PT, am thinking of doing Antigua & Barbados next year for the 3rd & 4th tests - that's why I got 'em confused earlier! - you'd recommend it as a destination?
both superb places...i visited when there was no cricket but managed to blag my way in both grounds...both fantastic and when full to the brim would be awesome.. the rec at antigua is a tiny ground and in one stand you pay one entrance fee and get to drink and eat as much as poss...its a bit like an all-inclusive stand...the local beer in antigua is called wadidli and is really nice.. barbados is nice and bridgetown the capital is quite a fun place...both islands are picture postcard as you can imagine.. we are going to tobago next year and i am trying to go when england are playing in trinidad...sarah is not a cricket fan but i have got the dates for cricket and its round about the time we want to go....i can see a big row happening..but what the fuck !!! also been to jamaica but they wouldnt let us go to kingston when there was no cricket...that says it all really.. anything else you need to know..give us a shout
