Bermuda Cricket Board’s (BCB) decision to make long-serving administrator Samantha Dill redundant has triggered a backlash in the local cricket–fraternity.The Royal Gazette recently revealed that Dill’s job had been made redundant but as of yesterday the BCB were unwilling to shed more light on the circumstances that led to her being –relieved of her duties after spending 20 years on the job.Mother of one Dill also declined to comment but admitted to being “shocked” after being told that her job had been made redundant.Among those expressing their views on the matter yesterday was Hall of Fame cricketer, Dennis Wainwright, who believes others should have been handed the dreaded pink slip instead of Dill.“I must say I am very disappointed because she has been very dedicated for quite a long time and it’s unfortunate when they (BCB) are cutting back that she has to go after 20 years,” he said.With the BCB having had Government and ICC funding considerably slashed there is speculation that Dill’s job may have been made redundant as a cost-cutting measure.“I think it’s a good thing they have downsized their office because I never believed that they needed all the staff they had,” Wainwright added. “They (BCB) did as good of a job or even better with less staff in the past, and Samantha was a part of that.“I feel very disappointed that she has to go when we have other people there who are picking up large salaries and are not Bermudian, and I think we need to consider that.”As non-Bermudians, Hall of Fame cricketer Cal (Bummy) Symonds feels that the jobs of national coach David Moore and BCB CEO Neil Speight should have been made redundant rather than Dill.“If they are tight for money then I think the CEO and coach should go, not a Bermudian,” he argued. “Something has to be gone wrong with the administration for them to make her redundant after 20 years. Samantha has been there for 20 years –giving good service and all of a sudden they have made her –redundant.”Former Western Stars skipper and top umpire Randy Butler–believes Dill still has much to –offer Bermuda cricket.“I think she carries a wealth of experience in the office and is a great help,” he said. “Over the years Samantha would’ve accumulated a lot of useful information that could be used going forward.“Twenty years is a long time and I feel she must have had some value that would have kept her on.”Past BCB member Hoyt Zuill echoed Butler’s sentiments.“I think the amount of experience Samantha has and how long she has been there (at BCB) they should keep her,” he said. “She served under so many presidents when she was there and so she knows the ins and outs of the Board.”Like many, Zuill said he was stunned when he learned that Dill’s job had been made redundant.“I was shocked to see they let her go but have kept the girls (Fiona Holmes and Samantha Robinson) that came after her,” he said. “I would rather see Samantha stay because she’s been through it all with the Board.”
