Cricket holidays are set to rival carnival holidays as
Trinidad looks forward to the Cricket World Cup in 2007. On the road to
2007 there are many good matches to be enjoyed in regional cricket, Test
Matches and One Day Internationals.
Cricket holidays spent watching first class cricket are
not the only holidays to be enjoyed in Trinidad. Visiting cricket teams
are welcome and accommodation and fixtures will be organised on request.
Regional school teams come together annually and the competition
is always spirited. International teams are being encouraged to come and
enjoy great competition in a fabulous climate!

TOP SHOT LARA. The Prince gave his subjects a
taste of just what class batting is. Though finishing 46 runs short
of a century, West Indies batting star Brian Lara still made the
Carlton Ground in Black Rock the place to be yesterday. Combining
deft touches with sporadic bursts of power, Lara was one of three
players from Trinidad and Tobago who made half-centuries, as Trinidad
dominated the first day of their Carib Beer Series match against
Barbados. Lara thrilled the crowd before a catch by Kirk Edwards,
off a smashing cover drive, left the ground abuzz. He stood his
ground, eventually leaving after umpires Tunley Franklyn and Eddie
Nicholls confirmed it carried.

Carnival
came early for the Trinidad and Tobago cricketers as they won the regional
first-class title for the first time in 21 years, beating Barbados by
264 runs at the Carlton Club yesterday. Superstar batsman Brian Lara led
the celebrations after the match ended, pouring champagne and beer over
his teammates. The visitors started the match needing an outright win
and they achieved it to finish level on points with Barbados. They took
the trophy by virtue of winning the head-to-head encounter. Champions
