It is time for the West Indies to be dismantled - Barbosa - 08-12-2015
It is time for the West Indies to be dismantled. We are independent nation-islands.In every other sport we are represented as individual countries. WICB has been foraging off our cricket for its members for too long. Each Caribbean island should vie for test status like Ireland, Scotland, Kenya, etc.Why should Trinidad and Tobago belong to a group, WICB, which victimizes our cricketers? Why is Britain which includes Scotland in its land mass has England and Scotland playing as two separate countries? Why is India, Pakistan and Bangladesh play as three separate countries when they belong to the same land mass, notably India.Why should the West Indies which is made up of separate islands play as one team? WICB has destroyed our cricket by its greed, mismanagement and insular leadership. It is time for cricket in the Caribbean to be independent as the islands themselves.

Well at this rate cricket in the Caribbean will be dead in the next 20 years! I can state without a doubt that the children in Jamaica are more interested in track & field as well as football than cricket. If the West indies is dismantled then only a few Caribbean teams may make it to test status if the icc allows it.

well I am finally coming around to the idea of break up. it is the only way to get rid of the wicb.
break it break, it up, break it up... break down. these are the breaks as Curtis Blow used to rhyme

Are u questioning the very existence of many teams playing individually in same land mass ? or are u giving a thought on why WICB shdn't be adopting this ?
West Indian players look fit enough but on the cricket field but they just don't click as a unit.maybe they shd give it a shot in athletics as well.
Might as well do themselves a huge favor

Windies cricket is all about passion and playing the game the way it should be played. Even in Tests, our approach has always been of a positive nature and thankfully we have had some of the finest players to match the men like Don Bradman, Sunil Gavaskar and recently Sachin Tendulkar.
