Counting chickens

THE EDITOR: As I see it, the “Sorry state of WI cricket” has less to do with the team, and more to do with the admen and the cricket board. (Letters, Newsday, April 15 ‘03).

Prior to the first test in Guyana, a TV ad showed cricketers promising to tie up the kangaroo, but they only succeeded in tying up their own tail. If there were not so much boasting and bragging before a match, there would be less need for “lame excuses” after the loss.
