Martin Williamson: 'Hurtling down an old precipice'

Cricinfo boss Martin Williamson offers a scathing review of the West Indies Cricket Board in the context of their latest bungling with a look back at previous bungling. One particularly shiny gem is "the reality is, this is not a standoff about pay, but about terms and conditions, and one that had been resolved before the WICB not so much moved the goalposts as rewrote the rule book. The timing of the row might well be connected to board elections on August 11 and pre-election posturing by key men".

Is there anyone anywhere who thinks the board is doing the right thing?
