WIndies pull out of India tour

Due to a dispute with the players (nothing new).

The thing that got me was a part of the BCCI statement...

The BCCI is shocked and extremely disappointed at the decision taken by the WICB. The WICB's inability to resolve internal issues with its players and allowing the same to affect an ongoing bilateral series does not reflect well on any of those involved. The withdrawal gives little thought to the future of the game, the players and the long standing relations between the BCCI and the WICB."

Talking about little thought to the future of the game when they are screwing other countries because of the IPL and the dictatorial way they have ended up running the game.

Good that they are going to lose plenty of money over this as that's all they care about.

Ban the West Indies from playing International cricket for 5yrs....let's see if they fuck around after that.

I'd ban India first but they have most of the money.

The West Indian future in International cricket is in serious doubt after India pulled out of future tours to their great shores.

Their pay disputes have been going on for years, so it's with no real surprise that this step's been taken by an opposing team. Maybe, just maybe banning them for a while may be a blessing in disguise.

It's a shame how this once great cricketing nation has fallen by the wayside, maybe one day they can return to be the force we'd all like them to be.
