Well, Carlos has now decided he wants a piece of Andre's action....

No central contract for me, thank you very much!

LOL you tink him gine get into this HISTORY making team now duncy? Go sih dong

What "history" making team? The 'C' team wins a dead rubber match, and you suddenly think they're better than Clive Lloyd's team?

How are you going to have a "history-making" team when your trough-dwelling president is at daggers drawn with our best batsman?

' Dave Cameron has said Darren Bravo was offered a Grade-C contract because his "poor" recent performances did not merit a higher pay grade. Cameron also revealed that of the 15 players who were recently offered WICB contracts till September 2017, only Kraigg Brathwaite and Marlon Samuels had received contracts higher than the C category. Along with Bravo, Carlos Brathwaite and Samuels, who was given a Grade-B contract, had declined the board's offer. This is the first time that the WICB offered an explanation of the contract Bravo was offered. "It is explicit that if your averages are not above a certain level it tells you what contracts you get. It is very, very explicit," Cameron told SportsMax TV, a Caribbean television network. "His averages in the last two years have been declining, so what do you do? Reward poor performance or do you encourage him to get better?" Bravo is one of the most experienced players in the West Indies Test squad and when Cameron asked if it was demotivating for the batsman to be offered a low contract, he said: "If you continue to keep giving him an A contract then what is the motivation to get better? He has been on an A contract and he hasn't done well." Bravo responded with a tweet saying he had never been offered a Grade-A contract. "You hav been failing 4 d last 4yrs. Y don't u resign and FYI I've neva been given an A contract. Big idiot @davec51," he said on Twitter.'

Do you agree with Dave that Samuels deserved a 'B' contract, and that Bravo only deserved a 'C' contract?

'West Indies Cricket Board has sent a notice to Darren Bravo saying the batsman's match contract has been cancelled due to the "disparaging" remarks he made on Twitter about board president Dave Cameron earlier in the week. In an e-mail sent to Bravo on Friday, Richard Pybus, WICB's director of cricket, warned that if the batsman did not delete the tweet and apologise by Saturday afternoon, he could face further action from the board's disciplinary panel. While Bravo has not made any comment in public, it is learnt he has not yet responded to the WICB. On Saturday, the WICB had replaced Bravo in the squad for the Zimbabwe tri-series for "inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour", which breached contractual obligations. While the cancellation of his match contract applies to the Zimbabwe series for now, it could include future tours. Bravo is currently without a retainer after he declined a central contract offered by the WICB for the 2016-17 period in November.'

So, Afro, is this a good move? Driving Lil Bravo from West Indies cricket?

Disparaging remarks addressed @ Dave Stuuuuppppsssss! It must be the case that he has not read any of the various bits of lunacy penned by yours truly in his direction.

AFRO, what if datz how learnt the twittering business and became a follower of Dave so as to be able to send him a message linking to some of the more classic posts made in his honour on this website? I think we can have a lot of fun introducing Dave to your fans dem. I might even get some feedback (from the horse's mouth so to speak) on the lil wicb wuk that I've been waiting pon fuh so long.

Datz how must either be a quick learner or this twittering business is dead, dead easy peasy cos since I posted that @ 18:44 I done joined up with the twits dem and became one of Dave's followers WOW can you believe it! Hey twitter here comes AFRO's windiesfans.com inbox tweet the WICB ... and I can assure you that you ain't seen nothing yet.

Eh, Eh! Is how my bookie deh pon the ball so, man. Is this how modern technology working?! Well I ever.

@howzdat

See AFRO datzhow am in twitter training:

A Tweet is any message posted to Twitter which may contain photos, videos, links and up to 140 characters of text. Click or tap the Tweet button to post the update to your profile

Am finding that this twittering training is a bit like dem laps wot the windies players dem was doing a few years back Laps is good for stamina, heart and legs but I also think that for my arms I will have to incorporate that Champion dance that accompanied that song by @Newbigdog.

Such training might also help my arms to support my fingers to type more sensibly!

LOL Howzy my friend!!..great to see you keeping this thread alive bro . Unfortunately I'm not on twitter yet but I'll be sure to let you know when I am.

Yes please do AFRO. Meanwhile am just a humble servant doing my best to housekeep this inbox whilst waiting for a wicb wuk.

Tek your time on the @twitter business whilst I continue to demonstrate my multi-tasking abilities in the hope that any prospective employer (worth their salt) will notice that my inbox management skills are un-hinged, un-rivalled and so uniformly unpredictable that all (<<< eye-ballers) are well advised to sit real tight inside their sockets lest they blame yours truly for having their
(<<< eye-balls) RAOTFLTAO

West Indies coach fired?

By now we all know that Simmons was indeed on borrowed time. Since then, on February 3rd 2017 to be precise, Afghanistan have appointed Phil Simmons as a consultant - nice wuk if you can get it. According to the ACB the the overall scope of his remit is "to assist head coach Lalchand Rajput on technical issues". The arrangement covering series against Zimbabwe, Ireland and West Indies.

How have things progressed? Well, in February 2017 Afghanistan beat Zimbabwe 3-2 in a 50 over series; in March 2017 Afghanistan beat Ireland 3-0 in a T20 series!

What next you might ask? Well, in June Simmons and his charges are arriving in the West Indies.

Stay tuned folks because hopefully this AFRO's windiesfans.com inbox fuh the WICB will provide updates.

Heaven help us all if Simmons leads his charges to victory!

LOL howzy you scared of di Afgans now? ....Of course our limited overs teams have had a torrid time of late but I still believe we have the talent in the region to make a comeback. Playing a confident and well organised England whilst we have seniors missing was always gonna be tough. Hopefully by the time we play Afganistan we'll have the likes of Charles, Narine, Darren Bravo and maybe even Pollard back!!!..and I think their experience should give us a great chance to get some wins and build some confidence.
