    While I am happy for the T20 games, I am disappointed we did not get a test. I don’t anyone can argue that Dominica is the only Caribbean island that really makes test cricket exciting. Over the years cricket in Bados is very dread as they hardly have 2000 fans at the park. Although it usually better in Trinidad in terms of turnout, I don’t think West Indies have a home court advantage there. Guyana on the other hand is like planning to play cricket where a river is blocked waiting to be unblocked. I am speaking of the weather. But rain or not you hardly see 3000 there. But then again the WICB has already taken a decision to play more test cricket in territories that are tourist ready, and Domini9ca is no where close at this time, even if Mano would like to use his influence to help Dominica.

    Apart from those games, the DCA need to promote the West Indies Women Tournament in August. So let the public know that apart from the (2) two one day games, there will be the Women’s Tournament in Dominica.
    DCA – what do you think?
