The WICB continues to amaze and amuse. The recent debacle in Antigua boggles the mind that we could have such incompetents managing our cricket. This is an international game and the blame must be laid fairly and squarely on the Board and Secretariat, not LICA. There was a time when the Board was blamed for not hiring "cricketers". These are the same individual running things now. What is their excuse?
The Antigua Sun reported that "during an interview with ZDK’s Patricia Benjamin on Tuesday, ("Kuma" ) Rodney (Antigua and Barbuda Cricket Association) admitted that the growth of the grass at the facility is not what he had expected but that the other aspects of the preparation at the facility were in “near” perfect conditions.
“The grounds, sometime after Romantic Rhythms, was taken up and redone and, right now, you can almost call it perfect. The growth of the grass, to be honest, is not what we had really expected but the ground is still in a nice playable condition,” he said.
He must have had his head in the proverbial sand or somewhere else!
This is just one in a string of embarrassments. We remember the President's officegate affair, the CEO nonsensical babbling and, what the media has been silent on, the continued insult to women's cricket in terms of the appointments of the management team to the World Cup...
The show goes on. Believe me, this will not be the last such episode.
