Top players decline selection for World Cup qualifiers

this same mantra again..full of dishonesty and crocodile tears..... no matter! it does not obviate the decision west indies cricket have to make...on the pay of the players.

the players have to be paid a wage that allows them to live. if the cWI cant pay them such a wage they they have a right to go seek it elsewhere

the cWI took conscious decision to reduce the players in all ways in the cricket. the cWI now pays its executives huge salaries, far more than they pay the players. there isn't enough money in the cricket to pay the players while paying executives big time.

you cant have a massive bureaucracy in the cricket and have satisfied players at the same time. that is why the cricket worked when the planters ran it...because they never paid themselves. now that there is a massive bureau running the cricket there is no money to pay the players. the players must be reduced to chattel

so west indies have a choice: keep the bureau in which case the cricket will die..or find an economic way of running the cricket effectively in the circumstances. I have considered that question already and there is one answer: kill the bureau and make the cricket into a worker co-op

let the players run the cricket period. the players can hire a small secretariat. for the paperwork necessary..and the few professionals they need for the media, technician and physio etc..

the secretariat works in connection with the regional cricket boards..working out new and cost effective way(s) of efficient selection etc

in any business the executives always makes more the the employees

CWI trying to use scape goats for their previous sins!! Hello, Browne and his selectors have not been picking them and other experienced guys for a few years now. Now u need them, created hate and mistrust u want to go back and bring them in. What u expect!!

Pretty sad that they prefer the money over representing their country imo. At the same time, there should be regulations releasing the players to represent their countries, like happen in football.

I couldn't agree more. After all, we live in the money-driven world and these players are not to be blamed for choosing to earn more and have better lives. If the CWI wanted them on team, they should have offered a bigger salary.

People watch and enjoy cricket because of the good game that the good players deliver, not because of some executive who gets a big paycheck. The CWI should learn prioritize.

That is too unfottunate to the eyes of the coach. it hurts very much.
