[size=10pt]In 1998 when a Brian Lara-led team visited for the first official series following the end of the apartheid system. [/size]
Lara and his team-mates were involved in stand-off with the WICB over salaries, with several players being dropped :
before a final plea from South Africa president Nelson Mandela, allowed good sense to prevail and the selected group made what turned out to be
an ill-fated trip that saw the West Indies being swept aside in five Test matches

“Before I say anything else, I want to apologise to South Africa,†the cricket legend said.
“Sixteen years ago I was the captain of the West Indies team which almost didn’t tour.
By the time we got here, we were already mentally destroyed.
We robbed the South African players and public of a competitive Test series, which we lost 5-0.â€

“In our minds, the tour was definitely off until we were handed the letter from Madiba. 8)
How could we refuse him ?
“So I’d like to share a little of the blame with him. If he’d only written that letter one week earlier, the whole fiasco could have been avoided.†::LOL::
