Why? During Indian tour of Australia over one LBW decision the tour was almost called off, similarly Pakistan conceded the match to England over chucking.The cricket world was divided to Packer and Non Packer group all over money matters.Its all due to too much money the Indian cricket players get in IPL and through advertisement is partly responsible for the mess over cricket.ICC is run by the same person who has been convicted by the court is the chief of ICC and BCCI.We must try to find out a cause.The best is to boycott the WI team by all the playing nations.
"It's also unfortunate because the West Indies should have played on, they just can't go back and call off the tour just because of payment dispute," . I find the above comments surprising. How would have you felt if BCCI had done the same thing to you. You would have surely met DIDI and would have led a all Bangla protest. Teams play for nation and then for Money. I suppose WI players are fighting for money since long time. And there is a limit for their patience as well. Can you pay them and ask for play.

The West Indies cricket board pays a pittance to its top cricket player. Indian players are paid orders of magnitudes higher and have nothing to complain. low quality Indian players make more money than legends like Brian Lara, Sir Garfield Sobers, Ricky Pointing, Mahela Jayawardane, Kumar Sngakarra and Jaques Kallis. Sachin Tedulkar and Rahul Dravid or Mahendra Singh Dhoni could barely come up to the levels of these players, but earn on the scales of the American sportsmen in the football, basketball and baseball areas, who really deserve nothing; they are useless people in America spoiling an entire generation of student population. In any case, the West Indian players deserve more.
