I take it you are joking, The CEO need not be there either. There's a team manager. How often Boeing and Ford's exec mgt step on a factory floor?

Bro he is the Principal, and Sammy is the class teacher. Data guy is the school receptionist. Them man have to attend the school. Florida is not a school trip, it’s a sports day. He must attend.

This is about broadening the reach of cricket and using the diaspora to generate WI funds. This is a very important business trip.

Good analogy (the data man might not like the receptionist talk lol )

I see Jay Shah at every match - well I should say, because of his height, I see the top of his head

Isn't Jay Shah the chairman of ICC?

A CEO and President of a board should not be at every single match the team plays... its wasting money. Monies that could be used to develop cricket in the region!

Nothing wrong with them going on one or two tours.. but all?

Do you see Australia sending their board president and CEO on each tour? Pakistan? NZ?

Yes some people find it normal for these guys to be touring with the team for each tour. They are clearly wasting money.

They scrapped the three day U19 regional tournament because they claim that they do not have funds... can't increase the length of the FC tournament because of the same thing... but they could afford for the President and CEO to fly business class to every match and enjoy the good life.

You guys cracking me up
But. those guys must know most humans don't like benevolent mgt which is what those guys presence suggests. Man walking out or running in on egg shells knowing the "big boss" looking on regardless of his smiley face. Like Peter Tosh said about driving from country wid weed...tense and batty tight

I heard Ganga talking foolishness during the commentary

He musbe so vex we win

How come the ‘CEO attending the match in Florida’ morphed into the “CEO is at every series and match”?

I guess you don't watch the actual matches... no wonder the cricket will continue to be shyte when the big bosses continue to fleece de lil money instead of directing it to where its actually needed.

If the opposition is based on ‘a waste of the price of a business class ticket’ then West Indies cricket is too small and too backward to survive much longer

Indeed.

There are many things to criticize re the state of Windies cricket, the President attending a match in Florida is not one of them.

It is the principle, if they are here, there and everywhere the team plays and there's no result then it is unproductive and plain leeching.
