Welcome to Sky Sports tour of Barbados. We are going to show you viewers at home some of the main tourist attractions here in Barbados, and we are also going to be giving away a fantastic prize


Gun Hill Signal Station, located in the parish of St.George, provides a magnificent and captivating view of the entire island!
It is the finest of a series of signal stations built in 1818. These stations sighted ships approaching Barbados and signaled to each other in warning of the approaching vessel. They were also used to warn of slave rebellions on the island. Another signal station can be found at Grenade Hall.
The signal station was restored and landscaped by the Barbados National Trust and now houses a collection of military memorabilia.
The statue of the lion was carved out of a single piece of rock in 1868 by an officer at the signal station.

Ocean Park is a unique Marine Aquarium. In our displays you can experience the underwater life up close. The 26 displays located throughout the park showcase the bright, colourful and exotic fish and sea life found around Barbados and the Caribbean, as well as weird and wonderful animals from tropical seas around the globe. The park is set in beautiful outdoor gardens filled with lush tropical flowering plants and vegetation.

We hope you have enjoyed your tour of Barbados. Tomorrow the first cricket match starts. A 4 Dayer with England v West Indies A. Stay tuned for information on our fabulous prize

Beside the pool

Here are the two teams for the Opening Tour Match.
England v West Indies A​

It is time for the coin toss with the two captains Darren Ganga and Michael Vaughan. Rudi Koertzen. Will supervise

RK: Could you flip the coin Darren please
*Coin flies*
MV: Heads
RK: It is tails. What are you going to do Darren
DG: I think we will have a bat first

So there you go West Indies A have won the toss and decided to bat first. Let's look at the conditions

A very flat pitch with not much going for the bowlers. However it is a very humid day which will mean the ball will swing around early on. Because of the humidity it is going to be hard work for the England bowlers. There is not a cloud in the sky so we will not have to worry about any showers.

West Indies A have a lot of home support here in Barbados. The atmosphere is incredible

The West Indies pair are striding out, so while they get ready we will take a quick break

England bowlers dominate​

It is Lunch on Day 1 and the England bowlers have been very impressive. West Indies A have not been able to find a response to the attack. There have been many aggressive LBW shouts and West Indies A were lucky to survive with only 3 wickets gone. The lone performer has been Smith who finished the first session on 19 not out

Lot's of LBW shouts

First to go was Smith who left a ball which should never have been left alone

Ramdin then went for 42 when Hoggard nipped one back and removed his off-stump. Then once again another batsman was out not offering a shot this time Marshall of the bowling of Flintoff

So at Lunch on Day 1 the score is 43/3 with England looking to be in the driving seat. All of the England bowlers have been bowling well but the pick has got to have been Matthew Hoggard who has picked up a couple of crucial wickets. Remember people the Sky Sports Summer Sizzlers is still running so get your votes in now

Nice presentation but why edit the scorecard like that?

 

[Highlander999]

To show how slow the Windies have been batting
