Never a dull moment

There is never a dull moment in Barbados says a popular tourism advertisement.Am thinking it can be easily applied to West Indies cricket.From one controversy to the next seems to be the order of the day for West Indies cricket.The first one I was fully aware of was the drama regarding Brian Lara on the 1995 tour of England.This one was so huge that the public even got to read the Manager's report courtesy Tony Cozier's cricket quarterly.Then there was the Kensington Oval boycott,the strike at Heathrow prior to the South African tour and the sending of over aged players to an U 19 World Cup.

Now we have been innundated with the WICB/WIPA saga with respect to personal endorsements.Since Teddy Griffith made his announcement all the players with the exception of WIPA and Digicel have made a statement of some sort.Naturally,each side is trying to gain an upper hand in the court of public opinion. But,is it too much to ask that all the parties involved sit down like the adults they are and work out a solution? I don't really care about whose fault is it because it has long gone past that. The damage has been done and now it is time to move forward minus all the silly posturing that is going on.

I must say it find very amusing all the fears of a second string team being slaughtered if the worst should occur.Lest we forget,this team is not even lying in the middle of the test table.This is a team that even with the presence of the "big" names has been beaten soundly all around the world.Indeed,the only test win last yr came against the Bangladeshis.So if it comes down to a second string team all they have to do is maintain the no 8 spot.Not exactly a huge task.Therefore,when or if the dust settles,is it to much to ask the team to at least draw some test matches?

Comments:
draw some matches? why that would mean having to actually bat and field and bowl properly. It duz be real hot out there pun a day ya kno? We got places to go, mounds to dance on, wumen ta chat up and sex up. ya neva kno that this cricket thing aint supposed to distract we from de resta we life? ya actng like this thing supposed ta be a job or sumting so. looka, if yall want drawn matches we would have to re-work dem contracts to include additional fees for drawn matches.

signed west indies cricket team :)
 
Good morning Kami, I trust you had a wonderful weekend. Have a great day now.
 
I am very hurt.. We know that we dont play well.. But does that mean that we have to be used when comparing with something bad?? I am hurt to see a friend use Bangladesh as an example such..

Swagato
 
I don't see why you are hurt.Where is the derogatory remark in reference to Bangladesh? The fact remains West Indies won one test for 2004 and it was against Bang and I did not use any adjectives to describe Bangladesh.
