well eggs-zackly! the westindies comes first. its maintainance and expansion in the interest of all the westindian people..ALL of dem
Ganga is ah disappointment...especially given the treatment he has enjoyed at the hands of the wicb over hios career.
Darren Ganga has been one of the most priviledged players ever to wear the regional maroon.
selected from the start to be captain one day, Ganga was given every opportunity to gain exprerience to lead the westindies, from leading the A team, to representing the wicb at international fora as a very young player.
Ganga was dropped only when it was beyond clear that he could not cut it consistently at the top, could not establish himself as an intetrnational batsman at the highest level.
for Ganga to come back now and cut up the regional game and organisation by even intimating a Titty departure is ridiculous.
I was looking forard to a progressive Ganga, well educated, professional as president of the westindies nation one day. he and Jimmy Adams...moving the region forward to great things.
all them kids who played with each other, toured the world, gained great cosmopolitan experience dat would have negated all their secularisms and forged open and inclusive attitudes to life, building a unified and multi-ethinic and successful westindian nation.
its not too late for Ganga to come to his sense and assume a rightful position as a builder of the westindian nation. otherwise it would be a waste of good time, training and expectation

Ganga's not alone, though, is he?
He's just articulating what a lot of Caribbean players and fans are saying....

I dont know if that indeed is what a lot of the fans are saying. I am afro westindian and I dont think many if any afros would be for that idea. but of course I dont know current westindian generations.
yet I knew my own so well when it came to cricket, by extrapolation I doubt that currently a\many if any Afros could abandon the regional idea.
Gangas thoughts most probably flows from a sectarian position I did not expect from him especially since he was a wicb darling, knows the westindies very well indeed, by exposure and travel being more westindian than most
ganga is not an ordianry fan, ordinary westindian. ganga is a top young westindian, former westindian captain and captian of Trinidad.
ganga is middle class, educated and going further to become a lawyer. he will be among westindian leaders at the very top of westindian society before he is through.
what ganga thinks matter. the westndian ide no matter what is the way to go. there is no more argument about that. there never was an argument against it worth anything at all save in Bustamantes sabotagingf dreams.
to have ganga express what he has after all he has beneffited from the system is equal to a back-stab.
I am not for the system only for its reform or revolutionising. to be against the system in my case is to be for the real wesindian idea, a multi-ethinc, democratic and truly independent entity. thats the only way forward for the region.
its that or some kind of absorbtion into larger regional entities as dots, that surley contains much evil for us blacs and browns...unles of course a millions chavez types keep emerging on the continent. we have no gurantee of that!
Ganga is not progressive at all. thats the impression I have now. and that does not augur well for the region. my hope is that Ganaga represens just a small minority and in time he will change his perspective or fade away in irrelevance

matbe any enthusiasm for seperation is based on the long-running frustration with the wicb and its decline since 1995, under the traitorous blac elite.
the idea is to work for the reform of the wicb, bring it into the modenr age organisationally and make it really responsive to the needs of the region.
thats the way to go...not in fool-hardy seperation. there is absolutely no future in that
