Of Barbados, South Africa and Jamaica

While I took some time off for my PRSA International Conference in Detriot you all would have heard else where of Barbados being blanked in their three match series in South Africa.

The South Africans of course used them for their style of play as a warm up to their triangular series in Jamaica this month against Jamaica and Trinidad. I hope Barbados would have made some use of the opportunity and learnt something as well. I also hope to see at least 8 of the players that were in the squad going forward to next year's tournaments. Barbados need some continuity for growth.

It has been reported that Jamaica's National coach Connie Francis sees this month's triangular series in her hometown which runs from Nov 10 to 13 as an opportunity to improve her country's world ranking.

Jamaica finished 3rd at last year's world championships in New Zealand, and are ranked 4th behind Australia, New Zealand and England.

South Africa will probably field the same team they used at home against Barbados which included:
