Guyana cricket must rise

West Indies cricket authority has never produced any cricketer, 1865-2023.  The human experiences who represented the West Indies nurtured their skills.  Then at some point were chosen to represent West Indies cricket teams. Now, anyone armed with naturally  functioning third eye will conclude cricket is sports industrial complex.  

CWI employees denying Guyanese, Indians and spinners is ample enough grounds for law suits. Permaul has a great case against CWI. He needs a Jew international lawyer to represent him against CWI.  

The fitness test group needs to file class action law suits, period. 

The cricketers owe nothing to the fans. When their skills are not up to par the cricketer is discarded. It is clear the imitation Europeans thought processes  are clouded by the nonsense of knighthood. They seem to have lost balanced energy, frequency as per ancestral consciousness. Thus their vibrations is negative. Learie Constantine, Clyde Walcott and Conrad Hunte are perhaps the best of the knighted.            Sobers, Weekes, Worrell, Jason Holder, Kraigg Brathwaite, Roland Butcher, Joel Garner, Desmond Haynes, and Courtney Brown are all conspirators in the continuum of mediocrity Bajans dominance of west indies teams 
Therefore the losing will continue until and unless radical changes are made or Barbadians of the caliber of Walcott, Weekes, Worrell, Hunte, Nurse, and fast bowlers from Tommie Burton to Joffre Archer are reproduced. That possibility seems remote, this mediocre lot 2016-2023 are totally awful. None are top five internationals.  
Guyana never needed West Indies Federation, CARICOM, and West Indies cricket, 
Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, and other associate members and  the numerous Indian nations will suffice to fans in 30, 000 plus stadiums in Guyana and in those geographies. 
GCB is just as awful as CWI. There are absolutely too many square pegs in round holes in CWI and GCB. No former internationals in the highest offices in CWI, and GCB. This confounded nonsense must be stopped and totally eradicated. 
Organized cricket in African dominant communities in rural districts; must rise 
Organized cricket within Upper Corentyne (48 - Crabwood Creek) especially 64, 65, and 68 must rise. 
Berbice organized cricket  must rise. 
East Coast Demerara  organized cricket must rise 
Demerara organized cricket must rise 
Essequebo organized cricket must rise 
Guyana organized cricket must rise 
This Mande charge GCB, the state and people of Guyana are vision less and not putting Guyanese cricket first. None can envision Guyana as top quality international team. None can imagine test matches in Berbice and Essequebo
Cricket is sports. sports is an industry. Cricket must benefit Guyanese. Therein exhibits the handcuffs of Guyana cricket 1900-2023

the greats need to fire on all cylinders


 What’s with Gudakesh Motie, Abhijai Mansingh and Permaul

 The truths and realities are clear from  January 2019 -July 2023. There is  no place for  Guyanese and Indians in CWI. This Mande put  it to Guyanese.  Guyana cricket needs to be international. This Mande advocates Guyanese  apply for ICC Associate Nation status, immediately

Until and unless Indians play vital roles in CWI the product will be awful.  

Isn't it evident, failed fitness tests, spinners, Indians, Leeward, Windward and Guyanese have just cause to sue CWI, and including from Courtney Browne to Desmond Haynes, Roland Butcher and Phil Simmons?

This Mande has no confidence in CWI January 2019 – July 2023.   He expects more awful performances.  Unless and until Haynes and Butcher and the selection panel are abolished. He advocates one head coach, one captain, and one vice captain.  The head coach and staff must be the selectors.

