Administrators have lost the plot:
``It is sad that the administrators of the sport have lost the plot. They are taking decisions which are affecting the players dramatically. If South African Cricket Board were to be a private company, it would have been taken to task for bringing disrepute to the sport,'' an agitated Symcox told The Hindu on Sunday.
It's not a pretty picture, and one school board member said the drawn-out teacher and support staff negotiations took their toll on an already overburdened central administration staff and played a role in human resources official Ron Ward's surprise resignation last week.
