So, after all the excitement of the inaugural Stanford 20-20
tournament over the last two months, the announcement of the
cancellation of the grand US$5 million winner-take-all SuperStars
clash against South Africa seems to have brought the entire
proceedings to an anti-climax.
It is an extremely sad ending, at least for this year, to an
initiative that has rejuvenated cricket throughout the Caribbean,
brought out fans in amazing turnouts, and displayed young talent
that would not have otherwise been seen.

The Stanford 20/20 SuperStar game has been cancelled, according
to information reaching CaribbeanCricket.com.
The decision to scrap the US$5 million winner-take-all game was
made after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) refused to tinker with
the itinerary for the upcoming West Indies tour to allow some
players to play in Stanford's game.

One measure of the stature a person has attained lies in
international recognition and acclaim. It is but one measure, as
many are worthy but remain unsung heroes.
In the case of
the late Sir Clyde Walcott, it can be said that as a part of
the famous three Ws: Worrell, Weekes and Walcott, he defined an era
in West Indies cricket and indeed, a significant period in West
Indian social life.

Sir Clyde Walcott is dead.
The West Indian batsman who, along with Everton Weekes and Frank
Worrell made up the legendary "Three W's," passed away in a
hospital in his native Barbados. He was 80.

The inaugural Stanford 20-20 tournament in Antigua has come and
gone successfully, and no doubt it brought with it the kind of
hype, excitement, television coverage and crowd attendance not seen
in West Indies cricket for quite some time.
Through it all, there has been a not so subtle campaign by many
regional commentators, particularly during the Stanford tournament,
to promote Trinidadian Darren Ganga as the leading captain in the
West Indies.
