De Peiza delivered this sentiment during The Sunday Roast of the DLP, titled Estimates 2021-2022: DLP Responds. She made the argument that diversification of an economy is an exercise that is best undertaken when the economy is booming, and noted that there had not been a boom for a long time. She also acknowledged that in the last three years of the DLP administration in 2015, 2016 and 2017, there was growth but it was negligible. De Peiza explained that since January 2020, the DLP had framed a programme which was designed to enfranchise GETTING A TREAT!: With restrictions being in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Barbadian shoppers and Barbadians.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

A time when full contact sport no longer holds centre stage. It is a passage of time when the art of sport is appreciated over the physicality of competition. Today, latent skills and blossoming talent has a place amongst our youth and the generations to come. It is now the subtle brilliance of deftness, the art of touch, mastery of stroke and pure strategic guile that has turned cricket into the sport of the future. Today cricket is the stage for mental agility and peak physical condition. It is purity of both mind and spirit that produces champions. The re-invention of cricket globally has rejuvenated a desire to master the ultimate game. A sense of camaraderie pursued by both men and women alike. It’s now a passion for gamesmanship, integrity, honesty and fair play. It is a game that can be embraced and played or supported by everyone. We can’t undo the past, but we can shape the future.

  • Through Adversity to the Stars a Majestic Season
    THE GENT No.170 October 2020 Through adversity to the stars A majestic season Season’s summary Around the circuit Averages and career Top 20s Planning for 2021 Match reports: Bricklayer’s Arms (won by 5 wickets) Winchmore Hill Tigers (won by 42 runs) Squirrels (lost 1 wicket) Millfields (won by 137 runs) Holtwhites Trinibis (won by 3 wickets) Salix (won 4 wickets) Read about the Gents on www.gowlcc.org Contact this magazine via email [email protected] Around the circuit Season’s end is traditionally time to assemble an opposition XI of the year but that is rather difficult when only eleven games were played. Instead we praise two of the most friendly, committed, and best organised sides on the circuit; Bricklayer’s Arms (who played 16 games) and Battersea Eagles (17). Eagles played three midweek and Brick four. Brick’s season ended with a defeat to Khukuri, a team of rather talented Nepalese Gurkhas from Hounslow, several of whom are Brick regulars. Nobody was disembowelled but poor skipper Tremain, who took 1-0-25-0 and was bowled third ball for a duck, felt as if he had been. Tigers used 33 players and had a 7-4 season after a strong finish, winning three of their last four. It is a pity that they are reluctant to travel away to play the Gents. Wycombe House 1sts and 2nds had good seasons in the Middlesex County Cricket League. There was no promotion or relegation, but Hamzah Khan’s young 1sts, average age 22, were a point off the top in late August before their form fell away after they were docked 12 points for a dangerous pitch when, after eight overs, their game with Eastcote had to be abandoned.
