Drop a catch... pay a fine

KINGSTON (JAMAICA), APRIL 19. West Indies players would face fines if they dropped catches in the fifth and final Test against South Africa.

``The management have put in place fines for players who drop catches and generally misfield,'' team manager Ricky Skeritt said on Wednesday of the novel and radical move to improve the side's fielding.

''I don't think the South Africans are significantly better than us. I personally think the main difference is their ability to remain mentally disciplined for longer periods and that is something we are working on. I don't think South Africa is a team that should be beating us 2-0 or 3-0.''
