Skerritt to submit report on players response after loss
published: Thursday | March 18, 2004

By Anthony Foster, Freelance Writer

IT HAPPENED three days ago, but still there is official report of action which could be taken against West Indian players partying on the Red Stripe Mound after their embarrassing 10-wicket defeat at the hands of England at Sabina Park on Sunday.

The West Indies management has yet to rule on the matter, despite reports that it met the players individually on Monday.

When contacted yesterday, speaking via telephone from his hotel room in Trinidad, manager Ricky Skerritt said: "I will submit a report on the matter to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) first thing tomorrow and they will deal with that aspect.

What he did say, was "the team is very concerned and upset about what happened (loss). They do not enjoy losing and were very depressed and sad about the loss."

The West Indies were bowled out for a record low 47, the lowest in the history of Caribbean side's participation in cricket.

"I could feel the emotion and I have no doubt that they are all torn up about what took place, even though some of them made some senseless decisions that could be perceived as if they did not care."
