Many would think that I should get into the melee that is the Champion’s League (CL) fiasco, with the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) in one corner, the Guyana cricket team in the second corner, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) in a third corner, and, to complete the boxing ring, there is the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) in that fourth corner. They are all culpable here. “If you are holding your head up, while all around you are falling down and losing theirs, you might be thought of as being mad, senile, out of place or overly-ambitious!” I could not get into the rhetoric and deliberate noise, as I do not, and most others do not either, know all of the specific details of the situation. I have a very good idea of what is the CLT20 2010, and Guyana’s participation. Indeed, I know much more than most, as I have been privy to most, not all, of the communications between the warring parties. However, I think that it is very bad form to give situations that are suggested as being concrete, when all of the facts, not the fantasy, are not fully known. It is one thing to give an opinion; it is quite another to use that opinion as a suggested fact.
