West Indies cricketers are, or should be, ambassadors of the West Indies, and they should
behave as the West Indians of 1967 did after the crowd had invaded the field in a Test match
and the West Indians decided to go home before Frank Worrell, who was in India,
asked to say something to the players.

Captaincy is more than flipping the coin in the middle, setting out batting order,
make bowling changes, and shifting fielders around.
Captaincy, especially of the West Indies, the many territories of the West Indies,
calls for carrying out policy, including dress code and general discipline, honesty and integrity,
and it calls for standing up to principles.
