Not really....I only checked it just before posting.
Shyte does not get high proirity from me.
She probably has a growing bundle of dutty clothes piling up in the untidy house while she writing tata. This type of ooman usually keeps house very badly, if at all, while putting up a false front to the public.
If only she would leave cricket alone and stick to cooking....recipe...household tips - if she know any....

Let me put it this way Carib , YOU TELL ME WHY THE PIRATES DONT HAVE A LOT OF SPONSORS ??? .
That is where the money is coming from also revenue from TV Rights .
On this very MB there is an article by Michael Holding asking the WICB to explain where the money they got from SKYSPORTS went .
As I have continuously stated CRICKET IS A SERIOUS BUISNESS AND NEEDS TO BE TREATED SERIOUSLY .
Unfortunately the WICB believe in treating Cricket like a Mauby Shop . That is why WE are spinning top in mud with these jokers .
What is needed in my opinion is a Quasi Govermental Entity to Govern Cricket in the Region , with total Accountability , total Transparency , and because it gets money from the Regional Governments , THEY WILL HAVE TO PUBLISH EVERY YEAR A FINANCIAL STATEMENTS .

In my opinion WE ARE SUFFERING FROM THE PIRATES WHO DO NOTHING . ALSO THEIR BEDFELLOWS WHO ALSO REMAIN UNCRITICAL OF THE PIRATES .
The Pirates know that the Pseudo Sports Journalists are always going to look the other way especially since they are in bed with each other .
Look up to now these charlatans , who masquerade as Sports journalists have refused to investigate the query by Michael Holding , regarding the money the WICB got from SkySports . Yet they want people to take them seriously .
These as I have said repeatedly are the twin devils killing Cricket in the Region . Many here on this MB know that , also others in the Region yet they remain silent .
In addition a Personnel Inventory needs to be taken at Factory Road in Antigua . I am of the opinion that several people are getting paid and aint doing much .
Regards ... . POINT .

if you are talking about the PITTSBURGH PIRATES, the answer is simple-they have a small home market in comparison to other baseball teams-and that affects their sponsorship rights!
It never ceases to amaze me that people don't want to admit that the BIGGEST -and I even go so far as to say the ONLY-reason that the WI cant get big sponsor money is that they are serving a small, poor, fragmented home market.
India has a billion person united TV market to dangle in front of sponsors. We have a SIX MILLION PERSON market, fragmented among more than a dozen territories.
Only the most idiotic people in the world could imagine that we could possibly compete with India in attracting sponsors. England has a 50 million market and Australia a 20M market-and both countries are rich, with strong economies full of established , big companies with lots of money.
Go through every other cricketing country and they all have home markets bigger and richer and more united than ours.
The WICB could be perfect and could appoint every one of the Windward islands players to the WI team and we still wouldn't be able to compete with these countries financially.
Thats the fact, jack, and the sooner CC.Com people realize and understand harsh reality (I'm not holding my breath) the sooner we can have intelligent conversations about the capabilities of the WICB. I expect we will have continue to have these ridiculous, juvenile name calling and fact free diatribes about how mythical sponsors who would readily invest in WI cricket if only we brought in a new set of new(unknown) people.

IF the west indies were a world-beating team, as they were in the glory days of yesteryear, and they were to play a test and odi series with oz, how many people worldwide would watch the match, buy tickets, that is, and how many would watch tv, how many would buy the dvd's.
and IF west indies were to play india, how many people worldwide would ...........
and if the west indies were to play packistan............
got my drift??
and IF the wicb would get off their fat ugly arses and assist with the development of the north american market, and play india, packistan, england in the usa, new york, miami, how many people would..........
but doubtless some will say "and what IF it began raining nuggets of gold on the wicb?"
the extent to which that is impossible is the same extent to which it is possible for the west indies to return to their winning ways and a to worldwide audience.
john arlott said one of the greatest thrills that he experienced in his lifetime was to see richards leading his team of panthers on to the field. an indian cricket fan told me that when west indies played india, he got goose bumps watching the west indians bat and field. an englishman told me that west indian cricket is the most exciting, the most watchable, in all the world, and did wonders for the develoment of cricket worldwide.
how many hundreds of millions would hieneken pay to have the west indies team wear hienekin shirts all over the world.
when asafa powell sprints, is it a world event, that people the world over will pay money to see, or is it just for the people in the little village in jamaica where he comes from? would you say nike, adidas, puma, reebok, have any interest in what he does and what he wears? or just the handful of old folks in his village.
dujohn said the west indies once played for respect. what do they play for now? a few coins to see them to the next boogie bar and whore house. and who wants to have the name of their product associated with a bunch of drunks and whorers?
it is we, ourselves, who are killing ourselves with our pursuit of failure!!
