The West Indies Cricket Board confirmed on Monday that the pitch used for the third round match between Windward Islands Volcanoes and Leeward Islands Hurricanes in the Professional Cricket League Regional 4-Day Tournament in Dominica will be investigated.
The Volcanoes completed an eight-wicket victory over the Hurricanes inside two days at Windsor Park, located in the Dominica capital of Roseau.
WICB director of cricket Richard Pybus will gather the reports of the match referee and umpires, as well as captains and coaches of each team, along with officials of the Volcanoes franchise regarding the preparation and performance of the pitch.
“We will speak to all of the relevant parties to get a clear picture of what took place at Windsor Park and decide on the course of action once we have reviewed all the reports,” he said.
In the match, Hurricanes declared their first innings before lunch on the opening day last Friday on 24 for seven before Volcanoes gained a lead of 116, thanks to a half-century from opener Tyrone Theophile in the face of a career-best, seven-wicket haul from teenaged fast bowler Alzarri Joseph.
Nkrumah Bonner then stroked his third half-century in six innings before spinners Liam Sebastien and Alston Bobb shared nine wickets between them and the Hurricanes were bowled out for 170, leaving the Volcanoes with the modest target of 55 for victory.
I just can’t control myself while I am reading these comments, just have to laugh.
why they dnt investigate the west indies male team when the loosing straight.
investigate the administrators of the game, not the pitch. Pitch is innocent.
someone should investigate why they want to investigate the pitch.. but investigations does not mean a negative outcome, it can be that the bitch is a very good pitch and it needs to be reviewed for future matches. i’m not a cricketer and do not know the politics of cricket but i have been told and i have also overheard that this field is the best in the region, the pitch is swift and fast. i have been there at the matches providing service… just saying.. nice photo anyway
LOL, now even the pitch is pissed off and does bad. Don’t know why the pitch is under investigation instead of the corrupt people who tend the pitch. Only in Dominica garcon.
Blame Skerrit
He was playing in the match

DNO, I really don’t see the need for such an aggressive response to Lisle’s comment. Maybe she did not see it then?
As far as I am concerned every damn thing that has to do with Dominica needs to be investigated these days because there is not one single institution , office, pot folio or organization that has not been corrupted or contaminated………. Make it worse, Emmanuel Nathan, a very close associate of Skerro and whose office is inside of Skerrit ‘s office, is president of DCB, Windward board and vice president of WICB? Hell know! The sad thing is, not even our neighbors in the west indies trust us these days and want to investigate everything. What a shame#
