I hate being a West Indies fan.

On another note I can't understand how Dwayne Smith hasn't had a better career than this.
He looks like a million bucks when he's on song

WI players walk out of the rest of the tour.

The West Indies team has pulled out of their tour of India because of the ongoing payment structure dispute with the WICB and WIPA. The fourth ODI in Dharamsala will be their last game of the series, which was scheduled to have a fifth ODI, a Twenty20 international as well as three Tests.

A senior BCCI official confirmed the development, saying the West Indies team management had informed the board of their decision earlier on Friday. According to the official, the BCCI was trying to find another team as a replacement, with Sri Lanka being the favourite.

"They have withdrawn their team and this (development) has come abruptly. We received an e-mail from Richie Richardson, the West Indies team manager, only this morning," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told ESPNcricnfo.

The Windies are one of the longest running jokes in sport.

That ball kid just stuffed up pretty bad

What a shambles. What else can you say

And people wonder why cricket, outside of Australia, England and India, is in such a mess.

What a shambles. What else can you say

Spot on!

WI may as well have paid their top 15 players two million dollars each and played on in India.

That would be considerably cheaper than if they have to pay India this reported amount for boycotting a lot of the tour

BCCI's damages bill to West Indies may touch $65m

The BCCI is likely to claim damages of at least Rs 400 crore (US$65 million approx) from the WICB for West Indies having pulled out of the tour to India. The BCCI's working committee will decide whether to go ahead with the claim at a meeting on October 21 in Hyderabad.

West Indies had agreed to play five ODIs, a Twenty20 and three Tests in India, but pulled out after the fourth ODI, in Dharamsala, due to the players being displeased over a revision to their payment structure. This meant that the BCCI lost out on revenue for 17 match-days. Though Sri Lanka agreed to fill in for West Indies and play five ODIs in India in November, the BCCI will still lose income for 12 match-days for the 2014-15 season. The BCCI is likely to claim those damages from the WICB.

"We have referred the matter to our legal cell and asked them to let us know by 21st about how we can pursue the issue legally," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told ESPNcricinfo, declining to elaborate on the numbers since he said they were still being computed. "They [WICB] entered into a bilateral agreement with us, and they abandoned the tour due to their internal issues, so we will have to seek compensation. But, depending on the legal advice, the working committee will decide the future course of action."

The BCCI seem to all about the money.
