New Zealand has been playing at home or playing minnows. Once their roster sends them out, they will start back losing. In their last 22 games, NZ won 8 times. Half those games were vs WI, the other half Sri Lanka/Pak. In 2012/2013, NZ won virtually nothing.
All countries have terrible stats. Only Australia and South Africa have stats to be proud of.
That letter is petty and demonstrates the insecurity of the WICB. On the filp-side, Gayle's been a waste for the past 3 years as well. Pybus should roll up that letter and spank him with it.
I browse other cricket forums; the Pakistan board is just as petty with their players. Outside of the Aussie and SA boards, the Sri Lankan board seems the only one that is sane (though it is severely cash strapped).

coincides with Dr. Hilary Beckles and his Donmanship attack on Onry :
That letter is a microcosm of WI mindset..petty and stupid beyond words can describe.
When the asshole Dave Cameron refused to take a plane trip to India to speak to the players and head off a strike and cause us $42 million in damages, who held him accountable???!!! facting duncified goat!!
Correction: There are SOME successful WI institutions of note, but the fackers that run WI cricket and a LOT of Windian folks are beyond redemption... people like those should not be entrusted to run a modern cricket franchise...
And I'm not picking on one ethnic group...
I don;t care if other boards are having problems...none of them ruled the world like we did, not of them have the talent we do, none of them play cricket they way we do. West Indies cricket is a facting global, sought after BRAND...Everyone wants to see the WI do good. there is a PLATFORM to make this product sellable, but the jackrasses at factory road are INCAPABLE of managing it...

All the key people in management should have stepped down or been fired after the India fiasco. Right now, they answer to no-one and are almost tyranical.
The WICB has adopted most of the "proposals" in the Patterson Report - which I think will slowly have a positive effect - except those calling for restructing at the admin level (which will probably negate all the aforementioned benefits).

Agree on the WICB part. However, why it took Ramnarine to tweet it? What does it this have to do with him? Or is he Gayle attorney?
