Thankfully for the West Indies cricket team and the overseers of the game in the region, the team’s latest humiliation of Caribbean people happened in the midst of the football World Cup. Few noticed. Or perhaps people do not care anymore. Leave them to their own devices.
But Ricky Skerritt, the president of Cricket West Indies (CWI) could not leave well alone. He fell back to the saccharine inanity that the team and administrators offer after every even more feckless performance. The point at every speckle and declare it to be the first fleck of a transformative light.
It is now hard to discern if they are genuine Pollyannas and wide-eyed participants in the massive con. Either way, West Indies cricket needs a massive dose of reality, and an even greater amount of overhaul and reform.
In the event that it was missed, on December 11, Australia completed a 419-run win before the dinner break on the final evening of their second Test (a day-night match), to complete a sweep of the series.

Who can do an ECB and send everyone packing?
One would hardly expect them to leave the gravy train on their own.

CWI is currently satisfying the economic interest of a group; cricket is of lesser importance.

Thats exactly my point!
Theres a saying in Guyana...
It doesnt make sense electing a new political party. The current ones pockets are almost full, however the new one would have to start filling from empty, requiring more thieving.
Anyway...throw a few names out nah.

And then what? Replace it/them with who/what? It's going to be the same results. Replace the coach, same $h!t. The captain, same $h!t. You people don't seem to understand that we aren't going to be World beaters like we were back in the day. All we can do is support the team or in most of the people in these chats case, talk $h!t about them nonstop. Australia just finished off SA in two days, and I don't want to hear $hit about the pitch! At least our guys manage to make it to the fifth and fourth days in both games.

No d**my, I don't let my emotions dictate what I write in these chats. I also have the ability to think about things critically. You still haven't answered my questions, by the way.

Stop the name calling, thats getting emotional.
Imagine youre an employer looking at resumes for a job opening and at the same time a banker appraising business loans.
Qualification-Execution
Without going into more details, thats where youll find the it/them who/what

What is your proposal, just take the shit and wait for divine intervention,no advocacy for any type of change?

Theyve changed leadership at CWI. Theyve changed Captain after Captain. Theyve changed coach after coach. Theyve changed the Domestic setup, this is all going back years, and guess what, nothing has changed, except, other teams have better infrastructure, more money, and more talent. Add that all together, and we don't have a chance. But if you have any thoughts we are all ears.

In reply to darkprince39 you make changes until you get it right, since Alex Ferguson retirement Man U has made a lot of managerial changes, they refused to sit like you suggested, and accept that they are not that good.

Stanford T20 was a GAME CHANGER because...
Care to list some reasons?
Just apply the cricketing aspects.
