In reply to Khaga

Thanks for the opportunity to relive history.

The last part of the video is very interesting. Sir Hillary stated quite emphatically at the time that there has been a value change exhibited by young West Indies cricketers from one of idividualism to a team concept, yet the current administrators (Skerrit et al) have departed from the noble aspirations of those young cricketers and brought back the very same individualistic cricketers who promoted this "I" culture which is anathema to the previously stated goals of their predecessors.

Skerrit et al have made a 180 degree turn on the vision and values as previously espoused by WICB and this is why I will vehemently oppose them now at every turn.

I will never under any circumstance, support the involvement of the very cricketers who sought to body slam West Indies cricket while pursuing their selfish interests and without any iota of consideration for our cricket development.

Finally, I am aware of your motive to sow the seeds of division in West Indies cricket but the video was prophetic and instructive enough to elicit a comment from me.

I say no more and have absolutely no interest in the current bitches brew now being concocted and exhibited by those recalcitrant cricketers in full view of a stunned cricketing public.

Sir Hillary has since become a resident Yardie, and has revised his views as then stated.

Please let the good Professor continue to live in peace in his new abode.

In reply to Drapsey

is he now a don himself?

don of the yard?

The culture wars in WI cricket continue.

In reply to doosra

Dem Yardie pu$$y could adapt, even corrupt, anyone.

Be careful you don't try it.

Pollo attempted, but was luckily rebuffed.

In reply to Khaga

do you have his retraction?

In reply to Courtesy

Money is not a sin as Khaga knows- all great cricketers like money- Sachin, Kapil, Sourav.... they like money even now. Those foolish West Indians who turn up their noses at money die in poverty and shame...get sent back to these wicked islands... or take it out on their wives...

In reply to Courtesy

Well said. I have minimal trust or confidence for Skerrit et al. Still shocked that older Bravo is back in contention to play for WI. He should be kept miles away from WI cricket.

In reply to Drapsey

My good brother from the North gets a lot of yardie pokey. Keep the good work up my brother Hillary.

In reply to Drapsey

I know a goodly Dr who survived and even thrived

i guess others are less mortals

In reply to Drapsey

Do you have evidence of same?

In reply to camos

Good question

In reply to XDFIX

sudden addressed that subject in his Miss Zimbabwe contribution years ago.

Maybe he could make a repost from his archives.

In reply to Courtesy

What selfish interest. You so your tiny islands could get the exposure they never get with the exception of when hurricanes ravage the region every year? Absolute rubbish. CLR James once said that if we in the region cannot pay our players the remitences that their skills demand, then we do not deserve them. I had no problem with gayle and co going to get the money the WICB or most of the private sector in the region could not give them.

In reply to camos

Based on the recent events, the retraction should be retracted

In reply to Walco

I posted the retraction of the retraction..

In reply to Khaga
Now it makes sense to me I don’t remember ever seeing that speech, But I recall listening to an audiotape of a Beckles speech that was given in Antigua or some nearby island.

In reply to Drapsey

Man you have a good memory

In reply to Jumpstart

Somebody should throw a chair at your skont again, Rams

In reply to Drapsey

I am going to set Poween001 on you.

Pollo couldn't match Oval. He spoiled her so that Pollo couldn't compete.

In reply to sudden

That might've been your best post, with the Flamingo a close second.

In reply to Drapsey

Who dem a cum fee see, nuh Chris Gayle was epic too. I have had many hits. Those are just few. Good memory

In reply to sudden

Gayle is such a . . .

Yuh remember the time of the Flamingo story when Gayle appeared at Sabina Park with the Baltimore/Washington area TV personality on his arm? The best thing ever happened to the guy and he couldn't make it stick.
