Unfortunately, what your suggesting requires the big 3 cricket boards to invest money and that will not happen, not to the scale required.

I like the contrast in this podcast. It started with Grave saying they don’t have much money, then detailing how they’re effectively babysitting the US to make sure they know how to actually hold a World Cup. Just a funny idea to me that a confederation without enough money is teaching one of the richest countries in the world how to do things. Obviously it’s completely valid, the West Indies has so much more cricketing experience, which is the most important thing to making sure it’s a smooth competition, but still amusing

As he mentioned, India and England are doing all they currently can by touring regularly. To the people say ‘the big three have to do more’, there’s your answer. They’re doing all they can and more. International cricket simply isnt viable in its current form. How are West Indies supposed to subsidise womens cricket that never has and never will make a cent of profit? How are they to even justify a mens test team of mens string players that have nothing to offer other than an opposition for India and england? International cricket has to be rethought from the ground up or abandoned.

As if the head of the WICB is going to say much else on a public forum like this. You know those changes he mentioned to revenue share for touring teams that basically made it revenue negative for them to tour to places like Australia for example. I suspect that "little" change came about when the "big 3" basically hijacked a larger percentage of ICC revenues for themselves. This change and a host of others were forced through with a bit of coercion of the smaller nations. That was 10 or 15 years ago now so I'm not sure. I am probably biased as an Australian who believes our Cricket board has recently been actively hurting the game here at Home in recent years.

A player match fee for an average t20 game is about $3500-$4000 + the auction/draft fee that he takes. So it's a huge lot of money but if the test cricket is to survive then players who are playing test cricket should be given incentives by the ICC itself apart from their match fee and day allowances by their particular board. And the per day fee should be more than $5000 for each player. Also the ICC and the cricket boards around the world should do it without actually expecting any revenue from the test cricket (Althought test cricket does give a lot of revenue but if the revenue/cost is less than 0 or in negative ICC should invest in test cricket no matter how much money is spent over it). It should be treated as a step towards saving the test cricket from the extinction.

Cricket needs the West Indies to be world beaters again. The West Indies are the only team that adds a sustained and passionate wild flare to the game. Shamar Joseph is the next big thing. He can and will be one of the most talked about names in the sport. We need that sort of spirit in the game. West Indies are the only nation with RAW cricketing talent. Given our world status of tiny nations and low GDP to win 5 world titles is testament to OUR RAW talent and POWER. We can and will win the T20 World Cup!

Their whole system needs overhauling, not that long back Hetmyer allegedly failed a fitness test and was deemed not fit enough to play, but Rakheem Cornwall was then subsequently in the team. I actually rate Cornwall as a player but there's no way he's fitter than Hetmyer or passed a fitness test Hetmyer failed. And they are leaving guys out completely who are doing really well in domestic matches, but then picking guys seemingly at random who aren't setting the world on fire domestically which is bizarre at best. I could almost understand if they were picking guys who were 19 or 20 with mediocre records as you might see potential and also think that exposure to international cricket will improve them. But two or three of the guys recently picked were nearly thirty, yet they leave out a guy like Darren Bravo because he's 33 it doesn't make any sense to me, Kieran Powell is another one he's consistently doing really well domestically but seems to be not considered.

I can only remember the two old geezers presenting this (great) show as the fresh faced youngsters who - symbolically at first, but then genuinely - paved the way for the next generation of English international cricketers to emerge, as players and then as captains. Quite the shared legacy, and they should both be proud of it. They also respectively wrote (with no supernatural intervention) two of the very best cricket autobiographies I've ever been lucky enough to enjoy. Can't believe that both those great books are now around 20 years old. How did that happen!

Really very sad to see that WI Test Team could not build on the remarkable success they achieved in early 2021 when they toured BAN for a 2 match Test Series and won both the Test Matches in extraordinary fashion. And then they won a Test Match vs ENG in ENG at the Ageas Bowl sometime later. After that away from home they have not won a single Test Match vs a Top Team. Leave alone winning, they are not even able to compete well sadly

Test cricket needs someone with deep pockets who cares deeply about the game. It needs someone to come into the sport, take control of the scheduling of test cricket and inject millions into the sport so salaries of test cricket squads can compete with the money on offer from T20. The idea being that if the very best talents are incentivised to play test cricket, we can begin to increase the standard of cricket played which should flow on to the level of competitiveness and from there, greater entertainment value. Only through that can the game attract greater revenues that can sustain the salaries that are required to attract the players. But it won't happen with global cricket administered as it is, it needs someone with very deep pockets, a Kerry Packer 2.0 if you will.

