"I see people in the Caribbean coming to me and saying,

'Put you whites on! We need to see you out there because we are fed up with the quality of cricket

we are getting from the West Indies team'"

good read.........

again in parts it highlights the futility involved..in the cricket. 

the wicb has nothing to do with the cricket really.  it is a construct of lucrative sinecures for west indian professionals..for which jobs, knowing cricket is not a requirement or qualification.

that is what they are there for.  the cricket is only incidental, the field product..not their real purpose.  they don't know about cricket and cant do the job required of them for the cricket to prosper.  but they don't care.  the sinecure is the thing

the wicb is the problem..but even more fundamental is the west indian system that facilitated the evolution of the wicb as it.  the one is bigger than other and makes it so..the way things are.  it is west indian society from the groud up that must be reformed.

when that occurs the cricket admin will automatically be reformed

eventually the broadcasters will abandon WI cricket and  the money will dry up


WICBwill fold
