And being free of colonial West Indies should not be the way forward.

If that is your experience you certainly live in a strange place where Jamaicans are.
And since you are generalising tell me where you live in America.
On he contrary, I live in Philly and most Eastern Caribbean people find my door more than
fellow Jamaicans.
And Jamaicans have more eateries in this City than almost all ethnicities.
Wanna prove it, I will send you a ticket and take you around town.
Furthermore Jamaicans are notorious for helping others who are non Jamaicans.
And they don't much like us. But they have to respect US.
And another thing, when Jamaicans get in trouble they know who to go to or seek out and a Jamaican if first on the list. So tell me more since
you are one of those attempting to denigrate the people who have a far more international presence in culture,music,food
and sports than all of you put together.
And who numerically are much larger in population in American Cities and who have a presence than others. There are over 200k Jamaicans now in Philly
and nearby border Counties.
We lead the pack whether Positively or negatively too. But the positives through doing favors and providing leadership and example of achievements
make Jamaicans here de facto leaders..even politically through associations.


So tell me if you wanna come. You need to be educated.

Almost dead is right and the reasons are many. Foremost is the lack of resolve
and commitment from the cricket Board leadership to WORK with the young boys and girls
and engage the Private Sector and the govt in having meaningful programs/activities for the
kids both boys and girls to make cricket a passion.

In the competitive atmosphere where Football especially have been doing a lot through age group
enticement youngsters can dream of a pro contract. Track and Field has been doing this for
decades but football especially has been cricket's worse enemy by participation and an eye for the
money.
The double whammy is that Track offers furtherance of education home and abroad to many and
is primary over monetary rewards at this stage.
Yes, the leadership of the cricket community must compete for talent and this they are doing very
well with limited resources too and Costs being factors.
But if there is a National Imperative to have cricket rebound, then things could change quickly
as Youth of today are looking for the financial rewards. And that can come as the game as you
is now blessed with opportunities through 20/20 and that alone should be an incentive for youngsters
to devote time,energy etc in making a go at it.
I am not too optimistic though as things have fallen too far and I don't think ,government and
administrators are keen to take up what is a monumental Task.
Cricket remains expensive with gears a premium and with limited financial resources to outlay and
maintain,it is a very challenging endeavour as Jamaica is a big Island with transport costs a
major element too if one is going to undertake a meaningful and long lasting program for both
boys and girls.
The days of the Allan Rae and Fennel and other devoted and dedicated servants are no more and there are always
educational and medical needs to test any Purse strings of developing countries.

Meanwhile the two men and a dog awaits a Test match in the summer after great expenditure will be laid out for
among other things a New Scoreboard.Maybe India will Gift it

The way forward is as a strong unified nation not a collection weak banana republics who are destined to be recolonize in the future, we all have fragile economies heavily dependant on our colonizer and its spawn, military wise we are all a joke, others have missiles and we have water pistols, Guyana is incapable of defending it's borders against any venezuelan incursion and without the support of the colonizer and its spawn will surely be invaded and its inhabitants killed, the collection of banana republics cannot help them
But some of us keep finding ways to "deunify" on the premise of good at something
At one point in time Barbados could have selected a cricket team and it would have been a solid test team capable of beating all other test playing nations but we never saw this as a reason to go it alone
Take heed of this example Jamaica may be fourth in netball, guess what, Trinidad and Barbados also have world class netball teams ranked in the top 10 but a west indies team would be number 1 hands down

In reply to powen001

100% agree with this statement.

Enough with this misguided finger pointing and name calling.

RALLY!

In reply to hawk

How that working out for you. Chatting crap.

In reply to Onionman0

Only those stuck in colonialism will want this to continue.

In reply to 4REALQUICKS

Rally round what?

But, wait a minute!
Correct me if I’m wrong!
I thought I saw a video on FB, where the captain was giving clear instructions from beyond the boundary to the batter on strike to “ hit a 4 then a 6” and WI will qualify! The batter proceeded to hit a 6 first and consequently WI failed to qualify!
Anybody knows the name of the batter and what country she is from????

In reply to natty_forever

just leave, nuh

tell CWI wunnu gine leave

and guh long bout wunnu bizness

why all de long talk?

In reply to natty_forever

Yeah….just as I suspected

In reply to natty_forever



before making that silly statement, did you consider that your head of state is still the King of England and your court of last resort is the Supreme Court in the UK?

how ironic

In reply to hubert


None of that makes sense....

In reply to conman

Is that your final answer ?

Do you have a country if you were born somewhere ?

In reply to sudden

And we are in the process of putting an end to that. So ...

In reply to hubert



Before I answer
Why are you asking this question?

Jamaican terminated as head coach and now T20I Captain. Barely any representation in any of the formats. No wonder a Jamaican is pushing for all teams to go it alone. What is even more amusing is he said that the Leeward and Windward Territories should continue to play as themselves.

Just the other day the same Imposter was championing Blackwood as an allrounder for WI.

In reply to bobby

Why Jamaica and Trinidad, Guyana can either field successful football, track n field teams and numerous boxers? Why Bim once had a cricket team that could beat any worldXI? Did the Federation team to the Olympics do better than many of the successful TNT or Yard teams?

Will history repeat itself? Was Jamaica not the one who withdrew from the WI Federation that lead Eric Williams to make this famous quote;" one from ten leaves nought">

In reply to hawk


You will advocate that as long as the power structure remains exactly as it is.

In reply to voiceofreason

We are being pushed, this time.
