A soggy outfield, caused by persistent rain, has resulted in the abandonment of the opening day of the Carib Beer Series match between the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands at Mindoo Phillip Park. The area just off the pitch was soggy and major part of the outfield had small puddles of water which would take a great of sunshine to dry up. The prospect of an early start on day two seems unlikely.
Eddie Nicholls and Lawrence Thomas, the umpires, made the decision just before the scheduled tea time interval at 2:40pm local time as intermittent drizzles had the grounds staff pulling the cover off and on the pitch which seems to be unaffected.
