Washout looms in St Lucia

Play was abandoned for the third successive day in the Carib Beer Series match between the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands at the Mindoo Phillip Park.

Eddie Nicholls and Lawrence Thomas, the umpires, made the decision to call off proceedings just around tea after it became clear that play would be impossible. Rain fell through the night and during the day again, leaving the already-waterlogged field even wetter with pools of water on the outfield.

With only one day remaining and the ground still wet, it is quite likely that this match will be called off without a ball being bowled.
