Well the best place would be in Guyana...since there are only 3 venues staging this series...the choices are limited.

The 1st leg will be in guyana...then they move to St. Kitts, and finally finish in Barbados...

If you are looking for a Caribbean Hotspot, then Barbados is your ideal vacation destination...St Kitts is also....but if you're looking for something entirely different, head to Guyana...it's very beautiful...the stadium and all.

Good luck and safe travels.

If west indies win all their matches (which is highly unlikely) will they go above Bangladesh in ranking?

[brockley]

I doubt it they have picked a B squad apart from Pollard and Narine.

[Roey Haque]

I thought Bd was playing. I got really happy.

Downer.

[aklemalp]

^^ ha haaa...all of BD upcoming matches are tentative...that's a downer right there. .when somethings not confirmed

Thanks bro. I actually went to St. Kitts. Met the groundsman - great guy (pic below)! But area around the stadium was not the safest. Although there are some amazing views from the stadium (mountains are out of this world). I also recommend a tour across this great island. Some of the views are truly breathtaking.





I will look into Barbados first then Guyana. St. Kitts will be my last option since I was already there.

Barbados is the last stage....it might be a drag on you booking tickets for Guyana.

West Indies have arrived in Guyana:

[aklemalp]

So the first match of the tri-series about to start. West Indies versus South Africa at the Providence stadium in my home country, Guyana.

South Africa have won the toss and have elected to bat. There's a chance of rain, but it may not be a problem later on. Humidity and heat on the uncomfortable scale.

West Indies XI: 1 Johnson Charles, 2 Andre Fletcher, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 7 Carlos Brathwaite, 8 Jason Holder (capt), 10 Jerome Taylor, 10 Sunil Narine, 11 Sulieman Benn

South Africa XI :Hashim Amla, 2 Quinton de Kock (wk), 3 Rilee Rossouw, 4 AB de Villiers (capt), 5 JP Duminy, 6 Farhaan Behardien, 7 Chris Morris, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 Kyle Abbott, 10 Aaron Phangiso, 11 Imran Tahir

[aklemalp]

A special pair.

"Amla-QDK are opening together for the 50th time in ODIs today. Only the 3rd such opening pair for SA, after Gibbs-Smith (74) & Gibbs-Kirsten (66)."

[horizon]

I saw SAF Captain mentioned it could turn and hence he has two spinners. That's strange to me.

[aklemalp]

Abdv made 31 and no boundaries

[aklemalp]

Is South Africa gonna reach 200?

181/7

Narine, with 4 wickets to his name.

[horizon]

Narine has his fifth now.

If the entire tournament is played on this kind of surface, I won't wonder if WI wins it and bags a bunch of points.

Let's see how they play Tahir. SA doesn't look to get 200.

[horizon]

Narine the boss!
9.5-0 -27-6
SA 188 all out

[simon]

This is SA, they depend heavily on Amla,Kock and AB.
Next match they will score 280+

[Vepu]

Still backing SA to win this

[aklemalp]

Good to see the Providence wicket plaYing like it always does.

[horizon]

Now watch for Pollard!
