WEST INDIES READY TO STEP IN
CCC's season seems to be ending in confusion over whether their lucrative end of season friendly will go ahead. Traditionally, the first Sunday in September sees a friendly match against Park House. However, this year there is confusion as to whether it is Park House, Genetics, or Mallards who is the opposition.
CCC has already lost to Genetics and Mallards a few times this season, and club spokesman Roger French believes this could provide the key to the controversy: "I believe that they are fighting for a fixture against us because they think we'll be pushovers," claims French. "Mallards think they're playing Genetics, though they'd be happy to play us, Genetics certainly thought they were playing us. Meanwhile we think Genetics are playing Mallards, and we are playing Park House, but no one's heard from Park House ever since the previous friendly against them was called off due to a double-booking controversy."
No one from any of the other teams was available for comment. Meanwhile the West Indies have offered to step in to play CCC at short notice, probably at Wallsend. "We feel that CCC would provide a good spring board for the ICC Trophy in October, as we feel confident that we should be able to beat them. We've also heard about the fast, true surface at Wallsend, and that excites my bowlers," commented WICB spokesman Clive Lloyd.
