ST JOHN’S, Antigua – West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has announced that some of the Regional Four Day Cricket Tournament matches will be played under lights and that pink balls will be used in these matches.

The pink balls were introduced in 2010 in the first four-day match under lights between Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana here at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Grounds (SVRCG).

Oh shucks, they've finally found a way to wrench the 4-day championship from Jamaica. Those poor Yardies will once again be doing their now famous "Deer in the headlights" impression.

Why no lights in Jamaica?

Maybe T&T could spot them some runway lights.

You mean they have pink rubbers on the bat handles, how phallic a symbol is that? No wonder the bajans “come forth” in the competition. big grin
