I must say it was a great week, lots of sad faces, laughter and smiles!....I will start it of from Wednesday afternoon at Kensington Oval. I had national training with the Barbados team which had just came back from Trinidad, when i came through the gates of the white elephant i saw "bobski" (Tino Best) leaving!!.....Me personally i don't question certain things, so i just geared up and joined the fielding drills which Vassie was operating. I was all ears while i was going through my drills,and i over heard he was sent home for be disrespectful to some of the managing staff, honestly it was only a matter of time someone took drastic measures pertaining to his attitude.We all knew that he would of been dropped for the game on Friday against England Lions,which would of given "Cassie" (Fidel Edwards) the call up! Groups where divided,some went and hit some balls in the nets and the others did more fielding drills,i was with the fielding group,we was having a great session until the rain came down an ended the session early. I decided to take advantage of the gym and did some cycling for about 20 mins then i called it a day. We were scheduled to train at 9:30am the Thursday morning.
On arrival the morning i was wondering if Bobski would attend the session, he did, but 1hr and 30mins late, he apologized for his behavior and joined in with the session. Kirk, Kraig, an I had a very intense fielding session with coach Dexter, after that i had a few with the ball machine then i had a go on the turf wicket with the bowlers going at it. Great morning!...I had a good work out!...not to mention the warm up session with the trainer. I had called up my club coach Ricky Clarke an asked him if it was possible to do some extra training in the afternoon at the club "WanderersCC", it was a go. I got something to eat around midday then relaxed until 4pm which was the time we arranged to meet up to start the afternoon session. We did some stretching and then went into some catching drills. My bloody hands were sore!...It was intense but i enjoyed it, i'm weak taking catches to my left so more emphasis was focused there. I felt a little improvement at the end of the drill. We took a 5 min break then went to do some drop ball TD's (throw downs), but the rain had other plans,so that was ended after about 5mins. We had a few to drink after and talked cricket till we decided to head to our final destinations.
Friday!..was the start of the game against england lions, i was following the game via my twitter for the entire day..Kirk Edwards was 124 not out over night, i knew i had to be there on the second day to watch him continue.
It was Saturday, i took my seat and enjoyed some good cricket, Kirk was dismissed for 171, it was a great innings, captain Ryan hinds got his hundred aswel, Barbados posted a total of 471, it was a great day of cricket, also for pudding n souse which my good mate Gary Belle had brought for me at the game,and i must mention the great company of WanderersCC biggest fan and my long term friend Melissa King.
Well it was a good week, i wont say to much about today, due to the fact i was home all day relaxing. The only interesting thing about today was Capone attacking a goat which belonged to a resident in the area, lucky for me he brought back Capone home to me in one piece!...i know any other person would of sent him to doggy heaven. Well thats it for me for this week, until next week stay safe guys!
