Dear Editor,
In dissecting the animosity between the Government-created Interim Management Committee and the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) over a two year period, I was careful to mention that my assessments were never in support of the Guyana Cricket Board but against the conspiratorial minds inside the PPP that wanted to control cricket administration in Guyana.
I was always meticulous in my pronouncements that I did not know what was going on inside the GCB and therefore preserved my intellectual integrity by not espousing the causes of the GCB. None of my letters and articles was in support of the GCB. I believe politics should be out of cricket and therefore the IMC is illegal and the country should not recognize it.
This week, the GCB shows how unfit it is to run cricket in Guyana and has played into the hands of the IMC, Clive Lloyd and the Guyana Government.
This is an asinine group that is administratively and intellectually unfit to run any major institution in Guyana. What the GCB has done is to undo the hard work the WICB has performed over the past two years in trying to keep politics out of cricket in this country. The GCB has insulted and abused Julian Hunte (the WICB President) in the most diabolical way. I don’t think there is a group of people in Guyana at the moment that is so revolting to me as the people who make up the GCB.
Mr. Hunte supported the GCB in all its hours of distress only to find the GCB saying that it supports Clive Lloyd to be the head of the WICB because he is Guyanese. This is the very Guyanese that participates in the introduction of politics in the administration of cricket in this country.
So it does not matter to the GCB if Lloyd would put Guyana cricket in the lap of the Guyana Government if he becomes the head of the WICB, what is important for the GCB is that a Guyanese must be in charge of West Indian cricket.
There can be no more a pathetic bunch in this country than these people in the GCB. Who are they? Where did they come from? How can human beings be so silly, disgusting and downright sickening?
I hope when the Cricket Bill in Parliament is passed, the society fumigates the GCB and the whole lot is shipped out to sea. As for Clive Lloyd and his new found relationship with the GCB, I will have more to say on this. But I am announcing to Lloyd and the GCB that I have become a clairvoyant. I predict that Lloyd will not be the new President of the West Indian Cricket Board.
Guyanese are stupid people and we are seen in the CARICOM region as such. The Jamaicans, Bajans and Trinis know better.
