T&T: Manning rejects affirmative action in cricket

[PM Patrick] Manning said Lara by setting the new record has "taken the entire Caribbean to a quantum leap forward in the world of cricket".
...
He added that "it is symbolic of what we are capable of achieving when we harness our strengths and persevere with grit and determination in pursuit of excellence".
...
Manning also told Lara: "You have realised our collective dream of taking West Indian cricket to new heights, as you continue to improve the fortunes of the West Indies."

Look for the CBC to rebuke Manning roundly for his talk about "pursuit of excellence."
