Cricket, Lovely Cricket
So, the impasse in West Indies Cricket has not yet been resolved. And this despite fervent attempts by Grenadian Prime Minister Kenneth Anthony to find a solution. He seems to be back and forth meeting with all the parties concerned and phoning here and there... hes even been touching base with the other regional prime ministers...
West Indies Cricket is important. Personally, I hope that something can be worked out. I can see the boards' side, in that they need money to run the affairs of cricket, and so they need to appease their sponsor, and at the same time, I can see the side of the players. I saw some data on what the player's earn and I think its precious little for people who are playing for us, the West Indies. They provide so much entertainment, they have such an impact on the West Indian psyche, and the way we see ourselves, and they are playing a big role in terms of maintaining the connections between all the islands. They deserve more, and they want to get more by taking advantage of these individual sponsorship agreements with Cable & Wireless.
At the same time, P.M. Anthony does seem to be too involved in this issue to me! Its either Grenada doesn't have any problems and P.M. Anthony doesn't have much to do, or he is misdirecting his efforts. Which do you think it is?
Anyway, T.G.I.F!

As to the impasse, I think I'm on mangements' side. You talk about what the players earn but how they play and what them playing nowadays just have negative effect on my psyche cause them turn beating stick. its embarassing.
