Well said. Time is definitely is right. Let Shallow and his Windward crew take their respective islands forward in cricket.

Well, it is not only the WI that is going through hard times in cricket, other countries that had glory days are also struggling, both Pakistan and Sri Lanka are not doing much better than the WI.

trust me bajans dont think so. look a excerpt from Tino's book
mind the windows
I don't think the islands will ever go their separate ways but honestly, I'd love it to happen. Barbados versus Australia, imagine it now


Barbados versus Australia

If Barbados goes solo, who would play for England?

Going it alone is cricketing suicide Barbados would never get to play Australia if we go it alone, how often does the west indies even get to play them, and if Barbados does get to play Australia the end won't be pretty

All they need is a name change and things will look up again.

Remember when the same things were being said about the WICB? Well they just change it to CWI to convince the public that the WICB has outlived it's usefulness and a fresh beginning is required to start a turn around.

Looks like they still doing the round about ....smile

I can never understand how independent regional governments can collectively hand over WI cricket to a registered private entity and then have NO SAY how it runs de cricket.....many many heads of government tried to do something but all failed miserably....CWI is large and in-charge of something that is sill refered to as WI cricket but no longer resemble WI cricket
