Disappointing and not suitable for a final. That’s how captains Allan Branch of Windward and Adrian Maynard of BRC described the conditions at the Foursquare Oval in St Philip, yesterday.
They were speaking to NATION SPORT long before attempts by officials to get play underway in the Barbados Cricket Association’s (BCA) Shield 40-over final, were officially abandoned without a ball being bowled.
From as early as Saturday when the opening day of the BCA’s seventh series Elite match between ESA Field Pickwick and the Barbados Defence Force Sports Programme was washed out it was obvious it would’ve required a minor miracle for play to be possible due to be wet conditions.
That miracle never materialised, even though an attempt was made to switch from one pitch to another where it appeared the bowlers’ run-ups were somewhat firmer. (EZS)
