linkWindies captaincy vacant again
FOR the 12th time in the 13 years since Richie Richardson's interrupted tenure formally ended and Courtney Walsh took over for the second time, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) is again seeking someone to take hold of the poisoned chalice of the captaincy.
The task is as difficult and potentially contentious as it was when Walsh was deposed by Brian Lara in 1997, when Jimmy Adams filled the breach after the pressures forced Lara to take a break from the game after two years and for every change since–Adams, back to Lara, to Shivnarine Chanderpaul, to Carl Hooper, to Lara again, then onto Ramnaresh Sarwan, Daren Ganga, Chris Gayle, Floyd Reifer and back to Gayle.
This time, the field is limited. Yet, for the WICB to achieve its recently-published goals, decisive, dedicated leadership is critical at all levels.
Sadly, it is a commodity in very short supply throughout West Indies cricket as the results on the field and the chaos off it attest.

I am glad the whole article cant be found. such as these are so insipid ther are hardly worth reading. word of mouth is far better.
what to expect given the way westindies management has gone for 15 years now?
if anything at all is managed like westindies cricket has been for 15 years straight its bound to die. try growing a garden and treat it the same way and hope to have seed to grow again next season.
yu wont get some to eat far less to start another garden
