  • GROWTH EXPECTED During This Time, Fingall Said They Will IF All Goes Well, the Barbados Throughout the Year
    Established October 1895 Barbados wins Wellness Destination of the Year PAGE 2 Thursday January 30, 2020 $1 VAT Inclusive Stadium to close for track repair By Corey Greaves WORK on the track at the National Stadium is expected to begin from this Saturday, forcing the closure of the stadium until February 11. This was revealed by Chairman of the National Sports Council (NSC), MacDonald Fingall, during a media briefing at the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex yesterday. It follows an interview which Minister of Sports, John King, had recently, regarding the same closure of the track and the relocation of school sports for some schools. The Mondo track at the National Stadium was laid in 2013 and Fingall said that representatives from the company are coming in to do remedial work on the track. “They have sent in the equipment and tools that are necessary and we got that cleared. We knew it was coming, but because of how things can be with Customs in terms of clearing stuff, we didn’t want to do anything until we got it cleared.” Now that the equipment and tools have been cleared, Fingall said that everything seems to be in place and the Mondo representatives have strict orders in terms of what the NSC needs and they have met all of those things. The Mondo team is expected to arrive tomorrow, Friday, and the stadium will have to be closed while they work. They have said it will take seven days and then some time for it to cure. “So I would say in ten days we will be ready to roll again,” said Fingall, who also mentioned they have alerted the Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados, Cleviston Haynes, in a press conference at the Bank yesterday to give a review schools that had been booked during of Barbados’ economic performance for 2019.

  • Wisden Cricketers Almanack
    01.21 118 3rd proof FIVE CRICKETERS OF THE YEAR The Five Cricketers of the Year represent a tradition that dates back in Wisden to 1889, making this the oldest individual award in cricket. The Five are picked by the editor, and the selection is based, primarily but not exclusively, on the players’ influence on the previous English season. No one can be chosen more than once. A list of past Cricketers of the Year appears on page 1508. sNB. Cross-ref Hashim Amla NEIL MANTHORP Hashim Amla enjoyed one of the most productive tours of England ever seen. In all three formats he was prolific, top-scoring in eight of his 11 international innings. His triple-century in the First Test at The Oval was as career-defining as it was nation-defining: he was the first South African to reach the landmark. It was an epic, and the fact that it laid the platform for a famous series win marked it out for eternal fame. By the time he added another century, in the Third Test at Lord’s, he had edged past even Jacques Kallis as the wicket England craved most. Amla produced yet another hundred in the one-day series, at Southampton, prompting coach Gary Kirsten to purr: “The pitch was extremely awkward, the bowling very good. To make 150 out of 287 rates it very highly, probably in the top three one-day innings for South Africa.” Accolades kept coming his way as the year progressed; by the end, he had scored 1,950 runs in all internationals, at an average of nearly 63.

There should be though, some symbolic representations of the game of cricket, pertinent to the story. Throughout there should be a screen in use which does not interfere with the action, when stills or moving footage should be used. This should never interrupt or impact on the dialogue and can be most effective at scene changes. The Commentators, Interviewer and Reporter could either be live on stage or as voice overs. The Commentators do not need to have actual footage from the game on the screen as this may be difficult to acquire.
