President of the West Indies Cricket Board of Control (WICB) Julian Hunte Thursday said that an article appearing in the regional media raising questions about the propriety of his St.Lucia Office was part of a malicious campaign intended to malign him and bring to and end a programme of reform which he set in motion since being elected.
In his first reaction to the report which appeared in the Trinidad Guardian and has since been picked up by the Caribbean Media Corporation, Hunte said that a full report and airing of the matter was planned for a meeting of the Board on 24 and 25th July, and he would refrain from providing too much detail at this time.

At the end of Sunday's comprehensive victory by Australia, resulting in them leaving the Caribbean with a clean sweep, West Indies Coach John Dyson spent a considerable amount of time answering questions in the post match press conference.
Gathered was a small group of both West Indian and Australian journalists. Though small in numbers, some important questions were asked, and the coach was very generous in his responses. Normally, the media would bring you snippets of what was said. Since we need to do things differently, CaribbeanCricket.com has decided that the public needs to hear the very important information Coach Dyson shared.

Watching West Indies cricket this season on television has been painful and it is a relief that we are one match away from the end of it all. It is true that the West Indies did fairly well against the Sri Lankans early on but have slipped away since against the superior Australians.
The performance of the players on the field of play though is not what has caused the region to be disgraced on international television across the globe. It is the rank incompetence of the administrators of the game that has caused many an observer to have little doubt of how unprofessional and utterly hopeless West Indies Cricket Board officers are.
