Let's hear it for schools cricket

In the Barbados-based The Nation, Tony Cozier celebrates the revival of schools cricket in the island. He describes the occassion:

Family, friends, teachers and past and present pupils were there by the score to cheer them [the two teams] on. But the euphoria extended way beyond the immediate supporters to the wider cricket community, indeed to the community as a whole. It came at a time when there is great pessimism over the future of our youth and, by extension, the national sport.
