DID THE WICB TREAT CABLE & WIRELESS FAIRLY IN THE NEGOTIATIONS?
The Committee had to determine whether the negotiations were conducted in good faith, incorporating the principles of fairness, transparency and full disclosure in accordance with accepted business practice. The WICB/C&W contract which was concluded in 2001 provides that negotiations should commence fifteen months prior to the expiry of the contract.
The evidence discloses that negotiations did not commence fifteen months before the expiry of the contract as stipulated. An explanation that was accepted by both parties is that there was a Home Series being played at the time and that as a result neither party was able to assemble their full negotiating and advisory personnel to attend the meetings. Consequently, the meetings commenced in August 2003 in the Cayman Islands.
What resulted from various meetings, based on correspondence, was that both parties arrived at a commercial agreement in September 2003. This is evidenced by a letter from Teddy Griffith, the then Chairman of the Marketing Committee of the WICB to Mr. Chris Carpenter of C&W dated September 17, 2003.
As a result of the commercial terms agreed, C&W drafted a redlined contract of sponsorship and submitted it to the WICB on October 20, 2003. The redlined contract was a copy of the existing contract ?redlined? to reflect the new terms agreed in the letter of September 17, 2003.
The Committee was not provided with any correspondence or minutes of meetings to indicate whether the Board of Directors approved or disapproved of the said commercial agreement. There then ensued a period of silence by the lack of documented communication for the month of November 2003, save e-mails discussing administrative matters.
Lucky Report
WICB Board members who feel that Brancker should be allowed to continue as head of the CWC 2007 also confirmed that the immediate earlier president, Griffith, was approved for appointment to the CWC Board as a result of a vacancy that arose. They denied that Griffith was to be a "consultant" to West Indies Cricket Board Inc, the private entity that deals with the business aspect of the WICB, and which had entered into the controversial secretive sponsorship contract with Digicel in 2004.
btw the last cable and wireless series in the west indies was the england 2004 visit. the fallout from this coagulation of incompetence or worse was that the star WI players who still had CW sponsorship deals boycotted both the tri series(which was mercifully cancelled) in december 2004 in australia and the first test of the SA series the next year. and this drama started almost immideately after one of our greatest triumphs, the 2004 champions trophy win
