WHERE IS LARA?
CWI stages 2-day summit in T&T but...

The promised meeting of the minds to address the problems in West Indies cricket begins today. But will Brian Lara be there? Cricket West Indies yesterday announced that a two-day summit will be held at the Hyatt Regency here. However, in a CWI release, yesterday, Lara’s name was missing from what was termed the “high profile attendees.”No explanation was given for the absence of his name.
Neither CWI’s PR and Media Manager Randy Howard, nor CEO Chris Dehring responded to queries about the absence of Lara’s name from the release.
Efforts to reach Lara were also unsuccessful. The release did state however, that the summit will, “address critical challenges facing West Indies cricket and implement immediate structural reforms.”

The first day of talks will focus on “High Performance Strategy and Structural Reform”. Wide-ranging panel discussions will examine current team performance challenges and identify immediate improvement strategies.CEO Dehring also highlighted the significance of the think tank.The focus on day two will shift to “Player-centered High-Performance Solutions,” with direct input from current senior players and coaching staff about performance gaps and team ambitions. Head coach Sammy will lead a coaching staff feedback session to address the team’s brand of cricket as well as any immediate difficulties, while players will be able to speak candidly about their experiences.

Notice not a word from the VP of CWI...

Waiting in the background till Shallow is tarred and feathered, then claiming I had nothing to do with it.

CWI has had so many papyshows. As you noted, nothing will occur...Caribbean citizens have a 7-day memory span.

I am hoping for fall, Narps...14 days of very hot weather this summer, and counting

Lake Erie's water temperature is 77°F today at Port Dover. Niagara Gorge is normally cooler, but it isn't.

Snow will be plentiful this coming winter...rolleyes

Based on the pictures posted on CWI Facebook page, Lara was there.

I did not see Shiv nor Viv in any of the pictures.

Lara, Lloyd, Bradshaw, the chosen one and the usual big ones from CWI were also there.
