we rooting for our song “We will rise again” to be played at the games
Powerful initiative. As a west indies fan i support this team. As a UWI alumni i support this team also. As a Dominican i welcome this initiative. So it’s a win-win-win for me. All the stakeholders have won.
I thank the Presidents X! will be too powerful for the Chancellor’s X!. I know it’s a charity game but it’s unbalanced
WICB President’s XI looks like the West Indies Team.
That’s the team them fellars selected man? No Roosevelt Skerrit? I will support the game but once again the selectors keep discriminating against Dominican superstars and players. I expected to see players like Theophil and no doubt Roosevelt Skerrit, who should be the captain of the team with most players that boycotted the Indian tour all because of love of money. A strong leader like Skerrit would do a very good job in getting those guys to play for pride first, instead of love for money.
Thanks West Indies Cricket…and UWI. I rally with the West Indies in good and bad times and time all the way To UWI… you are the soul of the region’s intellectual power… thanks for the initiative to help our Dominica
It would be great if Sports Maxx could carry the match on TV…..
It will be carried live.
would have been nice to see Sanford also.
Look forward to this match. Will it be broadcast live? Sincerely hope so.
HOTEP!
