I really don't like the lack of experience in our lineup, and I strongly feel that both Simmons and Fletcher should be opening the batting for our side in this match....

However, based upon what we've been given, I really hope Thomas is dropped, and Corbin is given the gloves. Could this be the team?

1) Hyatt
2) Chandrika
3) Carter
4) Bonner
5) Corbin
6) Brooks
7) Russell
8) Brathwaite
9) Permaul
10) Gabriel
11) Pascal

LOL at grandpa Mike leaving out Narine so he doesn't look like an absolute IDIOT where Chesney Hughes is concerned!!...how pathetic!! , Brathwaite and Permaul NEVER TOOK A WICKET in the last game so one of them has to sit, if Narine wasn't gonna play a test game why the hell did they call him up in the first place?

[BallOil]

Permaul is the captain so unless he is hurt then Brathwaite should mek room for Narine. We already have three fast bowling options in Gabriel, Pascal and Russell.

If Narine don't play, WI cricket is more serious trouble than we think!

st lucia pm calls for suspension of activites this weekend for mourning. hopefully the a team match is not played this weekend

By now most Saint Lucians are aware of the tragic event which occurred during the evening of November 10th, 2011. This involved a mini bus which went over a cliff and plunged into the sea at Morne Sion in the Quarter of Choiseul. This resulted in seventeen (17) confirmed death mainly from the community of Dugard in the Quarter of Micoud. Prime Minister Stephenson King visited the site of this unfortunate tragedy last evening and remained on site until 3:00 am this morning. The Cabinet of Ministers met in
Emergency session earlier today to discuss this major national tragedy and to determine Government’s response.

The following decisions were arrived at by the Cabinet of Ministers:

1. That the Friday 11th to Sunday13th, November 2011 be declared a Weekend of National
Mourning in order to pay respect to those who lost their lives in this unfortunate accident.

2. All flags on Government buildings and Business places must be flown at half mast during the entire weekend (over the three day period).

3. Sunday, November 13th, 2011 be declared a National Day of Remembrance. During that day there will be an Ecumenical Service held at the Desruisseux Roman Catholic Church from 5:00 pm.

4. That an official Message of Condolence will place on the Government of Saint Lucian website.

During this weekend all political and public social events will be suspended. Government calls on all patriotic Saint Lucians to observe fully the weekend of mourning as a mark of respect for the victims of this painful tragedy.

The Prime Minister, the Cabinet and the entire Government extends heartfelt condolences to the families, relatives and friends of all those who lost their lives as a result of this most tragic occurrence. This is indeed a dark day in our history.

The Government of Saint Lucia has began putting measures in place to support and to comfort the bereaved. The Ministry of Education has taken steps to make counseling services available to the students of the affected schools. Through the Division of Human Services, arrangements are also being made to make such services available to the affected households, families and communities.

[Westdem]

Sorry to hear about this but this happens everyday all over de world...I lost 11 friends in 9/11 and the US played Baseball and Football after 3,000+ people was SLAUGHTERED includig my 11 friends..so why do they have to cancel this cricket match?

[BallOil]

Its not official yet but most likely according to the post by Joshua above... Lets see what the other Lucians will do...

[AFRO]

Yeah sorry to hear what happened, but i hope the match goes on because the schedule can't be changed at this late stage, the country can pay their respects without everything having to shut down imo, it's not like massive crowds were gonna rush to watch an A-team match anyway.
