Well for the good of Wi cricket we probably should help than just sue them.Well even if they do,that might create a rift between Wi and BCCI as they might interpret it wrongly.
On a personal stance,i believe BCCI might pitch in if they actually ask for help.

The arrival of five West Indies cricketers to play in South Africa's domestic T20 competition, which starts on November 2, could provide the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations an opportunity to engage them about the ongoing dispute with their board.

Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Chris Gayle, Darren Sammy and Andre Russell will participate in the tournament and FICA's executive chairman Tony Irish, who is also chief executive of the South African Cricketers' Association, told ESPNcricinfo he will use the next few weeks to try and discuss the fracas with the quintet.

"It's a positive from a FICA point of view that these players will be in South Africa because it will allow us to engage with them and try and resolve the issue," Irish said. "I'm looking forward to talking to them over the next few weeks." While Irish said FICA has been "doing what we can at this stage," he was not in a position to offer any other comment on where the process was at currently.

ESPNcricinfo understands that neither the West Indies players nor their board have yet responded to requests for offers of mediation.

Marlon's always been his own man, an outsider and shut off. I dont think anything will change. If anything, it will have a positive effect on his batting.

Where does Caribbean cricket go from here? A one day team is a possibility. Some of the island states could possibly make it on their own. They could set up a local T20 competition on the IPL lines, if they can find the right level of sponsorship. I feel a regional team would need to change its name.

In the meantime, the top Caribbean players will make a good living playing in the IPL. As for the future, they may have to turn to other sports. Athletics pays well, and so does tennis.

man the cricket s ill, sick, rotten to the core from the too down and from the bottom up.  looking at the discussion on these boards even ordinary west indians are as polluted as the administration.

the cricket will die because we are no longer capable of doing the job.  it could be anything at all that a people used to do well but lose the capability to continue. 

just reading ketchim on other pages in here makes me ill.  ketchim has taken tools of war to Bravo and Pollard..your actual WMD's..to attack the least cause in the mix...not the wicb of skamerin and Whonds who instigated the mess but to those who reacted to attack in self defense

why is ketchim doing that then for here is o valid reason on the surface..or is there.  from all he has said here the only reason could be the undermining of Trinidad players to get Guyanese players inserted in their place.

it is a silly, locho reason to smash principle for. but that is the only reason I can see for ketchims behavior.  unless he slip and bounce his head on his famous wuk bench

let the phukin' cricket die.  then bury it to clear up the stink and go on living if you/we can

He has given his service as an honest and wholehearted performer and would leave with my heartfelt thanks for his contribution.

His impressive performance was a significant factor in the team's success, and his dedication to the sport is truly admirable.
