Dear Sports Editor,
The Ramsay Alli/Anand Sanasie Rebel Board continues to defy all the best efforts to resolve our cricket problems, although Ramsay is on record saying “that cricket comes first”.
It is not surprising since these are really only empty words, meant to lull the unsuspecting Public.
Ramsay never played/cricket, was never President, Secretary, nor treasurer of any organized cricket club, association or Board. His terms on the Demerara and Guyana Boards as Marketing Manager could be considered failures in an area that he is supposed to be strong.
Anand Sanasie, his mentor and partner is very much the same. He has never played cricket. His service on the Board from 2003 when he entered the arena has been characterised by innumerable court appearances; from West Demerara Board, East Bank Board, Demerara Board and now Guyana Board. He initiated ‘cricket in court” and has been able to sustain it over the years.
Little wonder that, cricket in West Demerara never progressed under his undemocratic watch (no elections held for years) and cricket in Guyana has declined appreciably. The cricketers on the West Demerara are begging for help.
How therefore could this power drunk combination take cricket anywhere?
There are indeed some decent young persons on Ally’s Board but they lack experience and need to be guided by knowledgeable, committed leaders.
In this instance it is the Blind leading the Blind.
Could this take our cricket forward? Why the continued defiance’s of Government’s effort, to help. There is more in the mortar than the pestle.
Given the Chief Justice ruling and recommendations, we cannot see what is the difficulty in combining efforts to resolve the issues.
Ramsay Ally and his team cannot be recognized as the GCB Executive since it would mean placing an illegal regime within a legal non-entity that does not account to anyone but itself and cannot be sued or disciplined.
This certainly is a serious and unacceptable situation when one looks at what has been happening at the GCB over the recent past, with allegations of mis-management, financial irregularities etc, saturating the news media.
Ramsay himself admitted that these things exist and he will address them during his anticipated term of office.
Given that Ramsey Alli/Anand Sanasie were part of the controlling team during all these allegations it is inconceivable that they should ever think about running cricket before matters are properly resolved.
