A revitalized West Indies team
reclaimed the coveted Wisden Trophy
for the first time in a decade after
they produced another relentless display
to crush a bewildered England
by 10 wickets inside three days of the
exciting second Test last weekend in
Antigua.
The regional team has taken an
unassailable 2-1 in the three Test
series — the final to be played at the
Darren Sammy Stadium in St. Lucia
on Feb. 9.
On another day of high drama at
the Sir Vivian Richards Ground when
14 wickets tumbled, the West Indies
team was dismissed in its first inning
for 306 about 25 minutes before
lunch, but then routed England for
132 in their first innings.

Not only have Weymouth Wales
revived their winning ways, but the
Barbados Football Association Premier
League defending champions appear
set to make a true fight for their third
championship in a row.
The title holders of the past two seasons
last week won a fixture to dust off
a dismal string of four straight losses
and this weekend struck three times
against Youth Milan to shoot themselves
up to the top of Zone One with 17
points, bypassing leaders of a week ago,
UWI Blackbirds, who suffered a loss and
had to settle for second position with
