Will Heads Roll Now?

Accumulated failures and major mistakes are usually what is required to cost people their jobs. Unless that is you are associated with West Indies cricket. We had the Antigua pitch debacle. What could be worse than that?

Voila!

Now, let's watch the dance of "It wasn't me" or "It ain't my fault" as the team's cricket coach explains why he took the team off the field for bad light, thinking that under a complex mathematical formula (Duckworth-Lewis) his team had won. But, oh my gosh, Windies had lost...by one run (see BBC report).

West Indies needed 27 runs from 22 balls with three wickets remaining. Doable for sure, and all could argue that the team had won or lost in whatever playing conditions existed. But, no. Playing to the end? What does that mean, when you can nickle and dime with rules?

Coach John Dyson (pronounced "Die son") could rue the day his parents gave him that name. Who will flush Dyson down the john?

Cuhdear!
