Officials to investigate drainage problems at Sabina Park
Those responsible for the upkeep of Sabina Park have pledged to investigate the circumstances which restricted play to just beyond 60 overs over the opening two days of the regional four-day match between Jamaica Scorpions and Windward Islands Volcanoes.
On Friday and again yesterday, gentle rainfall interrupted play. But many familiar with the venue were left flummoxed by the severe wet spots which meant umpires could not sanction a restart even hours after the showers had stopped.
Very little sunlight over two overcast days at the venue has also been a contributing factor.
Anthony Walter, property manager of Sabina Park, said the immediate priority is to have as much play as possible.
“We are going to investigate to see if there is anything we are not aware of, but the first thing we are trying to do is to get the game going and then we can try to figure out what is causing the problem,” he told the Jamaica Observer yesterday.
