Pollard was the captain then for barbados so this is poetic justice for pollard.

Guyana was going to win that rain out game in 2014. Guyana had the momentum but dumb umpires call off the game.

It wasn’t a two hour delay for faulty floodlights hoss. It was raining which is totally understandable. This is not. Of all the hosts, nobody has had these kinds of issues except providence

Kieron Pollard (Trinbago Knight Riders Captain):
"At that time, we were speaking about what the rules are. What will happen if the lights don't come back on. Obviously the question was asked, but it would have been dangerous for both teams. At the end of the day, the groundstaff did what they have to do to get the game."

"You prepare for any circumstances. If rain would have fell, it would have been same scenario. They had to chase 60 and well batted by Miller. Still proud of the boys. The way guys came and played consistently. If you get 14 points from 10 games, you take that each and every time. Professionalism was shown, we saw the class of Nicky P."

I have seen games where some of the bulbs were not working at games, it is not only providence, it happened many different places.

It happened in IPL games too and many other venues.

That rain out game was 10 mins delay, was a light drizzle but umpires call off the game because they wanted barbados to go to champion league.

We GAW fans had to swallow a bitter pill too for that game.

I remember and you are right Guyana was blatantly cheated,TKR also got a bad deal last night with the 1052 "cut off time",why did the match continue,you may think that it was a setup as a TKR supporter.Anyway I now support GAW to win the Title.

Yes that game was sure win for Guyana, Ramdin and Barnwell was going great with the run chase.

And that was at Warner park in St Kitts, the smallest ground to hit 6 and 4.

They wanted barbados to go to the Champion League.

Umpires were bajans, gregory braffith and leslie reifer was match referee.
