commentary by RYAN PATRICK

West Indies cricket fans sickened by the last-minute nature of negotiations between the WICB and WIPA should vent their frustrations squarely at Ken Gordon and Tony Deyal, the two key decision-makers at the West Indies Cricket Board.

According to correspondence I've seen -- documents that have been circulated to several WICB directors -- WIPA has been pleading for the board to come to the negotiation table since January 2007. Yet, despite a request in March by Ken Gordon for Deyal to be "punctilious" in observing the letter and spirit of agreements with WIPA, the board did not even reply to WIPA until two weeks ago.

yawn

I strongly disagree with Ryan here.The fault is solely with Ken Gordon.
WTF does "PUNCTILIOUS" mean???????

Deyal nuh gat no dictionary,how he guh know dat word!!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just let me know when WI are ready to play ball! Not interested in all this posturing! :wink:

That's business as usual and to be expected.

It's also expected that they will lose again in arbitration.

And it should be expected that they will try to ditch arbitration in the near future as inimical to their interests.

You in an almighty hurry to bash the future losing captain....

:lol:

I wonder how many trees died so that that correspondence could be facilitated? :roll:

This is a problem between incompetent Trinis - as such we the sensible members of the rest of the Caribbean have absolutely no interest in this bitter domestic dispute.

After April 29th - when hopefully the resignation of Garden Hoe will have been accepted, the firing of his stooge(Deyal) will have been concluded - and Ramnaswine will have done the right thing and demitted office - then maybe we can reengage in the process again.

Deyel said to tell WIPA and President of the WICB, ken Gorden that he has no idea what "punctilious" mean. Perhaps this might be the cause of the delay. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yo Carl, please be punctilious about bringing wicketkeeping gear to our Toronto Curry Goat game. Arawak left his kit with the club folks in Jamaica.

There is really no excuse for WICB to take that long to respond to this and move toward a resolution, BUT if you look at what the respective roles are currently all WIPA/Ramnarine was doing during the period was just sending off letters, no proposed resolution.

Whereas the WICB was charged with running a world cup.

Still does not eliminate the WICB's apparent and continuous ineptitude.

That's the distinction I've been making all along. I think for the most part WICB as a unit is woefully inefficient and a little more than borderline incompetent, and the issue going forward is their unwillingness to draw on resources outside the region.

Call me biased, but it seems that WIPA's problem is not one of ignorance, but instead one of willful confusion. WIPA appears to me to thrive on discord.
