What year did the breach occur?

I could not understand how such a good batsman could just fall off so.

Laundrygate?

Add to that, didn’t appear that Bim management took kindly to his “hairstyle” and Rasta colours wristband.

Yes I remember the issues...many of us on this board condemned the BCA at the time

Only 29 ...with his best years ahead and they destroyed this player.

Regional boards have destroyed so many players

Some might say the 2012 tour of England is what destroyed his career

Very stupid at the time....look at Viv way back, Ambrose back then, Chris Gayle and Kyle Mayers now.

The colonial affected Bajan, could not take a locks hairstyle and Rastafari colours.

Also David Murray before him and a guy from the Comnined Islands, was it Victor Eddy?

Very few West Indians understand the purpose of having POWER.It is my strong view that the acquisition of power means that people have put their faith in you to make whatever organization or entity BETTER.Many of our people believe that power is to be used to demonstrate that they are in charge..Mercifully only a few people ever experience the responsibility of power and indeed many who say exactly what I am saying if given power would abuse it.

i always found it strange he just vanished from the scene after leading barbados to a title and he had a decent first class career ten first class hundreds ain't nothing to sneeze at.

He had a disastrous tour of England after doing pretty well at home and on the subcontinent and didn't appear to be the same again.

Not as a player. The 1st WI FC player to wear locks is Victor Eddy...far as I recall

Breds, I agree with U.
I have learned that having power is not to lord over ppl, but to serve them. I wish I knew that when I was younger.

The Afro Saxon mentality was at work.

I also recall, it was either late 90's or ealry 2000's, the esteem, now deceased Tony Cozier writing about how horrible it was that a Bajan fast bowler performed poorly because he "was unshaven" therefore he didn't care.

Does the above make sense to you.

How many yardies or tits wear have worn locks hairstyle or Rasta colors while playing cricket.

 
nissan 2022-08-30 16:17:49 

Hartley Reid has responded to the settlement.

I can't find a link to the full story. I have a pdf on my phone, not sure how to share on here.

Best I can do

however, you did not reference colonialism as the root cause for not wearing locks as the Kid did.

the Yardie rebel rasta yutes lips remain locked on the Queen's royal backside the colonial Bajans have told the Queen to take a hike.

Both Conde and Hartley was part of the last segment, on Mason and guest.
These two seem to be at war.

wasn't Hartley the manager when this event occurred.

 
openning 2022-08-31 01:07:04 

In reply to tc1
It seems he was.
Conde deflected the question asked about the settlement, and spoke about what is in place now, Andrew had to ask in to watch his tongue.
Hartley spoke about what he was charged in doing as the manager, that was all members of the Barbados team, had to signed for their kit.
Kirk refused to signed, having no kit when he arrived fro the regional tournament, was sent home.
Conde ws Vice President of the BCA and part of the policy at that time.
I blame the manager at that time, not knowing he was carrying out the policy of the BCA.

sgtdjones 2022-09-09 21:09:32 

Conde is an idiot....

Note what he said to the newspaper:

So it wasn't a Board decision , it was a lawyers decision...
We have two lawyers on the Board.
When we got the claim we passed it on to committees and our lawyers
So it wasn't a Board decision , a lawyers advice as professionals...


So who authorized the Payment Conde?
The Board had no say.
