Darren Sammy, WICB-slayer?

[Peter R]

Wouldn't it be interesting if Darren Sammy makes history as the man who finally dismantled the West Indies Cricket Board?

Choosing the one place he could be guaranteed an audience of millions - the World Cup T20 final - Sammy fired what might prove a fatal salvo at the cricket board. He gave praise and thanks but there was an edge in his voice when he launched into a sorry tale of mistrust, of feelings of abandonment, neglect and betrayal. It has had dramatic reverberations and implications for West Indies cricket. For the euphoria of that day of triumph - both the women and men's teams plucked trophies out of thin air - to find voice in this emotionally charged ventilation was a powerful call to arms.

Good read. This statement has me baffled:

Cameron had gone to India when West Indies reached the knockouts, but had not visited the players.

How can a modern sports administrator think that this is acceptable behaviour?This has been my issue with so many Caribbean leaders in various capacities, they manage with a 1960s style of leadership.

Sammy a man with nothing to lose...retired from Test and not god enough to mKe the ODI squad and one whose contribution has been winning the coin toss

They renaming Beausejour Stadium after him though...

And clearly, he was emboldened by his (impeding) status when he made those comments.

As I said, regardless of where one stands on the issue (whatever it/they might be), there IS a problem, and the Board are in the best position to fix it, if the can!

First st Lucian to captain West Indies so of course. There should be an Ernest Hilaire and Julian Hunte stand in that stadium.

There is a problem but it's less about the board and more about Cameron.
