Test cricket bowls out kite-flying

This Easter weekend cricket will replace kite-flying as the major activity as all head to the Queen’s Park Oval, Port-of-Spain to witness the clash between the mighty Australians and the talented West Indies led by superstar batsman Brian Lara.

The Caribbean cricketers will be going all out to square the series after going under by nine wickets in the First Test at Bourda Oval, Georgetown Guyana last week. The teams arrived in Trinidad on Tuesday evening and have been hard at practice, since Wednesday fine-tuning their skills ahead off the clash at the Mecca of Caribbean cricket, the Queen’s Park Oval. Trinidadians will be going out to support their players and especially the TT boys who are on the team. Lara and Daren Ganga both got hundreds in the First Test, while pacer Mervyn Dillon will be looking to get among the wickets. TT are well represented at the top level with Lara as skipper, Gus Logie as coach and Ronald Rogers as trainer.
