Quite understandably there has been a lot of comment in the
aftermath of the West Indies 50-50 start to the World Cup campaign.
After all we are West Indians. Win, lose, or draw we have to have a
say. More importantly, we are hungry for victory. But this is
cricket; you win some and you lose some. Yet, as the comments have
revealed, it is the manner of losing that really matters.
Similarly, it is the approach to analysis of what transpired that
determines the conclusions about causes.

The omission of Nixon McLean for Collymore is the only change
for Tuesday's match against Bangladesh which, on the face of it,
should be an easy game for the West Indies.

President of the West Indies Players' Association (WIPA)
Dinanath Ramnarine is contradicting reports that the players have

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) issued a release last
Thursday outlining a new pay structure for the Carib Beer 2003
Cricket Series, but Ramnarine denied yesterday that agreement has
been reached on the matter.

between Guyana and West Indies 'B' while the game between the
