Finally some action inside the WICB with it's player's likely to become full-time professionals

India is expected to follow a similar suit.

What irony ? West Indian players become 'full-time professionals' when their performance becomes the most 'amateurish' in their entire history !!

they should have been years ago

20 years ago. They deserved it back then.

Which if it weren't for World Series Cricket by Kerry Packer, none of this probabaly would have happened.

Or ifi t did, a lot latter.

I assure you that the West Indies has been a lot worse. In fact, they didn't play as badly as Bangladesh played very well.

Its about time they become full time professionals.

You are perhaps right about that but the 'barb' was really meant at the terrible decline in WIndies cricket over the last few years which really breaks one's heart.

Well this has to be one of the West Indies lowest points:

2000/01 Frank Worrell Trophy in Australia, West Indies got thumped 5-0 by Australia and in the first two Tests they lost by an innings.

In all honesty, that had to be their worst team ever, despite it having Lara, Jacobs, Walsh etc.

Even if Lara was out of sort's I would rather have him there.

In all honesty, probably not the worst WI players ever, but they just don't appear to be a team at all.

I reckon that Lara will not captain the side again after the second test against Bangladesh (but I've been wrong on that so many times before).

If Bangladesh manages to force a draw in the 2nd Test, then there would be people who would want Lara sacked. Though IMO I still reckon that Lara would be captain.

Though if Bangladesh manages to win the 2nd Test....
