Brathwaite and his ugliness is not an example of our cricket

 This POW is convinced Brooks, Bonner, Brathwaite, Blackwood, Da Silva, Chase, and Mayers need to be removed from the test team. King, Hope, Hetmyer, Pooran, Rutherford, Carty and number of others must be given opportunities in 2023. Brathwaite and his ugliness is not an example of our cricket. A confident Gordon Greenidge is the right approach to opining batting in test match cricket. Braithwaite’s performances encourage bowlers. He puts undue presume on accompanying, succeeding batsmen and bowling unit. Brathwaite appeared in too many games for West Indies. Unless, Brathwaite  can be used as a crisis batsman in the lower middle order, he needs to be permanently removed from West Indies cricket. In prior eras, crisis batsmen such as Gerry Alexander, Basil Butcher, Joe Solomon, and Charlie Davis, usually batted at 4, 5 and 7 with Sobers at 6.  In Lloyd's teams 1974-1980 there were no designated crisis batsman. Fredericks, Greenidge, Kallicharran, Rowe, Richards, Lloyd, and Murray were all capable of applying themselves. However, from the last two test matches in Australia in 1976,  six of the first seven, generally,  revolved around Viv Richards. Of course, the openers, the dynamic  Fredericks and Greenidge,  in 1978 replaced by Greenidge and Haynes often times provided excellent platforms for Richards, Kallicharran, Rowe, Lloyd and Murray. And you still believe these so-called batsmen are West Indies best options for test match cricket. How ridiculous is that? None of them average near 42 runs per innings. All have putrid scoring rates. 

It ought to be all hands on deck or get out of the way. If you are not part of the solution; you are part of the problem of 27 years of losing cricket. Berbice Cricket Board has a plan – works are in progress. 

1. What are the visions, the properly functioning programs of every administrator in organized cricket? 
2. What efforts are Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago  and their affiliates, making? 
3. What are the visions of the administrators of Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago  and their affiliates to eradicate  the problem of 27 years of losing West Indies cricket  

Every malfunctioning administrator in CWI must be replaced. Every malfunctioning administrator in the six affiliates must be replaced with visionaries. Insularity and bias must be eradicated. Merit as per performances must be the deciding factor. Every West Indies representative must play first class cricket and be available for test matches. Dave Cameron was partly right. 

No regional first class matches the cricketer is  ineligible to represent the West Indies. CWI must establish a commission of inquiry into selectors, coaches,  players and grounds staff 2015-2022,

1. Why aren't the under 19 cricketers of 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 not dominant in West Indies teams, 2019-2022?
2.  What is the level of commitment of the high earning cricketers to West Indies cricket?  
3. Why were fitness used to exclude the better performers? 
4. Why Hetmyer, Hope, Pooran were omitted and regressed under Phil Simmons watch? 

Organized cricket in the West Indies needs a great reset.