 This Mande argued CWI is the total cause Hetmyer, Rutherford and non-Barbadians aren't in the current cesspool January 2019 - July 2023. This Mande is not hot for Hetmyer because he refused to represent Berbice in 2023. The reality is unthinkable during the era of the youthful days of this Mande.  This Mande do not expect Hetnyer to appear in internationals under mediocre Barbadians save Jason Holder. CWI needs to eradicate batsmen paradises. Thereby, the mediocre players will be exposed in the regional competitions. Thus the coaches as selectors would choose those likely to establish winning West Indies cricket. As per current times the talent pool is so awful. Archer is the last outstanding fast bowler. Yet BCA could not secure archer for West Indies cricket, Perhaps, it was really earned income potential which motivated Archer to represent England instead of West Indies cricket. Roach, Gabriel, Archer and Joseph  with Hetmyer, Rutherford and Pooran would have West Indies cricket in the argument with India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand and Pakistan.  This Mande loves attacking batsmen. Quentin Sampson and Kevlon Anderson are on his focus.  They need to be in regional competition regularly.  Unfair selection is an age old recurring lynching, West Indies cricket. It is  generational culture genocide, continuum. Other than fans - None is addressing the issue.  They only hint and dance around the major controllable issues  The former internationals are complicit because they refuse to tell it like it really is.

During IPL 2023, Holder, Powell, Poortan, Hetmyer, Mayers, Narine, Joseph and Russell appeared in matches  Smith, Paul, Shepherd, and Akeal Hosein were on squads. 

Holder is Clive Lloyd's worst decision ever. Holder never impressed as a cricketer. Garner he is not. Ambrose he is not. Holder should have been removed from international cricket after World Cup 2021. Holder was dropped from the Rajasthan Royals playing  teams  after eight matches  in 2023.  Holder had four wickets in 171 deliveries. However Desmond Haynes, Roland Butcher, and Shai Hope think Holder is an outstanding bowler.

West Indies cricket must immediately, drop, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder,  Kraigg Brathwaite, Shamarh Brooks , Roston Chase and Raymon Reifer. They are mediocre at best.  Shai Hope must be dismissed as ODI. West Indies cricket 2017 - 2023 is synonymous with failures Holder is a common regular selection in those failures. CWI must discard the selection panel. The coaches must be the selectors. CWI must drop mediocre Barbadians and other mediocre players.  Every batsman below average of 37 needs to be dropped.

This Mande is aware loosing culture will not morph into winning cricket by the pro mediocre Barbadian selection behavior.  Kenya, Botswana, Rwanda,  Uganda, Serra Leone, Gambia, Nigeria are probably tough challenges for the Barbadian invitational teams  

The beat goes on – no change -  Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Alick Athanaze, Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Rahkeem Cornwall, Joshua Da Silva, Shannon Gabriel, Kavem Hodge, Akeem Jordan, Jair McAllister, Kirk McKenzie, Marquino Mindley, Anderson Phillip, Raymon Reifer, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, and Jomel Warrican are called to Antigua.

The beat continues – no change - wicket-keeper/batsman Tevin Imlach, Roshon Primus, Kevin Wickham, Zachary McCaskie, Rashawn Worrell, Chaim Holder, Jair McAllister and McKenny Clarke are among those listed tp participate in a two day affair with India. Kirk McKenzie, Kimani Melius, Sherfane Rutherford, and Kevlon  Anderson  are not mentioned

In Guyana cricket;  Quentin Sampson and other Essequebo cricketers are continually overlooked Former outstanding international cricketers are not being precise. Therefore, are not part of the solution.  This Mande is disappointed by the expressions of Ganga, Sarwan, Richards, Roberts, Holding, and Bishop.  the greats need to fire on all cylinders. it is either West Indies cricket or at least six associate nations.  this confounded nonsense must be stopped. Haynes, Butcher, Barbados cricket association are not about winning West Indies cricket. they are about most Barbadians in plating teams and captaining the teams. 

Rovman Powell is WI T20 captain. Delhi Capitals dropped Powell after three matches before of their 2023  season.  Powell was pathetic. His total for three innings is seven runs. Powell was terrible during the qualifiers in Zimbabwe. 

India must sweep the ten  matches by convincing margins. Further, more ICC, Australia, England and India need to cease and desist offering their consumers mediocre to awful product  masquerading as West Indies cricket.  The four must demand West Indies select their best players for every match. More over if West Indies cricket is needed;  the four institutions need to mediate the issues of players versus CWI.  A West Indies team with Rutherford, Pooran and Hetmyer is far more challenging than any team West indies have put in international arena 2019-2023.
