sophisticated it is very
simple .
The fact is that in that version of the
game ; Our Players skills were harnessed & honed by Our Former Players
by correcting their flaws & having them indulge in warm up matches .
That has not been the approach that
the WICBC takes . Imagine , Our Players once went on a Tour to New Zealand , and actually played a warm up match , with Players from New Zealand taking the field for Our Team. Due to the fact that some of the Players selected to Tour were not
in New Zealand due to various reasons.
AS USUAL THE WORST INTERNATIONAL
CRICKET BOARD IN THE COMMONWEALTH
DEMONSTRATED ITS TOTAL INCOMPETENCE .
Now that aint a figment of my Imagination . That was & is a freaking Fact . Yet you and others
worship the Incompetence of the
Worst International Cricket Board in
the Commonwealth , aka the WICBC .
It is very likely that YOU will claim
that what I have stated is untrue ,
However , the above is a Freaking Fact , not Fiction . Yet You and others Worship the most Incompetent
Cricket Board in the Commonwealth .
2019-09-14 20:18:26
Our Former Players who were in charge of the Shortest version of the game realized that by playing matches , and
correcting Players flaws , would over
time improve the Skills of their Players .
The end result which YOU and others who
think like You fail to grasp is the
fact that playing Cricket is better
than talking about playing Cricket .
As I have stated many times in this
Forum , the first thing that I do when Our Players are going to play
in International Cricket Matches is
to compare the Stats of Our Players
Opponents , with the Stats of Our Players in matches .
THE DIFFERENCE IS GENERALLY NOT ONLY
VERY STARK , IT ALSO INFORMS ME THAT
OUR PLAYERS HAVE ALREADY LOST THE ,
MATCH BEFORE ONE BALL HAS BEEN
BOWLED.
Our Players are not playing enough
Cricket in all formats of the game
to be fully competitive in International Cricket .
This matter has not been addressed by
the WICBC , until it is fully addressed Our Players aint going to
be fully competitive in the International Cricket Arena .

How were they able to win 2 consecutive
World Championships in this version of
the game .
Interestingly , since the Worst International Cricket Board regained
control of this Format of the Game :
HOW MANY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS HAVE OUR
PLAYERS WON IN ANY FORMAT OF THE
GAME ????????????????????????????
My take based on the Freaking Facts is that Those Former Players in their
brief Stewardship of this version of
the game did a much better Job than
the WICBC .
This is a Freaking Undeniable Fact
that You and Others who think like
You bluntly refused to accept , in
essence You & Others have been brainwashed by the Worst International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth .
You et al seem to think that the
WICBC is always correct in its asinine decisions . I do not have to
sunscribe to that B.S. that You apparently relish .
Then people run around wondering what
has happened to West Indies Cricket??
Despite the fact that the answer is
right in front of them .
THERE WILL NEVER BE A REVIVAL IN
WEST INDIES CRICKET UNLESS & UNTIL
THERE IS A REALIZATION THAT THE
STRUCTURE OF THE WICBC & THE REGIONAL
BOARDS ARE COMPLETELY & TOTALLY
RESTRUCTURED .
I hope that I would be alive when that happens , so I can in this Forum get the upper hand on all my Critics .

Cricket West Indies has hired every past cricketer dead or alive during the last 30 years.
The only past WI cricketer that was not hired is the POINT.he too arrogant and pedantic.
The new president said he was going to hired him, but he post the same Shiite continually.

It gives me Great Pleasure to Inform
YOU that your belief regarding Me is
Mutual . Now Run along , You TWIT !!!!
Lost on You and other Sycophants of the
WICBC is the stark freaking Truth that
is a Fact not Fiction :
THE WICBC HAS BEEN IN THE GOVERNANCE
OF CRICKET IN THE REGION FOR OVER 100
YEARS . IN ALL THAT TIME THE WICBC
HAS BLUNTLY REFUSED TO CHANGE ITS
ARCHAIC STRUCTURE ; AND THAT IS A
FREAKING FACT NOT FICTION .
However this freaking fact is totally
ignored by You and the Other Sycophants of the WICBC in this Forum.
You & other WICBC Stooges can seek solace in the fact that most of the
people in the Region who masquerade as Sports Journalists , are Kindred
Spirits .
The truth is that it aint so much about Our Players performing badly , it is about the fact that the WICBC
has been a total Disaster regarding its Stewardship of West Indies Cricket.
The fact is that Our Former Players
who were in charge of the shortest
version of the , from its inception
were responsible for harnessing & honing the talents of Our Players .
Cricket History informs us that the
Players in this version of the game :
WON 2 CONSECUTIVE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN THIS FORMAT OF THE GAME . NOW THIS
AINT SOME NANCY STORY !!!!!
In recent times what has Our Players
won in the longer versions of the game ???????
Currently , what is our Players Standing in International Cricket in
the Longer versions of the Game ?????
ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE THE ANSWER
AINT BLOWING IN THE FREAKING WIND !!!
So You cannot come here and state that You do not know .
