How do you feel about cricket in the West Indies today? - ketchim - 01-07-2017
I'm sad, I'm exasperated, I'm angered about the situation, but I keep hoping.
Many times I say to myself, "It looks like we've turned that corner",
but, well, it's looking like a very long corner.
All my hopes rest in our young cricketers, but we don't do enough talking to our young people. They need to have more mentoring from people who they can trust. Not just from people with a list of qualifications after their names, but from men who can tell them how they can get through difficult situations.

Clive Lloyd made his Test debut FIFTY years ago. West Indies were in India
From Guyana, he was 22
Being captain of the West Indies was difficult. That's the first thing they think:

England is one nation. India is one nation.
We have a plethora of islands and different cultures and backgrounds.
Barbados is not like Trinidad; Trinidadians are not like the Guyanese.
The Guyanese are different to the Jamaicans.
So to mesh all these men together, you have to get the trust of the players.

"I fully accept that these men have to be paid properly.
But at the same time there has to be a minimum requirement for our batsmen.
You can't be averaging 20 in first-class cricket and be getting
a year-long contract to play for the West Indies"
