Cricket, a game that has been know to last for days will be getting a much needed infusion. A cash infusion that is! Can you say US$100 Million?
A generous donation by Texan billionaire Sir Allen Stanford who has been living off the indigenous people in the caribbean for almost 3 decades, is for 20 matches. Clearly the good Sir has decided to pay for his sins give back. Each victory for the West Indies will line each players pockets with a cool US$1Million every time they beat their traditional arch-rivals. This will be a hot match for sure!
The match is set to take place at the Stanford Cricket Groundin Antigua, between the West Indies and England. The 1st match will be November 1st 2008 to coincide with the 27th Anniversary of Antigua’ s Independence.
