No the PJ Patterson Stadium, about time cricket comes back to Western Jamaica though, would have loved to see a few CPL games at the ground too

Woulkdlove to see many international matches played there including Tests.
The aestetics of Sabina were downgraded with the blotting out of the Blue Mountaims
which view served to inspire some great West Indies fast bowlers such as Wes Hall,Andy Roberts and Holding.
Andy even spoke of this.At least the Trelawny cricket field offers a nice scene of greenery along with a beautiful view
of the blue Caribbean Sea. At least that is worth looking at at when licks are sharing as it is these days
