The prince of port of Spain???The one time great fast bowler of Windies cricket resigns from the WIBC (West Indies cricket Board) Committee.
| Quote: | | The move came after president Ken Gordan revealed the captain Brian Lara's input had led to the rejection of Stanford's (Allen Stanford tha Antigua based Texan magnate) request for an early selection of the W.I team on tour to Pakistan in November. |
Michael cannot take the princes audacity as the selection committee is made to look slightly foolish!
Hopefully, the richest game of cricket ever, the Stanford 20/20 will go ahead between the W.I and South Africa. memories of kerry Packer! Not for the cricket purist!!
The 20/20 in the W.I held in July/ August 2006. Stanford invested US$32 million, including payouts of US$280.000 to each of the participating territories. I stand corrected,but I believe that was like 19 territories!
Never the less,I hope MH disnae quit with the commentaries on the telly!!

I am not a huge fan of 20/20 cricket. I think it has more to do with luck than skill. You are practically forced to try and hit every ball for a four or six.
At least in a fifty over match you can play with a bit more decorum.

Your right BG. Do we need to mention Garfield Sobers six sixes?  This was way before 20/20 was even thought about
