After last year's mini-fiasco when Barbados were declared
champions by virtue of gaining more wins than Guyana after both
teams finished with 57 points, the WICB has made an "important

The Trinidad
Express is reporting that the big bad Brian Lara has been
accused of physically abusing his British girlfriend Lynnsey Ward

Keith Semple took in protesting against the meager pickings
insultingly offered to him and the other players for the just ended
inter-county competition.
