**** WICB Emergency Meeting ****

Quote:The WICB is mindful of the related decisions of the BCCI Working Committee.

In light of the longstanding good relationship between WICB and BCCI, which goes back decades and has produced numerous mutual benefits, the WICB looks forward to meeting with the BCCI to discuss these decisions which can have serious implications for West Indies cricket.

WICB believes that a way can be found to repair the damage that has been caused and to ensure that similar events do not recur, with the focus being on the betterment of West Indies and world cricket.

The WICB thanks all stakeholders, particularly the ICC, BCCI, their broadcasters and sponsors for their patience and understanding in this matter and looks forward to the continuation of a strong relationship between our Boards.

The WICB is committed to acting as expeditiously as the situation allows, and will provide further information to the public as soon as it is appropriate to do so.

So same old?

same old crap

Thought a 250k per annum chap was hired with the mandate of a new Direction ?

position was created called " Director of Cricket" : how can it be same ole , same ole ??

Anyone knows his whereabouts ?  :-\

Fineleg,


Prior to this debacle, I had hoped the WICB would be getting their house in order but I doubt this will ever happen.


What do you think?


I would have thought Wavell would have done the honourable thing and stepped down. I expected those on the perpetual gravy train would cling on for dear life.


It would be interesting to see how the players are dealt with leading to the SA tour.

The simplest way forward is for Hinds to resign as head of WIPA immediately.  The players could then unanimously elected a new President and begin negotiations with WICB for a new MOU and CBA.

Of course this will not happen and I'm pretty sure Hinds will need to be forcibly removed by the players.  This will inevitably delay the negotiation of a new MOU and CBA with the WICB which could in turn jeopardize the South Africa tour and possibly the World Cup.

exactly!  hinds mus' clear the way for things to flow a bit although even if he goes Skameron may not budge on the MOU he signed with Hinds. 

he has stated dat dat is final..and the only document he will work with

to save the SA tour


can the WICB go to some court and get the Union Void since it does not have full support of it's member


send each player a letter that the SA tour will be based on the last payment structure

Nah.  Cameron cannot take the position that the previous MOU is still of force and effect.  It may very well be the legal position but it is not the pragmatic position to take.


The players may very need to have an arbitrator declare that MOU void ab initio so they can proceed forward with a clean slate.

The players won't accept it.  The WICB is not the BCCI.  They simply don't have the coin (not to mention goodwill) to deal directly with the individual players the way the BCCI does with its players.
