Speaking ahead of the animalistic frenzy...er..... I mean West Indies three match test series vs England, and against the frenzied cries of those who would campaign for the benefits of deceit, Michael Holding, who after all these years still hasn't missed a step of his elegant stride pattern or a yard in accuracy, admits
cricket in the Caribbean is in desperate trouble
And then, with all the deadly venom and career threatening potency of yesteryear, go's on to question WICB competence
“They either take people for fools or they are fools. One of the two.
They have lost all credibility. I don’t know why they all just don’t step down.
They obviously won’t because they have their own private agendas but they have lost all credibility with the people.”.
Having lost the truncated ODI series to India, been thrashed in South Africa, in both ODI and test series, then suffering a humiliating ODI world cup loss to Ireland, which preceded the expectedly limp exit from the Aus/NZ cricket fest, its difficult to go against his prediction of more British West Indian misery.
With Australia on the horizon added to a slew of player retirements, voluntary breaks to reorganise personal schedules, injuries that will only manage the limited demands of T20 cricket, plus both previous engagements and prior arrangements, things seem to have looked no worserer ........... unless you are the British WICB of course, who recorded a $1 million dollar loss over the last 12 months to Sep 2014, have yet to resolve a potentially fatal claim from the BCCI or It's resultant threat to cancel next years tour to the Caribbean.
As bleak as it sounds the more fervent supporters still claim, from only one side of their mouth mind, that this is the ideal opportunity for some of the lesser known " talents " in the region to seize their chances with both hands while also repaying some of WICB's huge investment in both their development and growth
........... while most others say it's just another occasion where results resolve it bun a little hotta for those inclined to a more voyeuristic perusal.
I simply ask you
how do you know for sure when you've caught a rat ....... when you hear it bawling and squealing in the trap you set ha hah ha haha ha haha hah ha squealing in a frenzy haha ha haha ha haha haha ha ha ha ha ah hah aha ha hahaha ahah haha ha ha haha haha ha
