That should be the WAY. With the Olympics in the future.
But dream on..The several countries and the leaders, LIKE
the ideal of clinging together even against their peoples' best National interests and future

If we cannot find a proper 11 from the whole Caribbean, how will we find any 11 worth anything individually? Add to that finding sponsorship and the years it would take to get even T20I status. Wishful thinking.

Speak for your own country...Jamaica is doing ok in other International
endeavors...Athletics...Soccer...Netball because it embraces things
on a National platform. This does not involve cricket and the Country
is not relying on CARICOM or other Caribbean brothers to finance or
sponsor these sports in the YARD.
So find another negative to amuse yourself.

Track & Field and Soccer yes. I agree. The cricket boat has long sunk and there is no interest among the youth. Scholarships are available for almost every sport except cricket. There are kids attending colleges and universities in the UK and USA for golf, swimming, track, basketball, lawn tennis and soccer.

It is the same old story when our teams do poorly. Well, I am a West Indies fan and will continue to support them whether it is a win or a loss. When we win matches I don't see anyone complaining.

The reality is we will not be allowed into the Olympics as the West Indies. So unless we wish not to partake then I guess, bury your head in the sand.

Yes . He needs to elaborate. And explain why we are now mostly
INDEPENDENT Nations, supposedly ceased being colonists.
Some one is confused.

It has sunk and in bad shape because there is no National will involved.
Are you aware that Jamaica's Women Cricket reached and played Test Cricket
in early 70s when it was playing cricket on its own,devoid of any West Indies
Board or Jamaica Board involvement.
No sooner it became part of West Indies cricket, the game died as there was no
longer any imperative by those who fostered and cared and sponsored the game
through a vibrant Club system to be involved.
The women's game never recovered and the thing called West Indies Board
was never able to develop or maintain any comparable system in Jamaica simply because
the same WI Thing depended and still do on the coffers and cooperation of several individual countries
as it,WI , has not got the resources or people to fund and carry out financial outlays
in a place like Jamaica.
If you turn over the Jamaica Track program or Football program to an entity like WI, that would also
be the death of those discipline if the National Will ,expertise of the individual countries is absent.
West Indies in current climate and times is in Trump's World, a Fake and lacks relevance to
most Jamaicans, young and old.
Why should a Government of Jamaica dole out millions in goodwill,time and effort , to prop up West Indies, when such resources could be
used to develop its own population of cricketers replete with rewards for the Nation's advancement ?
With the Olympics set to play a big part in the Games future, it is incumbent on the National government
to more towards developing the Game from ground up and through schools and youth programs to meet the
Future and provide incentives for the young to aspire to make a living through 20/20 worldwide.
When places like Cayman, Thailand ,Hong Kong ,Malaysia and even less known countries are advancing the game
and West Indies having to play laying against them on the International stage, it is really Extremely PITIFUL.
But those who like and embrace this reality are free to remain in the dark which is nothing more than a Colonist
mindset and structure.
Slavery was a huge success.
Others with vision and even Pride ,should not be involved and ought to move on.

I could elaborate much further, but I am not convinced it would even be understood
But I will say this to test that theory
My great great grandfather was born a slave
He live as a slave and died as a slave
I was born a free man
I lived as a free man and will die as a free man
If I don't do right today
My great great grandson will be born as a slave
He will live as a slave and die as a slave

So being Number 3 or 4 in Netball in the world ,does not count ?.
Do you know how much bigger and richer the one above us, are ?
Do you think the young girls in both football and netball are not
inspired to gain Glory for the Black-Gold and Green in a way that any representation
of West Indies in cricket does not currently enjoy. ?
We are a Nation and ought not to be a colony of any Group but our British Enslavers must still be very pleased
to see their influence still holds sway in the 21st Century when Nations still cling to ways.
Imagine talking about A Caribbean Court, rather than ditching the British Privy and having their own Highest Court.
Some Republics are still hogtied to the British. What Progress.
No country can even begin to be independent if matters of their Own constitution are being dictated from the outside
even when their form of Governance and government are different.
People development is the Lack when such things are in play. Children must become adults and we are
far from it. We are nothing more than Cling Cling Birds of a featherless mindset.
Be happy anyhow. We will never live to see a Developed Country in the Region as a First World Entity however that
is defined.

great and strong and lead the way. Difficult to do or don't you have a Country ?

hoss cricket almost dead in JA. Which person, possibly from a poor background, is going to wait a gazillion years for ja cricket to attract the attention that WI cricket used to get, and as a result the promotion to ipl and other csh rich leagues.

In north America, a Jamaican will drive across town to patronize a Chinese establishment, but will never set foot in a non Jamaican. Caribbean establishment. Only when they are in trouble, they remember their heritage.
