I made my views known BEFORE the election. All this politicking masquerading as transparency is no surprise. Well, at least no surprise to me.

Knowledge of the region; knowledge of the individuals; other specifics I would not go into in an open forum such as CC.com.

Skerritt has many friends around the region (and even here on CC) so he will get by on his bs. That’s the thing about Skerritt.

Flashback—CARIBBEANCRICKET.COM: Hall to Replace Skerritt

JOJO2019-03-25 23:27:39
Admin, since you cannot be bothered...
The outspoken Skerritt has rubbed colleagues the wrong way with what sources describe as "haughty and abrasive" attitude and even the players in the dressing room reportedly chafe at the way he makes decisions and communicates them.

As Spuds used to say—-TNPITBP ( keep it clean—P is for President).

That was not the point of the post and frankly I don’t remember.

What the article highlights and what I do remember is that there were a number of communication and management issues relating to Skerritt’s time with the WICB. The expectations surrounding him and the notion that he will somehow be a savior of Windies cricket...well...to me, is just funny.

One more thing: As I have said before, Caribbean PMs, and Gonsalves and Mitchell in particular, should be kept far away from Windies cricket. Any development that may result in them having influence or some say cannot be good.

No fan of Cameron, but the notion that Skerritt may somehow be savior of West Indies cricket is simply laughable.

He is likely to have a more amicable relationship with the most vocal regional PMs. And what? So that they may have some influence over the decision-making at Windies cricket? Is that really a desirable option?

It seems that JoJo thinks Gonzalves and Mitchell are calling the shots behind the scenes. That would explain the selection of Keswick Williams to the T20 squad smile

So I get the impression that as soon
as persons become Members of the WICBC
They get infested with :

PMS, aka PLANTATION MENTALITY SYNDROME
a disease that makes them superior in
every respect to our Players .

Worse yet is that they believe that
they are infallible , and this myth is
celebrated and confirmed by their many
Stooges in the Region who masquerade
as Sports Journalists but in actuality are the SERFS of the WICBC.

It is this alliance between the WICBC
and the Sports Media that has ruined
West Indies Cricket by peddling the idea that the WICBC is perpetually Right , and the Players forever wrong.

It matters not to the Frauds in the Region who profess to be Sports Journalists this stark freaking Fact:

THE WICBC IS OVER 100 YEARS AND HAS

BLUNTLY REFUSED TO CHANGE IS

STRUCTURE ; NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT

IT HAS COMMISSIONED SEVERAL REPORTS

AND IGNORED THE FINDINGS OF THOSE

REPORTS .

Their Friends in the Media are silent
about the many flaws of those in the
the Worst International Cricket Board
in the Commonwealth , aka the WICBC .

THEY UTTERED NARY A WORD WHEN THE

WICBC PULLED THE PLUG ON THE TOUR TO

INDIA THAT WAS IN PROGRESS ; LEAVING

THE BCCI WITH A MOUNTAIN OF DEBTS ,

DUE TO THE FACT THAT TICKETS WERE

SOLD ; TO SEE THE MATCHES ; HOTELS

WERE BOOKED ; PEOPLE BOUGHT GOODS TO

SELL AT THE VARIOUS STADIA IN INDIA .


The Regional Jokers in the Region as
usual criticized Our Players , they
uttered nary a word about the fact that rather than at least attempt to
solve the problem , stopped the Tour.

True to form the WICBC LACKEYS in the
Media stated nary a word about the fact that the WICBC made no attempt to solve the problem .
