General Commentary......

My job is done..finished!

when I began posting on west indian cricket boards I established that west indies cricket is in a crisis, that those who run our cricket are not in sync with its best interest, its growth and development and they will strangle it.

I posed that the only solution to the problem in the cricket was popular intervention..that the west indian elites were incapable of restoration of west indian cricket glory, just as they are incapable of building a west indian nation..a prerequisite for more success.

and here we are.  there is no balance or equilibrium to evolutionary movement.  it is impossible to achieve a state of being and to stay in that state of being.  we are always moving in some direction or the other all driven by the potential in the universal mix at all times.  in the case of the cricket if we are not moving forward we are moving backward.

this current west indies cricket team is worse than the original west indies team that entered test cricket in 1928. 

under the drive or wicb parasitism west indies have traveled back in time to be worse than we ever were. from here on it will be 1906 with C A Ollieviere and LeBrun Constantine..then to 1865 when first class competition began and tours to the United States and Canada to play Upper Canada College.

we have witnessed a very rapid de-evolution under the drive and lash of our new masters..black and brown west indians in charge..the HNIC's...HEAD NHIGGERS IN CHARGE SO TO SPEAK ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

it is the same thing with the west indian nations..all of them in vast debt, so deep in debt they will never, ever be able to pay it off..all except Trinidad where we have been lucky to have oil.  but when that is done we are toast just like the rest of the west indies

and these west indian HNIC's are nasty to a fault..like the man TD wants me to love, Clive Lloyd, the current west indian henchman, like Tony Howard used to be.  were the wicb  a mafia like that portrayed for us in the gangster  movies, both Howard and Lloyd would be hitmen, mowing down their enemies like me..killing all who the wicb felt threatened its parasitism of the cricket.

but its sweet!  I am like the Rev wallowing in west indian absolute failure but much more than Revs etho-centric focus. at least I am on the right side of things, pointing in the direction where positive resolution resides.  but it does not matter  if west indians all know truth.  west indians do not care about truth, about reality.  there it is right in front their faces and they do nothing about it.

but unlike the cricket disaster the failed state disaster is going to affect every west indian alive..already affects negatively every west indian alive.  we will see as the economic crisis already engulfing the west indies worsen as the failed western capitalism finally becomes unresponsive to financial streamlining and manipulation and outright lies, and the truth becomes the basis on which the markets operate.

I am speaking to no one just posting an opinion that no one is required to read.  I am coming to the end of posting on cricket boards. my job is done, my contribution made.  I have no more to say

Just fast forward to the rise of T20 circa 2015 !

Rich , Lucrative Unheard of  Contracts for Sloggers in Cricket  !!

NOW try to think how CLR and the Boys of 1906 would think about this phenomena 

OR how it would have Impacted our entry in TEST in 1928.

that reminds me of a description I read once of the Canadian charted accountants exam..3 days of highly theoretical and abstract questions on business activity.

I might try to ansah pars 1 and 2 of that question, but the last third barely connects and is impossible to tackle

Not the CA program ...the CFA 

The point is the Influences to CRICKET has change from a Historical point of view !

You need to wipe the slate clean : not only for T20 , but also for controlling powers.


The movement of players in the Caribbean is another solid point WHEN it catches on !

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Evaluation

this is what I meant Ketchim:  the UFE examination

Quote:The UFE is also reputed to be among the world's most challenging professional exams where students are required to use an integrative business thinking model to obtain the designation.

the CFA is tuff as well..both of them are!

this here is the problem you know...your approach is bass ackwards:

""""You need to wipe the slate clean """

see below!

Its like everything else in the Universe where historical precedence is now IRRELEVANT !

romantic , yes  :practical ?  hell, no !

Same with Cricket ........There is a shift in the International balance of power.

There is a local refusal of retainer contracts for the lucrative international 20 over Leagues.

and now for the Caribbean specific : Go It Alone to curb the rampant Insularity.

Player movement even though a Noble idea has not been embraced !

The older Folks never thought this would come about.

Q.E.D. ......quod erat demonstrandum

what does shift in international power mean in cricket..what do you mean by shift?

India has collated an arrangement with the 2 traditional white powers to share the cricket booty.  that is more like a coup ...a like power to the traditional power has emerged powerful enough to force a rearrangement in power relations.
there has been no systematic change.  the basis of historical cricket relations stayed the same.  according to this historic relationship the 2 traditional white powers no doubt secured some benefit in the rearrangement for the Kiwi and RSA.which should kick in as long as RSA remains white.

and again by that historic relation the countries of people with dark skin including the west indies will continue to get an unfair shake

cricket was capitalist and imperial and India has just cast itself in an imperial coat..in cricket the biggest of them all. Indian was always capitalist. the old struggle is still there, out of the past, even if much closer to resolution currently than before

Quote:The older Folks never thought this would come about.

not at all.  I knew stuff like this would come along.  that's easy meat.  what is not easy meat is the flip and impious way you deal with what threatens your best interest.

logic is always the way....that which is one's best interest informs their decisions and actions..their plans and responses.

so then..demonstrate the logic in this

if we strip away ICC opposition to any such separation..where is the logic in that conception..unless there is more in the mortar that you know that I don't have a clue about ::confused::

now mind you...in the end I don't care what allyuh do.  I am looking however for the logic/benefit of going it alone

Quote:There is a local refusal of retainer contracts for the lucrative international 20 over Leagues.

there must be a logic to that!  what is it...do you know ::confused::

Regardless of how it is worded : there is a shift in POWER CONTROL !

ICC is irrelevant now : the Big 3 will allow the Go It Alone .

think about it 

And of course the position of Head Coach and DIRECTOR of Cricket is ABUSED.

For us in the W.I. .............Pybus on de snap of a Finger banish Kieran Powell

what did our new Opener do ?? Double DUCKS.

Head Coach : get rid of the veteran Shiv .

ITs like there is a determined effort to SABOTAGE our progress...
