Andy Roberts, the former West Indies fast bowler, has said that the West Indies cricket board needs a complete overhaul if the region's cricket is to improve. He called on the board president Julian Hunte and the chief executive Ernerst Hilaire to resign and was also critical of the way the West Indies players' association approaches its role. Roberts said today's players spend too much time in the gym and not enough time in the nets.
Having coached West Indies in the 1996 World Cup and been on the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) cricket committee as recently as 2008, Roberts understands how the existing system functions, and lashed out at the board, saying they were damaging cricket in the Caribbean. "The board does what it pleases them," Roberts told ESPNcricinfo. "They don't have a clue how to move West Indies cricket forward. They don't have a clue. Some of the board members should resign otherwise the same problems will keep appearing in the future also."

as I said about Andy this morning he is the real deal!
there is absolutely nothing insular or parochial about Andy Roberts. he is a true wesindian, the real deal, people like Richie Richardson do not come close, are indeed he is the opposite of Andy.
Andys' words here are strong, incisive, spot on, revolutionary!
Hunte, Hilaire and the top cricket brass are INCOMPETENT! THEY DONT KNOW CRICKET, THEY DONT HAVE A CLUE AS TO HOW TO DEVELOP CRICKET. THEY ARE A WASTE OF TIME IN A CRICKET CONTEXT AND DEH SHUD BE CHASED AWAY FROM FACTORY ROAD

I put it to allyuh again...JULIAN HUNTE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST PRESIDENT OF THE WICB THAT THERE EVER WAS.
HUNTE IS THE WORST OF A LINE OF PRESIDENTS THAT INCLUDES SOME TERRIBLE TESTS BEFORE HIM.
history will lynch Huntes figure in the process. hiis reputation will be torn apart, shredded, and he will be hung historically, guranteed forever to occupy a high place in the regional book of infamy

Andy understands how to rebuild WI cricket! he came on board when WI was rebuilding. he came during the time when discipline was the requirement to move the next level. Insularity had no place in WI cricket at during that period.
these insular skunts we have now are a bunch of waste and are surrounded by a bunch of kiss ass buttholes
