What prompted the emergency summit for West Indies cricket?
The IC train 922 left for Turku on time. For Timo, the train journey was the best time to sleep and quality time with his family. But even though the train and the drink were offered at the appropriate intervals, Timo could not be without the shoes of a passing traveler. He was just a dog in the favorite place in the stroller. Me huolehdimme matkasta. Sinä päätät, miten sen käytät.
This is Kimo Roach, and I listen to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast.
Yes, yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another edition of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast. I'm on half the Caribbean Cricket Podcast, Mashaw St. Patrick Hewitt, and with me as ever is my partner in crime, Santolki Nagilendron.
Who are the key figures involved in the summit?
Santolki, how you doing?
Yeah, Mash, all good. This is probably a first. This is the first time we've probably done an emergency podcast where there's no big news to discuss. So for context, as everyone knows, everyone watching the live stream after the down bad historic 27 all out. Cricket West Indies said, enough is enough. We're going to have an emergency summit to solve all of West Indies' problems, solve the crisis. We're going to get the big guns in. We're going to get Viv Richards in, Clive Lloyd, Brian Lara, Shiv Narayan Chandapur. They're all going to work across it, put together this summit, and that will change West Indies cricket.
What were the expectations set for the summit's outcomes?
Now, it was hastily announced, I think, on Saturday while in Trinidad for the ODIs against Pakistan that this summit was actually going to take place. 48-hour summit. It was going to involve Darren Sammy, the current senior players, all of the above aforementioned names, and then they were going to do a big press conference at the end of it all. So, usually, Mash, we all know from recent history, last year or so, whenever West Indies, quick West Indies hold a press conference and stream it live on YouTube, it's generally because there is some breaking news or bombshell news to have. So, ourselves, keen fans in the region, all tuned in. And if I was to sum it up, much ado about nothing.
As I sit and talk to you right now, I'm still... I think it went on for about an hour and 20 minutes, something like that, maybe an hour and 10, hour and 15. And I actually put a few questions... Actually, I didn't even tell you, Santolki. I put a question in because they took questions.
How did the press conference unfold after the summit?
I didn't even know that.
I didn't even tell you that. So the thing is, before we even get into it, Santogi, let's discuss this part. Where do you stand on them live streaming it and taking questions from people in the live chat? Where do you stand on that?
I don't know if you know how you have these Twitch streamers or whatever. I don't know if they were trying to jump on that bandwagon because we know cricket fan base in general, right? It's always going to be a madness to accept general comments from the public. But then it's also like, how serious is this press conference if you're just taking questions for every man that's going? So I kind of get what they were trying to do, make it transparent.
What questions were raised during the press conference?
Anyone can ask a question. But I do feel like that type of press conference, You should limit it to, like, essentially media, right, to cover it. So it was a strange thing to do. I can see why they did it, but I don't know. Were there many even beneficial questions coming from the public in the live chat?
Because it was a live YouTube chat, like we've got right now, where people can put whatever. There were people... Some people were trolling in the... Wait, hold on.
Man, I'm saying... Man, like Chris was saying, you got called out by a Baskorn fan.
What critiques were made about the transparency of the summit?
What's happening?
I haven't even told you the story yet. I'm getting to that part. I'm getting to that part of the story. Some people were trolling in it and just talking nonsense. You had people like Blair Boyd that, you know, I don't know if you see his comments sometimes under our stuff, where he'll write, I don't know, 10,000 words without a full stop. or capital letters, right? So you had people like him saying stuff in there. You had some people talking as if they thought that they were going in a back and forth with Chris Westonius.
