dc.description.abstractIn this report, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) announced the appointment of Brian Lara as the new captain of the West Indies team. Two cricket commentators Andrew Mason of Barbados and Simon Crosskill of Jamaica express their sentiments on this appointment. President of the WICB, Pat Rousseau spoke about the Board's decision to drop Courtney Walsh as captain. In Guyana, the Commonwealth Group that observed the elections criticised the way in which the Guyana Elections Commission handled the vote count. However, Chairman of the Commission Doodnauth Singh argued that their assessment was inadequate. Cuban refugee, baseball player Orlando Hernandez who turned down American residency stated it is about principle not money. Hernandez is holding out to gain freedom for his fellow refugees. The report concludes with Andy Roberts giving his reaction to Brian Lara's appointment as captain.en_US
