Right after his interview released through YouTube on "Beard Before Wicket" I started to watch but quickly lost interests. Then I watched Television Jamacia's clip on the same interview. Bravo blamed successive CWI boards for the state of cricketing infrastructure in the region.
I take Bravo'sstated position with a huge grain of salt. I do not absolve the board in its varying tenures for the decline of WI cricket, due to lack of vision and investment.
Equally the mercenary cricketers in his era should shoulder a huge part of the blame for disrupting legacy and continuation of successive generations, after all that had been invested in their own development. Much has been said here on the matter.
There's also the reality that West Indies is comprised of small independent island states with limited resources whose interest had been in their socio-economic advancements beyond nepotistic cricket.
For decades cricket had been played in a state of deep Insularity and pettiness ( but not lack of talent) which hindered equitable development and the governmental will, and to invest in cricket infrastructure was not a priority. Over the years funding from the ICC except for the triumvirate, continued to decline from its already meagre figures. This compounded an already gloomy situation
Wealth nor talent, does not equate to brains. However it does not prevent sporting icons from airing their erroneous positions. This is the case with this Bravo position, so expressed
