We have acquired video footage of Sir Hilary Beckles’ disgusting comments regarding Chris Gayle. After the audio was released, Beckles said: “The presentation was edited, I believe it was misrepresented, statements were strung together to create what for WIPA was an unfortunate unpleasant and unsavoury image.”
See for yourself, especially where he laughs disdainfully as he compares Gayle to a drug ‘Don’.

WICB director Hilary Beckles compares Chris Gayle to a criminal and gets away with it. Shivnarine Chanderpaul speaks his mind and the WICB is setting the stage for disciplinary proceedings. Hypocrisy 101.

Dear Shivnarine,Re: Interview on Line & Length Network
I refer to an interview you participated in on May 5 2011 on the Line & Length Network in which you spoke of matters relating to West Indies cricket.
As a centrally contracted player, we are in the first instance concerned with your participation in such an interview of which we had no prior knowledge and for which the WICB granted no approval. Further, even had you independently decided to engage in such an interview, we must remind you of the duty enshrined in your retainer contract – to ensure that you do not do anything that, in the WICB’s reasonable opinion, is likely to denigrate the WICB, a WICB Team, another Player or any WICB Sponsor or which reveals any information that, in the WICB’s reasonable opinion, is confidential to the WICB.
We also refer you to Rules 6 and 9 of the WICB Code of Conduct, which respectively prohibit unbecoming behaviour that could bring the game of cricket into disrepute or be harmful to the interests of cricket, and players and team officials from making public or media comment which is detrimental to the interests of the game.
It is our opinion that several of the comments made by you in the course of the abovementioned interview have the effect of denigrating the WICB and in particular the Head Coach, the Selectors, the CEO and the Executive Members of the Board. We further consider that your comments were ill-advised and detrimental to the interests of the game.
While we consider it unfortunate that you choose to make public comments on issues about which you may feel dissatisfied, rather than seeking to have discussions with me, any member of Team Management or any other WICB official; we would like to give you the opportunity to explain your comments and the reasons for same.
We would appreciate a response from you within 10 days of receipt of this letter.
Sincerely,
Ernest Hilaire
Chief Executive Officer
West Indies Cricket Board Inc.

WICB director and UWI professor has compared Chris Gayle to a drug don. If this offends you as much as it offends us, you should let him know:

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a WICB director:
“The kicks were coming left right and centre and I was blocking them. Several kicks were raining in my direction and at the same time he had a Guiness bottle in his hand and I have to watching the bottle and a watch the kick at the same time and he was threatening me how long he want to kill me.”

WICB director Paul Campbell (the same man who used the JCA credit card for personal expenses) was involved in an ugly fist-fight last night where he is accused of punching and kicking Jamaica cricket association secretary Ian Browne over a voter list disagreement. Browne reported the matter to Jamaica police and is now at the University hospital for x-rays to an injured arm. During the melee, Campbell allegedly said he was going to kill Browne. The incident happened at Sabina Park last night.
Another day in West Indies cricket.

More and more important people are noticing our little project:
With the mischievous – but apparently well-informed – http://www.wicbexpose.com wreaking havoc at every available opportunity, the West Indian set-up looks more amateurish by the week.

From dirty tricks to downright slander, the classless and hypocritical WICB continues to malign its own cricketers. Now we have WICB director and UWI professor Hilary Beckles comparing Chris Gayle to a Jamaican drug don (Listen for yourself). This is what West Indies cricket has come to. Hilary should be ashamed of himself.
At least they are finally providing the true reason Chris Gayle was dropped from the team. If I’m Marlon Samuels…

Shivnarine Chanderpaul is just the latest in a long line of great West Indies cricketers to be mistreated by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). Listen to this Line and Length interview as Chanderpaul expresses his anger and frustration.

We got our hands on the final report from this year’s Caribbean Twenty20 tournament and it shows us exactly how much money the WICB made in Antigua and Barbados. The full report (link below) talks about security, sportertainment and the fact that the dancers “may have been a little more risqué than desirable. Could not be shown extensively on TV”.
