@CCW

providence got a test in 2024.....there were less than 20 people there on the final day when WI needed 260 to win and fell just 40 runs short.........stadium does look like it was designed by a north korean eunuch

Trinis should have attended this after all the bellyaching about not getting matches…North people Chupid and fraud to travel down the highway.

@CCW

please. Providence does only come out for GAW and India......and i don't blame them. GAW is a side that wins(except when collecting lix from Trinidad) and India is also a team that wins. i wouldn't have blamed anybody if they thought going to this game would have been a waste of time and money because WI is not a winning outfit

This was a world cup game featuring the hosts and the stadium was a ghost town.

this was a game five days later in Tarouba....and nobody left after WI lost three wickets in the first over

@Halliwell
