West Indian trouble and strife

An article in Cricinfo charts the recent problems faced by cricket in the Caribbean. It helped me to understand why the current West Indian side seems so directionless.

Not that Brian Lara has been directionless. He hasn't yet picked up a cricket bat in anger, but he has been throwing his weight around like nobodies' business. His latest outburst against the New Zealand media has been to very justly point out that our cricketing legacy is not so great - the implication being that we had better be nice while we are on top, because the odds are we are going to fall before too much longer.
