partisan insularity and shallow thinking. The appointment of the Manager of the current A team tour stinks.
CWI goes from bad to worse year by year. The eat a food posse are shameless.

VOR would say Revo Revo REvo....tek ovah !!!

Miss Chrissy....we are sinking fast
CWI must be disbanded....a private company running WI cricket should end pronto.
Who's going to bell the cat?
Caricom is toothless....

Thought tour manager was something given to an ex player to make a change?
Management now going after these perks!

In reply to Narper
Write Revo backwards and send to Vor tell him that's what's happened to CWI leadership.

The current WICB president is characteristic to his name, "Shallow".

Christine...Dwain Gill is a dedicated servant of West Indies cricket and has managed several teams at the regional and international level - including the winning WI U-19 team in 2016.

He is a Barbadian by birth and has lived in Grenada for several years. He has worked his way through cricket administration in the Windwards and now serves as President of the Windwards Board.

I hold no special brief for him, but I think that citing his appointment as an insular pick and one that "stinks" may be slightly unfair.

My two cents.

I rarely disagree with Chrissy but this time I must. Gill has the appropriate experience. I dont have a problem with his appointment. Was his appointment publicized with the naming of the team? That should satisfy the need for transparency. For that matter, I think Athanaze is the only WWI pick on that team and that could not be an expression of insularity as everyone agrees that he deserved his place.

Bro I respect your views but no President of a national or multi-island board should be a team Manager. I find dat a conflict of interest. Just my two cents.

In reply to PalsofMine

He is experienced but make him resign from both the CWI Board and the Windwards Board to take up that Manager post.

In reply to Chrissy
Andrew Mason panel questioned Shallow about the conflict of Interest, Dwain being a board member of CWI.

In reply to openning
Of course there is a conflict of interest - that is my point. I have no problem with him as Manager - he is competent but this is a clear conflict of interest.

I have rejected more offers than I can count in this region over the years because me and foolishness nuh mix and I do not remain silent. Nuff acquaintances have wondered why I don't side with the interests of the West Indian middle class.
This is a clear conflict of interest.
I don't think Shallow is shallow - I think like di rest of dem he is following di parson and christening fi him own first. Di eat a food posse continues.

In reply to PalsofMine
Man leff Athanaze out a dis - di youth earned his place - I've been arguing for his selection based on merit.

In reply to Narper
CWI is a private company and they operate like most private companies in this region.

In reply to newdread


It's just that they're adding up.

First, we have the lady from SVG, which just happens to be Dr Shallow's home country, appointed to serve as first female member on some board or the other.

Next, we have (our favorite) $ammy being appointed as white ball head coach, a job for which some people say he is not qualified. Again it so happens that $ammy is a fellow Windwards Islander.

Now we've arrived at this Gill guy, who again happens to be a fellow Windwards islander.

Just coincidences or is there a distinct pattern here.

In reply to Chrissy

Dwain is Bajan... accent and all. Grenadian wife though. Also was a decent lil batsman in his day. Not relevant to the topic at hand...jes sayin.

Chrissy is right.

In reply to Chrissy

Fair enough....but you know he aint resigning

In reply to Chrissy

Ahem, Chrissy. That is what I said

In reply to Chrissy

Conflict of interest!!!! Faithful gets the post... Sammy independent Director and now Head Coach...I have been asking from day one...... till date no clarification... whether Sammy has resigned.... Shallow administration is simply continuation of previous administration policy and perk regime albeit nominal change in President...

In reply to Onionman0

Which of the previous administrations or just all a dem

In reply to Chrissy
Leaving aside the ethics issue of whether Gill should resign his admin positions to manage an A team tour, now that Gill's background and experience has been shared with you do you still hold to your initially stated position that this is a partisan insular selection by Shallow. I asked because it seemed to me that you were initially making a case that Gill lacked merit, not that he might have a conflict of interest.

In reply to Chrissy

Your repeated mentioning of Conflict of interest which has been going on for decades has never been acknowledged by anyone in authority in the Caribbean.There are numerous examples in ALL SPHERES OF ACTIVITY in many Caribbean territories and is a measure of our lack of maturity. and an acceptance of a practice which is insidious and despicable.
