Unpresenidated

The management of LI PCL team should be banned from all regional cricket, and the team forfeit and tournament money. No investigation needed; evidence is clear (in the 21-century a PCL lasted 1.5 days)
The game was scheduled for 4-days and should have been played to the duration or until a cricketing result. Play for pride and the people that you represent much to the delight of the fans.
The LI management's decision makes a mockery of the sport and has set back cricket in the region for about a decade.
I heard comments about the points system - to this end; I say we are trying to justify poor decision making/logical thinking in an effort to change the narrative.

Let call things as there are and banish the LI management from all regional cricket. I think the Captain should also be punished for his involvement.

How can LI cricket be put back on the track?

unlike most group stages in football competitions, the organizers had deemed that all games must have a winner. All games drawn over 90 minutes would go to sudden death extra time. Secondly and most importantly, there was an unusual rule which stated that in the event of a game going to sudden death extra time the goal would count double, meaning that the winner would be awarded a two goal victory.

Barbados was leading 2-0 until the 83rd minute, when Grenada scored, making it 2-1. Approaching the dying moments, the Barbadians realized they had little chance of scoring past Grenada's mass defense in the time available, so they deliberately scored an own goal to tie the game at 2-2. This would send the game into extra time and give them another half hour to break down the defense. The Grenadians realized what was happening and attempted to score an own goal as well, which would put Barbados back in front by one goal and would eliminate Barbados from the competition.

However, the Barbados players started defending their opposition's goal to prevent them from doing this, and during the game's last five minutes, the fans were treated to the incredible sight of Grenada trying to score in either goal. Barbados also defended both ends of the pitch, and held off Grenada for the final five minutes, sending the game into extra time. In extra time, Barbados notched the game-winner, and, according to the rules, was awarded a 4-2 victory, which put them through to the next round



YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

You better watch where you are pointing that finger because T&T did the same thing to Bim a couple of years ago.

Cornwall and his coach are two turkeys. Oh well, Stanford. lol
