Ganga has arrived

By DILIP MAHARAJ

GRAND finals of the inaugural and very well appreciated Stanford 20/20 cup will take place on August 13, at the Stanford Cricket Ground in Antigua.

The series, brainchild of Allen Stanford -- the Antigua-based Texas-born billionaire/financier/developer of the competition -- first of its kind in the Caribbean -- has attracted prize monies worth millions of US dollars.

Some 14 past players -- dubbed the Cricket Legends -- are on the Stanford 20/20 board, with specific responsibilities and duties.

TnT Mirror, as has become customary, brings to our vast readership brief statistical pen portraits of each West Indies cricket legend.
