Impaired run-up ruins play at St. Kitts’ Warner Park Cricket Stadium 

Basseterre, St. Kitts, January 25, 2018– Deterioration at St. Kitts’ Warner Park Cricket Stadium resulted in a problem with the cricket pitch in the final round of the contest between the Leeward Islands Hurricanes and the Windward Islands Volcanoes.

According to a CMC report only 16 deliveries were possible on day two last Friday as a dodgy run-up at the northern end ruined play.

Hurricanes added six runs in the time available to be 99 for two when play was eventually called off in the day/night affair at Warner Park.

Bowlers complained of instability in the run-up at the Media Centre End, forcing play to be aborted and leaving ground-staff to make urgent repairs to the soil.

However, after the soil was replaced, the ground remained too soft for play to resume. Play began at 1:30 pm on the third day.

MRS LIBURD GOOFED IN TRYING TO DEFEND DOUGLAS STUPIDITY

As I read a commentary by Mrs Willa Franks Liburd, I suddenly became alarmed as I wondered where Mrs Liburd was over the last seven years. Mrs Liburd, must have been dreaming and suddenly woken up, hasn’t she? Let me familiarize her on our parliamentary proceedings.

All parliament members in the past have always complied with the rules of the Speaker whether or not they are in agreement with it. Dr. Douglas was the only one who would have told the speaker, “well we gonna have to talk about this privately”. If a member doesn’t like what the Speaker has said then he/she should move on especially when the speaker asks him/her to move on. It is like in any sport, once the umpire or referee makes a decision the players must accept the ruling or decision and anything outside of that is considered as showing dissent and carries a monetary fine or suspension.
