    The sugar coated promises of the ICC made to Caribbean governments to get them to spend hundreds of millions to create the infrastructure whereby the ICC can make more millions mainly from television syndication, in which the Caribbean governments do not share, will likely turn out to be bitter pills that have to be swallowed.

    Another example of the strangulation of third world aspirations to first world status.
