Do you think the WICB has over-reached itself in its handling of player issues?
Given the state of our cricket, there needs to be a certain amount of checks and balances, in terms of the governance of the game in the Caribbean. Whether that balance is carried out or not in the right spirit is another issue. But if you look at all the successful countries, you'll realise their players' body and their administrative body work very closely together. They have established a very cordial and respectful manner in which they go about doing things. You look at the Australian Cricketers' Association and how they operate with Cricket Australia. We're still stuck somewhere in between and the faster we can get around that and move forward, the more positively it will impact on cricket. Read more

Excellent interview by DG here...one thing yuh can seh...DG on his way in becoming a very good lawyer...very articulate dude!!!BallOil wrote:what y'all think bout his article?
With the good credit out ah de way....see de hypocracy below...yuh skunt get selected and stink up de joint as a batsman and now yuh complaining yuh start too early...blame Lara then!!!
It is probably a touch early to ask you this, but any regrets so far, as a batsman and as a leader?
As a batsman, I think if I had the experience of playing a certain amount of cricket before I got the opportunity to play international cricket, I would have been a lot more mature. I would have been better prepared to think of my responsibilities. My entry to international cricket was very premature. I had just played three of four first-class matches and I was on my first tour with West Indies to South Africa in 1998. Initially I was told by Brian [Lara] and the selectors that it was a learning tour for me and I would be playing most of the practice matches to help my development. I ended up playing in three of the five Tests on that dreaded tour.
Suh payback is a biatch and yuh bitter yuh Cantbatskunt.....Players having one good first-class season are thrust into the international arena while there are players who dominate the first-class scene day in and day out and don't even get that opportunity. For the last four years, I haven't played for West Indies. This year I am not far behind Marlon Samuels in terms of runs and I am not involved in any West Indian representative team. Yet I am doing so well for T&T. Marlon was out of cricket for two years, he had one good season and he is playing all versions of the game.

Informative , honest and well spoken .
His opinion is that sooner or later the islands will go their own way in cricket , to much insular
thinking.
Players are not picked on ability but by insular Administrators , the best team is not selected .
We have seen that on numerous occasions ie If Marlon didn't say no , We would not have seen
Bishoo.
He gave a great view of the infighting, problems etc of Cricket in the Caribbean .

darren...like jumy adams is a solid yung westindian who shud be speaking in regional terms, the making of a regional nation.
that kind of fracture speech serves no useful purpose. darren shud research his point of view, to ensure he is right.
if he finds he is not right he shud change to that which is right

Darren is right about the the fliuid and postive relationship essential between the players/wicb
but if Ganga knows westindian history and how the westindiesd came to be..and how it functions currently..and why it functions as it does...he will know why there can be no such positive relationship between the players and tthie dministration.
the very existence of the westindian elites and their institutions depends on the most complete exploitation of the westindian people. when they are effed up to the westindian people they are simply taking in front before the fron takes them due to theirexploitation and guill...their crimes against the people.
they know what the people dont know. they know what they are doing to the people. so the allow no space and possibility for a decent relationship to develop between them and the people. deh have no choice.
its not the fault of the players. nothing in cricket is the fault of anyone but the wicb..and the westindian elite that support and maintain the wic.
only when an honest nationalist elite takes over, who have not exploited the people and work in the interes of the region can such a positve relationship between players and admin develop
