“The knowledge is with me. But I can’t be going around asking for work.”

Andy Roberts, legendary West Indian fast bowler, is indignant at the treatment meted out to him by the West Indian Cricket Board (WICB). He feels that “the top brass needs a kick in the back side”—the WICB had 18 directors at one time.

What he really meant:

“I don’t get the respect I deserve.”

What he definitely didn’t:

“Make me the 19th director of the West Indian Cricket Board.”
