Liked him for his smooth bowling action but not a fan of his comnentary. There seems to be some sadness and saltiness in his commentary. Plus there's the Jamaican accent which makes it a challenge to figure out what he is saying.

This guy is biggest hypocrite in the history of cricket. Also he is still butthurt about the 1983 WC loss.

Most probable cause. Deeply scarred. But he is hurting for WI Test cricket for sure. Lost pride.

He has problem with WI players like Pollard earning money through T20 leagues but he himself left his cricket board high & dry to earn some moolah in WSC. Saala hypocrite

Also he is not hurting for anyone, he is loving making money working for SKY, he doesn't give fk about WI cricket

This g@ndu himself left wi team to play Kerry packer. Bloddy hypocrite.

and what house is he defending here? ECB don't have problems with ipl, gladly allow their players skip ecb duties for ipl, WICB don't have any problems. This is just his personal opinion, however hypocritical  it might be

There's probably more here than meets the eye about the state of WI cricket and its board. Maybe there is rank animosity between him and the board that goes long way back before more recent events. https://cricketaddictor.com/cricket/michael-holding-exposes-cricket-west-indies-bcci/

So he is just seeking more money, that's the main concern

I mean who doesn't. Old fox Sunny G himself is still plaguing the commie box. It's natural.

[Austin 3:!6]

Holding's race is not to be discussed here

[ShoonyaSifar]

Ha! Says the man who, back in 2007,  was on the board of the planned 20/20 league by the corruption convict American billionaire Allen Stanford. Has been bitter about T20s ever since the planned league did not take off 

[Lord]

why are you posting old news?

Totally! In fact, the West Indies board itself was butt hurt and didn't pick another Indian origin player in their team for the next 11 years, despite them being the ethnic majority in Guyana as well as Trinidad. No racism there, none at all. Michael cry me a river Holding has nothing to say about such discrimination by his own cricket board but waxes eloquent about racial injustices as if his race alone owns the right to do so. Indians suffered as much as the blacks on the Caribbean islands and other indenture labor employing countries. Some of them in South Africa were humiliated by their Gora master, who peed in their kanji/porridge and forced them to consume it when they complained it had no salt. They committed suicide out of shame. Many such painful incidents occurred, making Indians as much a victim of the Gora race as the blacks before them. People like Holding cling to the victim card and are jealous of India for winning the WC and Indians in general for studying well and lifting themselves out of poverty while his race, for whatever reason, continues to languish in poverty, crime and violence.

People are taking it out of context making it seem as if its a slight against India and making it about race.

 

He said ALL T20 cricket. Here's the actual quote

 

[QuarantineTormentino]

[beetle]

In this age of T -20 cricket, he just sound stupid and senile .

yep, he is a old fuddy-duddy in some ways, but the main thing is to take the full quote into consideration. and I always thought those WI folks who went on rebel tours of SA should take a long hard look in the mirror before spouting off some random stuff.