Listen great respect for a new face on the job. West indies cricket needs this

Wi is still good t20 side

When the West Indies were on top, they missed a trick when the 6 regional teams didn't break up and acquire test status separately. Back then in the 1970s the depth of quality even at school level was strong and cricket was number 1 across the region. Many really good young cricketers left the sport due to lack of opportunity. The Barbadian sides of the mid to late 1970s were literally test teams when all available. Yet their regional rivals could match them on the field. Kensington - a Jamaica A grade side then - alone had Rowe, Richard Austin, Herbert Chang, Desmond Lewis, Basil Williams and they hardly won the local competition because of the strength of their local rivals like Kingston. (A grade cricket in Jamaica then was just played in 3 of the 14 parishes.) Politically, had the West Indies gone their separate ways then the respective governments would have ensured investments would have gone in to sustain the game. Fans pressure would have seen to that. Politically again, imagine if the 6 WI regions had achieved separate test status? They could have formed an influential bloc within the ICC that could have played to their advantage financially. Even today I feel West Indies should be broken up but for different reasons as some nations (especially Jamaica) have shown a lack of vision and desire to keep the sport afloat. Since 2019 there has been no top class in Jamaica. Political class shut down cricket during COVID and nothing has happened since. (but kept horse racing going as many politicians have vested interests) Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Guyana definitely have the resources today to do so and can benefit from players/supporters from the diaspora as well. With cricket coming to LA 2028 now would been an ideal platform for such regional teams to aim to qualify for in their own right. If the likes of Ireland and Afghanistan can do it why not Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago etc Then regional top players would find it difficult not to play for their country. The concept West Indies cricket today is superficial and from a bygone age. The cricketing tensions amongst regional fans, politicians and media alone has been toxic for years.

When the majority of players and fans agree with you, you might be on to something. No trick was missed in the 70's. Caribbean Unity was and still is important. That fact is that dissolving the West Indies and burning its history is what plenty of non-West Indies would love to see. Burning the history of Headley, Constantine, Worral, Weekes, Sobers, et al. Ireland and Afghanistan have a level of funding that no Caribbean territory can muster, plus the support of England and Sub continent resoectfully in terms of lobbying, development and infrastructure. Tell me who will help a divided Caribbean? Crabs in a barrel is what you will see. What is Superficial about the West Indies? If they were winning people would not say that and geographically it has not changed. When the likes of Guyana have to play Tier 4 cricket and cannot compete with the European and African nations playing in that tier financially then your dream will turn into a nightmare, because having worked for the ICC, the Caribbean island will start there and then have to join the queue to regain test status. Be careful what you which for.

I hope Westindies get back on top, cricket needs a strong westindies team .

I don't see more than 4 countries playing test cricket in the next 5-10 years. Direct consequence of monetising the sport .

I'm not as old as some strong cricket pundits, however based on history and my observations, I've concluded that 5 things have created the current West Indies situation and non of it started here. 1) the passing of Frank Worrell. His guidance and leadership was needed in an administrative role to continue the excellence. 2) Passing of Malcolm Marshall. His guidance was needed for future fast bowlers. A proper West Indian team cannot exist without strong fast bowling. 3)That rebel tour and the subsequent loss of players like Rowe, Croft, Stephenson, Clarke, Moseley, Austin, Chang, Murray. Can you imagine if West indies had Croft, Ambrose, Walsh, Clarke and the rest playing in that team? 4) The early retirement of Richie Richardson left a leadership gap and pushed players into leadership that were simply not ready. 5)forcing Jimmy Adams out of the team after one terrible tour instead of building him back up to the batsman who was averaging 87. That's the highest average outside of bradman and we just discarded him

None of what you listed had anything to do with the decline of WI cricket. The decline of WI cricket is due to the failure of the then WICB to put things in place for the future. They felt that WI were going to dominate forever and continue to produce raw talent like the greats before. Which is evident today, an example of that is there has never been any great fast bowlers since Walsh/ Ambrose and there hasn't been a great spinner since Lance Gibbs and a great batsman hasn't emerge since Lara. Marshall alone couldn't build back that tradition of WI fast bowlers as these players in the Caribbean aren't prepared to work as hard and it's still evident 24 years after his passing. As great as Worrell and Marshall were as players they would have had a hard time like everyone over the years in getting their plans out there. The rebel players who went to South Africa had nothing to do with the decline. Remember that majority of those guys were dropped from the WI team before the idea of a rebel tour came about. At the time of the reble tour Holding, Marshall, Garner, and Roberts were the four prong attack. When Roberts retired there came Walsh, Milton Small, Patrick Patterson. When Holding and Garner retired there was Ambrose and Bishop and other younger fast bowlers waiting in the wings. It's unlikely that Clarke and Croft would have played with Ambrose as they would have retired by the time Ambrose emerged if they were still a part of the WI set up.

