No wonder cricket in on the wane in the West Indies, the genius powers that be schedule games in the middle of the week when no one can attend and leave Sunday blank when every one can attend, and when you have the biggest TV audience.
above is a fan comment I pulled off Misinfo. it seems accurate!

I agree with that statement. Plus the early match is in conflict with most people work hours.

I still don't understand why all the teams are traveling to Barbados as well. Tis is an addition cost to the WICB... The teams that didn't make it to the semis should go straight home not a free trip to Barbados to play a meaningless game. Oh well..maybe its just me

yu think the fact that ESPN is in there has anything to do with the scheduling?

I highly doubt that ESPN has any input on the schedule
