You're right, Maps, let's just ignore the gutter-rat and his vitriol....like all WICB lackeys, he tries to invent personal slurs to throw at us when his under-performing West Indian team is shown up by the excellent athletes from the Caribbean - not just Jamaica, but Trinidad, Grenada and the Bahamas. It's funny to hear him accusing others of not being of Caribbean origin when he was totally clueless in telling socafighter that white people in Trinidad had cotton plantations instead of sugar!mapoui wrote:well we knew the vitriol wud flow..an endless lsited flow of nonsense patter that leads nowhere, discusses no substantive point(s) that sweetens the debate and leads somewhere.
I go back long before you mike..my first test was the bottle pelting in 1960 at the oval..a lil bwoy I watched kanhai make 110 blazing runs after the bottles.
OZ 1965, England 1968, India 1971...then I was gone. in 1984 I was back and saw India, then OZ next when westindies tormented them at the ARG
I saw Shell Shield in 1963, 64, 66, 69, 70, 71 when Trinidad led by our man Joey, finally beat Barbados to win the shield. "Cockraoch Ent Fraid Fowl Again' was the sign at the Oval as Durity and Gabriel knocked off the winning runs
thats the time man...not the garbage going orn currently when idiots, real stupids like the big mout' here can hang around and supposedly have a say...about jackasses and incompetents like Gibson and Sammy, Radford...a piece of disgusting neo-colonialist idiocy like skunt Hunte who is suited to 1950 not 2012..a man who believes that letters of congratulations are better than putting the right people in place to run westindies cricket.
people like them cud not kerry bats or water back in the day
just ignore the damm fool mike. I dont even read his shit anymore. when people stop paying attention to his total, obscene stupidity he will have to raise his level or stop posting
What the gutter-rat needs to realise is that performance cuts across all boundaries, whether you're a team player or an individual. Jamaica's athletics has been outperforming its cricketers over the past decade, ever since Veronica Campbell-Brown started winning gold medals, and now Trinidad has a world-beater, Grenada has a world-beater, and the Bahamas have world-beaters. St Kitts already had a world-beater in Kim Collins, and they will have more in the future in athletics. This West Indies team is not a world-beater by any stretch of the imagination yet....
Maybe the cricket authorities need to look at how the athletics associations go about their business, and implement radical changes, and if that means getting rid of the WICB to do so, then so be it - that must be the way to go! But whenever these amateur administrators interfere in athletics as they do in cricket, we have the fiasco described by Keith in the post of his I quoted above.
If the gutter-rat knew Caribbean history the way we know our Caribbean history, he wouldn't be so quick to assume Caribbean athletics dominance will decline in 15 years. He's clearly never heard of Deon Hemmings (gold medal for Jamaica in the women's 400m hurdles in 1996), Haseley Crawford (gold medal for Trinidad in the men's 100m in 1976), and Donald Quarrie (Olympic medals in 100m, 200m and relays in 1976 and 1980). And in between the Olympics there are the World Championships, where Jamaica has had a rich vein of form, winning gold medals in a number of events: Bert Cameron, 1983, 400m; women's sprint relay, 1991; Merlene Ottey, 200m, 1993, and so on. Even Ryan Brathwaite of Barbados won a gold medal in the 110m hurdles in the 2009 World Champs, and he's more revered in Bim than any of their cricketers right now. The gutter-rat doesn't realise that Jamaica's success in the Olympics stretches back to Arthur Wint winning the 400m in the last London Olympics, in 1948.
So, I don't know what 'cycle' the gutter-rat is talking about....This sprinting dominance by the Caribbean is nothing new. The Caribbean might not win as many gold medals in 2008, 2009 and 2012, but they will also be among the gold medals, as the 2011 World Champs showed.
The gutter-rat can talk all the crap he wants...my father is not an Indian, but a Caribbean man of Indian origin, I attended Jamaica College, and the University of the West Indies, and I represented Jamaica in sports, and so did my sister. That armchair idiot has done nothing for the region he claims to support - he doesn't live there, didn't go to school or university there. This is a Caribbean site, and if he wants to talk about the British athletes I've congratulated, there are other sites he can visit to discuss them. The fact that he still refuses to congratulate the Caribbean athletes for doing well in the Olympics tells us all we need to know about what type of person he is....
, 
RUNNING A FECKING RACE IS NOT THE SAME AS ELEVEN MEN FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CARIBBEAN BATTLING ON A CRICKET PITCH YOU FECKING DICKHEAD!!, i've already totally debunked your notions as far as the WEAK competition these caribbean athletes are up against too but obviously he's still in DENIAL just like he is when it comes to him being english!!...i mean even MAPS SAYS YOU'RE ENGLISH YOU SKUNT!! 
, those were merely flash in the pan results, the essence of "domination" is what the US have done, not one offs but CONSISTENT WINNERS over many years, once Bolt is gone we'll see how good Jamaica do then!! 
, WHERE WAS THE 100M GOLD MEDALS FOR JAMAICA BEFORE BOLT CAME ALONG YOU FECKING PRICK? tell me where they were and then come and talk, the definition of "dominance" IS WINNING, not getting a fecking bronze dodgy ex teacher!!,