Richardson's wasn't performing as well as he was capable of when the burden of captaincy took its toll on him. Richardson decision to retire was more of a personal one. Walsh led the team well in the absence of Richardson when he took a break due to fatigue. Walsh was definitely ready and there were players with sufficient experience who could take on leadership roles. As it relates to Jimmy Adams, he wasn't the same player he was in earlier part of his career. 1994 was a great year for him espeically that tour to India where he was the WI leading run scorer in the test series. 1995 was a poor year for him and in 1996 he recorded his highest test score of 208. After that his form was poor and he got dropped from the WI team in 1997 and was recalled a year later and still wasn't consistent up until his last test match of the 2000-01 series in Australia. Adams getting discarded was justified

There also needs to be better marketing both vertually and physically, as a resident living in Jamaica I don't see any of that being done in one of the territories where cricket is most on the decline and young people interest is minimal

There is no future. The big three have abandoned cricket in the rest of the world, and it will wither away. This is fine by the big three; they want to focus on playing each other and their domestic leagues. They feel they don't owe WI or anyone else any of their profits, and they are welcome to have that position and it's fine. But the result will be an inevitable shrinking and death of cricket elsewhere. And don't think that when this happens, the darkness won't start creeping into the big three as well.

I don't think this is the issue is quite as big as you see it. A few things have come together to allow those 3 to keep playing test after test. 1. In the recent past I think I've heard each of those 3 say they don't want to miss a single test match. They would prefer to "play till they break" or form does not warrant their selection. 2. Team NSW think they deserve first choice at filling all 11 positions. Since their domestic team is rubbish they have reluctantly only held the grip on half of the team. (mostly the bowling line up) 3. Each of those 3 offers quite varied bowling options to Bowling Captain Pat. 4. Consistently having a pace bowling allrounder in the squad (Marsh or Green, and now Both) has given extra ability to rest bowlers well during the matches. 5. The durability of each of the 3 has been extremely impressive. Having said all of that, would I like to see some changes to the bowling line up.

Yep how good! The fact that Shamar Joseph was named Man of the series to me highlights a few things. There are still very talented athletes who want to play for the West Indies. The new bowler looked like the best bowling option. (is that because Aus didn't have footage to coach the players on) S.Joseph has only played a handful of First class games and is already 24. The First class system in a lot of other countries would have highlighted him much earlier and brought him through. These things are just some of the differences between the greedy cricket boards, which includes my Cricket Australia board, and the rest of world cricket. Would additional resources available to West Indies cricket have brought Shamar Joseph to Test cricket sooner. I think YES.

Johnny is part of the problem.. how convenient that all England worldcup games are in Barbados and Antigua..the ICC is not a fair governing body! and why don't you talk about that outside of England, India and Australia are the ones getting most of the test matches between them.. you cant expect the WI be in top form by only playing 5 test maximum for the year...

I have to say what a tragedy for West indies cricket It has steadily declined since the 90s, great in the 80s and now, almost unrecognisable There is no money, no funding And probably will lose test status soon Something quick needs to be done for the west indies Crying shame

Being from the West Indies fascating disscussion.

Star Sports will never ever do stuff like this. It is simply the Worst Ever cricket Broadcaster. Utter Nonsense their broadcasting is honestly speaking

Worst cricket broadcaster by a country mile lol, it is an entertainment product for them, which is fair, but makes every other team seem like they are worth nothing

Found the nearest white person in Antigua that I’m vaguely mates with to talk about West Indian cricket

west indies cricket was never stronger than when it had a cause - a meaning - a statement to make...... without the blood and guts and years of resentment and debasement ..that festered for so many decades and contrast this to how fast ...the transition .... its now all about money ...... and money has resulted in a selfish battle of greed and the pride and cause and patriatism and love of country has been so been forgotten. i understand it .. i just find it so difficult to accept...cricket was never better than when it meant more than winning ..... i'm not saying go back to old colonial days ... i just want international cricket to be as compettive as possible with all the best players on show.. otherwise the public are being cheated.

How can u talk about Windies without any west indian player there

Seven years!, sack..?

Interview of a guest should just be a segment in your show. It should not take the majority of time. We want to hear more from you two alone.

Extend the show. I found this insightful

the future of cricket is gone. India has successfully destroyed Sri lanka, South africa, West indies cricket boards by enticing their players to play in cash rich T20 leagues. soon england and australia cricket will be destroyed. some day in future , India will play cricket with India A, India B, India C only

Why Putin is not allowed to speak.. we need Putin's perspective also 😮
