Alas for cricket
Its time for devolution. T&T would definitely be better off on its own. I’m not sure about the others. However; national pride is a great spur of any nation and its activities. The region attend the olympics as devolved entities and have world class performers and records. T&T have proven eorld class cricketers and can produce its iwn squad in all firmats.

Carcon, I have to laugh wi. Did they do due diligence on Mano?? Oh my god, the man in charge of our CBI programme is V.P. of west indies cricket? you can not be serious.
Why is it that those who knows and can do better abstain from offering themselves to serve? I am very worried about the state of West Indies cricket. The organization need new life and direction. But staying out and complain will not change anything. We now are stuck with Nathan and Cameron for another term. Hopefully, by the time the next elections comes around, those who know and can do better will make themselves available to serve. Complaining and abstaining will not cut it. I hasten to say too, that I am not in the know about the politics of those responsible for selecting the leadership of West Indies cricket. Sad to see where my game is at the moment. What is worst, there are no positive signs ahead. Compared to other cricketing territories, there are no tell-tale signs on the immediate horizon for another Walsh, Lara, Ambrose, Richards, Loggie, Lloyd, Kalicharan, Greenidge, Haynes etc Sad indeed!!
Why don’t you make yourself available Rasta, seeing that you know so much?
Its not a bad thing I notice you omit Holding , Hooper, Chandepaul and other patriots of the region from your list. Those name above are scraping to survive at the expense their “loyalty” to a cause. Other regions invest in cricket and take care of those that once represented their country well into retirement. The West Indies invest in (mis)nanagement and spending the greater portion of its annual budget employing large corporation to prepare job specifications which eliminate all candidates in that region. Investment in post pkaying careers might just be the solution.
The WIBC/board members ect need to disassociate themselves with Nantan, before he cause mayhem to West Indies Cricket, hope you guys are fellow what this guy and the PM of Dominica is doing with the sale of Dominica Passports in Asia and the Middle East, just be careful thisguy is a bad rep for the. WIBC, we do not want WiBC to be caught in Nantan mess just like The Commonwealth Countries are disappointed with Skerrit pick Patricia Scotland, please beware of Emanuel Nantan
What rubish are u talking? If these are the only two nominees for the position of president and vice president, it means that local boards have lost interest in the development of WI cricket. These two guys have been at the head of WI cricket for years and the decline in our cricket continues. WI cricket is in a bad way. Stop mixing your politics with this issue.
TW, are you aware that everything have politics in it ?, church politcs, school politics, police politics, geting a job in DBS Radio station politics, sending a resume/CV for a job politics, farmers getting fertilizers politics, road rehabilitation politics, students receiving scholarships to go to Cuba, China, Barbados, and the other countries politic, the decline in West Imdies Cricket is politics and bring go carry back, so no one is mixing apples with oranges/mixing politics with the issue they are all part and parcel of politics. I do hope that those invole withWest Indies Criket Board do not themselves involved in Nantan dishonesty, his involvement with crooks, fraudsters etc, My Dominica Trade House.com, West Indies Board need to disassociate with Natan, I also hope that the Noard is not accepting any of Dominica’s Passports sale money from Nantan, so yes I say to you politic is part of daily routine, including Cricket,………………….
What do you thinking happening? Everyone is pulling out. No one find it fit to enter the race. They all give up on West Indies Croockit. Cricket is dead in the Caribbean. I for sure will not pay any fee to watch them.
Dominicans on that board? it finish!!
I Agree
It’s a done deal then! Any surprise our cricket performance is on the way down as well?
