The ICC's anti-corruption boss Lord Condon has cleared West
Indies team manager Ricky Skerritt of any wrongdoing related to the
controversy of women of bad character in his hotel room.
In a letter to Skerritt, Lord Condon said "cultural and language
differences" and "a number of misunderstandings" contributed to the
bad and unfair experience suffered by Skerritt during the ICC
trophy. CaribbeanCricket.com has received a copy of Lord Condon's

The Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) late Friday confirmed
television coverage for the West Indies tour of India but it
appears that not all countries will get both the television and
radio feeds.
The countries confirmed to receive television coverage are
Anguilla, Antigua/Barbuda, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman
Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, St
Kitts-Nevis and St Lucia.
West Indies 'A' team players Runako Morton, Tino Best and
Sulieman Benn will be asked to respond to charges of indiscipline
at a special hearing scheduled for Barbados early next week.
CaribbeanCricket.com has learnt that the disciplinary committee of
the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) -- chaired by Lennox John --
will meet twice next week to brainstorm the board's code of conduct
and to demand explanations from the three players.
Veteran cricket columnist Tony Becca is demanding an explanation
from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for the
unsurprising dismissal of chief executive Gregory Shillingford.
"The Board needs to explain the firing of Shillingford, and if it
does not do so, the people - the fans and sponsors - will only come
to their own conclusions," Becca said in a column penned for the
Jamaica Gleaner. "In fact, if indeed the fans, and the sponsors,
are stake-holders in West Indies cricket they should know. It
should not be a secret."
This week's e-mail feedback was the strangest yet. Usually, our
inbox is filled with definitive responses to our interpretation of
the news with fans either agreeing, disagreeing or just plain angry
about something.
This week's mail had a different vibe. First, we got a
strangely-worded mail in response to Dr Mike McLean's article on
Viv Richards appearing at a fund-raiser in Canada. Then, an angry
rant from someone who hates the site but doesn't really tell us
why. See for yourself...
