Middlesex are our 20/20 Champions and T&T are the West Indian Champs.Stanford stumped up the money so the The Superstars are his team and England were available and considered good box office.
People also forget Stanford has been pumping money into West Indian cricket for years to halt its decline.The main reason he thought up this competition was to show young local kids that there is still money to earned in cricket as so many are chosing to play more lucrative
U.S. sports like Pro-Football and Basketball.
There are in fact two competitions. T&T v. Middlesex is one final (with prize money) and England v. Superstars is the other. The other two games are like practise games with no prize money.
It is utter ,utter nonsense to suggest fans are boycotting because of Lowe. Its the general poor results and lower expectations that are keeping the fair weather fans away.
Some may use it as an excuse to stay away but if we were top of the league and regularly winning games many would return.
Agreed and the Lancashire fans are up in arms about him being released as well.....
I think it is an inspired signing and we may well have another batsman on the way too.
