Keith, positiveg, will you guys be going to this match?

Any news as to what the St Kitts-Nevis teams will look like?

Yeah, I am going to be there to see how the young Jeremiah Louis negotiates against the likes of Jimmy et al

If you have the time, Keith, please give us updates, and a flavour of what the match is like, there....

You never know what to expect from the WICB's coverage, or lack thereof....

Do you know what the SKN teams will look like? I would like to see Lil Bravo playing for one of them, just to prove his fitness....

Who is Nikki's friend again? Liburd? Will he be playing? I see where he made some runs against Trinidad this weekend.

"I don't care for the west indies anymore"

Now di man begging fi WI players to play in warm-ups?

Someone has promised to provide me with the local line up and as soon as I get my hands on it, i will post.

two 2 days warmup matches on April 6 and 7th and then again on the 8th and 9th

The team is as follows
Jacques Taylor (skipper)

steve Liburd
jeremiah Louis
Jamar Hamilton
Akeem Saunders
Sheneoberridge
Elvin Berridge
Darren Hobson
Quinton Bostswain
Ross pawell
leon Clarke
Sherwin Peters
Shane jeffers

Manager Leroy Bailey
coach Percy Daniel

Thanks, Keith...who's Sheneoberridge?

Taylor didn't have much of a chance in the Leewards this season, and should've been given more of a run. It was a crime that Liburd was omitted for so long in a team that had lost eight on the trot. Louis and Boatswain are promising pacers, and Peters has been a stand-out player in the Leewards this season. Hamilton seems to have done a job with the gloves, though his batting has fallen away, while Jeffers is a veteran who seems to have been overlooked for the regional team.

I must admit, I don't know the others....

Surprise surprise Mr England's LACK OF KNOWLEDGE on domestic cricket rears it's ugly head again!!

Jacques Taylor= Average player at best

steve Liburd= Good player for Leewards but was punished for cussing off a Leewards official which is why he was missing for much of last season

jeremiah Louis= LOL at this skunt calling him a "pacer" ..HE'S AN ALROUNDER DUMMY!!..and may well be the best one to emerge since Dwayne Bravo. Only 19 years old but if he works hard i see him playing at the top level.

Jamar Hamilton= Had a poor PCL by his standards and has been left behind by Dowrich but he's being messed around a little due to him and Thomas sharing the gloves...i think he'd be better off going to Winwards next season.

Akeem Saunders= Big potential but has struggled at the first class level...needs one big score to get himself going.

Shino Berridge= Bowler..not too much info on him

Elvin Berridge= Left arm spinner and i think he's the brother of Shino.

Darren Hobson= Opening batsman..around 21 now and played for Leewards u19s three years ago

Quinton Bostswain= Done ok towards the end of the PCL and has decent pace...needs to keep working hard on his game.

Ross powell= u19 opening batsmen who has done well in the youth ranks.

leon Clarke= Not much known about him but i hear he's a batsman in his mid 20s

Sherwin Peters= Originally from Trinidad. Scored a ton in the PCL and took some wickets..only 24 so hopefully he'll continue to develop.

Shane jeffers= Scored a ton against Bangledash last year but never played in the PCL

All in all England shouldn't have any problems but it will be interesting to see some individual performances like Louis, Saunders, Powell, Boatswain and Hamilton.
