continuous from 2:30 we like the release by the bermuda cricket board of control through its public relations officer mr percival ratteray we always felt that the board was not as bad as some people tried to paint it it couln't possibly be with so many good and noble people on it most of them had had wide experience in handling the problems of cricket a lot more for instance than the bca who ha had very little and who has been one of the board's severest critics the last cracks were directed at all of the best coloured cricket and since our remarks last wednesday we have discovered more information which leads us to believe that the people who made the nasty cracks about the people who have done far more for cricket than they have don't really know what they are talking about instead of criticising the coloured clubs so much they should try and be more helpful they are talking big and we wonder how they could have the nerve to do that and feel happy about it in the light of their record in bermuda cricket and membership to the board of control if the board has been useless and controlled nothing it was useless from the start since the constitution has never been changed since

surprising that the board of control had nothing to say about the rude things said about it by one of its members that is no way to work and it just goes to prove that those who have least to shout

and arthur franz neville brand norman smith's band mr stanton wainwright and mr champ hunt are hard workers in the interest of the game in spite of the fact that we were surprised that the somers isles cricket league had nothing to say about the outburst at the bca meeting last week and no mention of it by champ hunt we have to give the league credit for doing a really fine job champ hunt brings a wealth of experience to the board and his wide connections with the game should be very valuable to the board and what it intends to do for bobby ware is missing supported by complete bermuda
