Coloured clothing, a common feature in international limited-overs cricket for the past two decades, was introduced to Barbados’ premier limited-overs competition yesterday.

On a day when heavy overnight and early morning rain forced the abandonment of five matches in the Sagicor Cup competition, there was play in only one match, between hosts Mount Gay Maple and BNB St Catherine at Trents, St James.

Carib Beer Series

Friday 11, February-2005 by Haydn Gill

KINGSTOWN – Courtney Browne has come back and immediately stamped his presence in the Barbados team.

The undisputed leader, the most successful captain in regional cricket history, had a serious talk to his players in the aftermath of their horrific start to the Carib Beer Series.

“I was very blunt. It is all about production from here for me,” Browne told WEEKENDSPORT before he and his men got down to serious practice at the Arnos Vale Playing Field yesterday evening.

“I don’t think we can sit down. We have players in this team who are performing way below par. They really have to look at their game, assess it and look to produce.

“I don’t think we could just sit back anymore and say that we are taking guys for the ride. All of that is over.”

After four successive defeats that have left the defending double crown champions bottom of the standings on four points, there is hope of a turnaround in the sixth-round match against the Windward Islands, starting here today.

But the players must first get the message.

“I am not looking to criticise. I just think that we need to put some structures in place,” Browne said.

“We have made some suggestions. Hopefully these guys will follow the suggestions and look to improve Barbados’ cricket. At the end of the day we are not playing for ourselves. We’re playing for the Barbadian people and our people are very proud people.”

Throughout the tournament, Barbados’ big names have been woefully short of expectations with the bat.

At this stage, who would have expected the interim captain Sherwin Campbell to have 185 runs (ave. 23.12), Dwayne Smith 149 runs (ave. 18.62), Kurt Wilkinson 137 runs (ave. 17.12) and Martin Nurse 193 runs (ave. 24.12)?

While they have been let-downs, Dale Richards, in his first season of first-class cricket, and wicket-keeper Patrick Browne, who has moved up the ranks following three seasons with the West Indies “B” team, have been the standouts.

“He [Patrick] didn’t make any hundreds, but each and every time he occupied the crease for a long time,” the elder Browne said.

“If you have guys like Patrick doing that, the other guys have to realise they’ve got to do it, whatever it takes.”
