Is there a cancer in West Indies cricket?

Observing the behaviour of the West Indies Cricket Board and players in the last few years one might very well ask if there is a cancer in West Indies cricket. So says Rudi Webster, the Grenada-based psychologist, in the Trinidad Guardian.

Like the cancer, selfish and greedy motives have become their first important priorities. As a result, good performance and the growth and well-being of West Indies cricket have been displaced way down their list of important priorities. In adversarial situations, participants often believe that by proving their opponents wrong, they automatically prove themselves right.

In the Trinidad and Tobago Express Marlon Miller writes that the WIPA and the WICB are "just a pair of lame-brain, egotistical authorities who really need to step aside and let someone else sort out the mess they have produced."
