The WICB have attempted to throw the players to the lions must be viewed in light of the fact that the board, which had debts of $5.7m at the end of 2013, earned $22.3m from the last Indian tour of the Caribbean and have subsisted on that income for the previous three years.

That is why the decision to down tools by Captain Bravo egged on by the Oaf was foolish and SELFISH.

[size=14pt]it is only you who have taken what is a silly position in the issue, totally opposed to good sense and the facts in the matter.
by focusing on the players you ignore and hide what the wicb has done as the instigators of this crisis for west indies cricket. [/size]

I genuinely do not see what all the fuss is all about. If these players were vying for Test spots

Correct is right ! and by extension had NO reason to pull out of 3 TEST matches after completing their 4 out of 5 LO games.
But your hots for Shiv blinds you to forward thinking !

[quote author=Snoopster link=topic=93622.msg596110#msg596110 date=1414432959] So it's questionable whether the SA T20 tournament was a motive for Bravo and Pollard to strike on this Indian Tour.

Be that as it may Snoopster , BUT the crux of the matter is after playing 4 outta 5 games of their Contract .
They gave NO thought to the TEST retained contract guys for 15 days of REAL cricket (plus fans of the pure format) !
Selfish is a mild term and now turns out to be an international disaster .....
Chanderpaul has said nothing about the standoff with the board and players and it is no surprise since that is his nature .. cowardly batting and a coward in taking a stand one way or the other.
