Beyond the IPL

A few hours after the close IPL match at Bangalore, another match went to the wire, almost as the T&T team defeated Jamaica at Sabina Park with two balls to spare in the Carribean One Day Competition.The match was close even without the likes of Gayle and Narine. The IPL has now become the major cricket league and scouts go everywhere to find talented cricketers everywhere.However, it is really good to remind ourselves that good cricket can be played without superstars and exciting cricket is being played in the world outside the IPL as well.
On a day that Chris Gayle was the most prominent Jamaican, spare a thought for young Jermaine Blackwood , who scored an impressive eightyfive and with Andre McCarthy helped Jamaica put up a challenging total. The more well known Lendl Simmons guided T&T to a nail biting win.
