Congratulations to Cable & Wireless (Cayman) for another wonderful weekend of cricket. It's impossible to believe that the 1999 weekend could be surpassed. But then again, I say that every year. 2000 CCW was awesome. The weather was good and the stars did not disappoint. Of course, Sir Viv Richards over-shadows everyone. His charisma is known worldwide. It has become more intense as every one believes he should do the same things regardless of the years. Even so, the other guests were warmly greeted and assisted in transforming Cayman into the cricket center of the Indies.

The stars this year were from the past brigade - Sir Viv Richards and Michael Holding; from present players - Franklin Rose, Reon King and Sherwin Campbell. This year the schedule allowed samples of Cayman life with a visit to the exquisite Stingray City as the key point.

Surprise, surprise! Famous radio and television commentator Tony Cozier was here and joined Michael Holding in the radio broadcast of the feature match. This was a weekend or what!!
