Women’s World Cup in India in
2013 and the semi-finals of the ICC
Women World Twenty20 in 2010,

In her primary role as wicketkeeper,
she has over 100 dismissals
in One-Day International cricket,
having recently achieved a century
during the home series against
South Africa Women in September
2018.
In addition, she has over 70 dismissals
in Twenty20 internationals
from 95 matches she played.
Having made her One-Day International
debut against the Netherlands
Women in July 2008 and
her Twenty20 debut against South
Africa in June of 2009, she played
112 One-Day International matches,
amassing 1752 runs at an average

tive told Caribbean Life afterwards.
“The effort put in is what counts to
me,” he added. “They were running
against giants. Their journey is not
an easy one either, and I even applaud
them for even having the nerve to compete.”
In the 4 x 100m, also on Thursday,
the TSSS girls’ team of Almarie
Providence, Lynch, Lewis and Edwards,
placed 6th among nine schools, clocking
51.17 sec.
Their performance, however, enabled
them to qualify for the 4 x 100m inaugural
International B Finals. In that event,
the team remained the same, except for
John, who replaced Edwards.
The boys’ team, competing in the
Penn Relays for the ninth consecutive
years, placed 3rd in the 4 x 400m on Saturday,
clocking 3 min., 35.56 sec.
The team, which competed against 14
other top-ranked United States schools,
comprised Zamal Creese, Uroy Ryan,
Zimri Stephenson and Dawson Samuel.
On Friday, May 3 the TSSS’ boys —
Myron Matthews, Stephenson, Samuel
and Ryan — placed fourth in the 4 x
100m, clocking 44.62 sec.
Head Coach Godfrey “Fuzzy” Harry
told Caribbean Life that injury to one of
the female athletes, at the recently-concluded
CARIFTA games, significantly
affected the performance of the female
teams.
“This was not the best position of
both teams,” he said, “but we must
commend the effort, especially for the
female team, which has just established
a new school record.”
After missing the Penn Relays in
2017, the TSSS girls’ team returned last
year in winning their 4 x 400m heat in
4 min., 6.94 sec.
The TSSS has been the pioneer in
representing St. Vincent and the Grenadines
in the Penn Relays in the inaugural
year in 2011.
Three years ago, the St. Vincent and
the Grenadines Grammar School joined
TSSS, bringing to two the number of
Vincentian secondary schools competing
in the prestigious event.
“We did a good account of our ourselves,”
Harry told a reception Saturday
night for the Vincentian athletes, as well
as for a Belizean high school team, at
the Vincentian-owned Calabash Restaurant
and Lounge on Lancaster Avenue
in Philadelphia.
the second set of openers behind
New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum
and James Marshall to both score 150
in an ODI.
Campbell and Hope became close
to posting the highest ever partnership
in One-Day Internationals, but
fell just short of the 372 punt on by
fellow West Indians Chris Gayle and
Marlon Samuels four years ago.
And had they batted out the 17
balls remaining prior to Campbell’s
dismissal, they would have become
the first set of One-Day International
openers to bat through the entire
first innings of an One-Day International.
With no real threats, Ireland’s
bowlers were put to the sword by both
Campbell and Hope.
In Ireland’s turn at the crease,
fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Sheldon
Cottrell virtually decimated the
Ireland batsmen. Ashley Nurse was
the pick of the bowlers with 4 for
51, while Shannon Gabriel took 3 for
44 and Roach 2 for 28. Ireland was
bowled out for a paltry 185.

Holding: CWI
needs reform
By Azad Ali
Fast bowling cricket legend,
Michael Holding says the newlyelected
Cricket West Indies (CWI)
board needs to undergo serious
constitutional change if it was to
escape the cycle of poor governance,
which had plagued it in the
past.
The 65-year-old Jamaican, a
well-respected television broadcaster,
said a new constitution would
allow for an enhanced governance
structure, which would prevent the
future CWI leaders from “dominating
situations, doing as they
like and being supported by their
lackeys.”
In welcoming the new CWI
board, Holding said he thinks it is
a positive change.
“We have a lot of work to do,
there is a lot of work that has to be
done. What needs to be done and
what has been rejected for so many
years,” he said during an interview
with a local radio station in Trinidad
and Tobago.
Holding pointed to the fact
that previous administrations had
ignored the key recommendations
contained in various reports, all of
which had called for an overhaul of
the governing body.
Holding is among several legendary
former West Indies players
to give kudos to the new CWI
leadership change, including Sir
Vivian Richard, Sir Andy Roberts
and Clive Lloyd, all of whom had
thrown their support behind Ricky
Skerrit.
