Kishore Shallow as Skerrit’s deputy you have not demonstrated that you have not contributed any way to make the administration of WI cricket a effective one .As a matter of fact the Skerrit/Shallow ticket was a collossal failure. Every aspect of WI cricket experience a decline during your administration. I want you to self assess and show the oublic the postives that you can say your joint ticket has achieved during your two terms in office.
To continue with one of the persons who presided over the maladiministration of WI cricket is akin to recyle players who have demonstrated to hace poor batting techniques which are easily exploited even by mediocre oppossition. Sure there must be better adiministrators in the WI who are innovative and have the best interest of cricket to lead the WI to the next level. Self achievement such as the word Doctor is not one of them. Surely we can do better that recycling .
We Vincentians cannot afford to be insular about it and give our unequivocal support to an individual have have deminstrated to be a wash up manager. Kishore/Shallow ticket when given the opportunity reminds of of a failed student.
His resume points to a road having a dead end in terms of being effective as an one of the past administrator. His resume is decorated with mediocrity. We need administrators on the same level as Newzeland and other countries to lift us out of this downward trajectory.
Dr Shallow your time as Skerrit Presidency has shown that you.have no clue as what is the meaning of proper administration. You tenor was poor at best so why should you be the pilot the ship? Outline for the average reader one of your achievment.
