		We were all involved in the genesis and the nurturing of the plant and now we are reaping the fruit.

		And as to the "28 years" argument, they point out there is an increased harvest of the bitter fruit of economic instability, infrastructural collapse, social services decline, and an escalated educational devastation.

		The likelihood is not only that both spinners will play but that the West Indies will also award a first cap to the 22-year-old Trinidadian leg-spinner Dinanath Ramnarine.

		Bourda may be a better prepared pitch, and Atherton will not have forgotten how impotent an attack of Fraser, Lewis, Igglesden, Salisbury, Hick and Ramprakash (15-1-35-0) proved here four years ago.

	Jamaica Gleaner - Windies heartbreak in Bourda thriller - Monday \| April 19, 2004
		IN A pulsating duel of hugely fluctuating fortunes that belied its shortened duration, England scrambled a two-wicket victory with three balls to spare in the first One-Day International at Bourda Oval yesterday.
		A sliced drive by Darren Gough off Chris Gayle just sailed out of the reach of Sylvester Joseph and the ninth-wicket pair scampered the two runs needed in near darkness to take the visitors past the home team's total of 156 for five in a match reduced to 30 overs-a-side.
		Fans were already celebrating in the stands with the score at 120 for seven in the 26th over, but they did not count on Read's resilience and Collymore buckling under the pressure to produce a dramatic finale that sets the stage for the rest of the series.

	Cricinfo - First Test at Bourda balanced on a knife edge
		The West Indies made light work of erasing the deficit on an increasingly uneven pitch with Chris Gayle blasting his way to a furious 26 not out and Wavell Hinds reaching the close on 13 as the home side closed on 50 without loss, a slender lead of 22 runs.
		Daryll Cullinan snicked a classic leg spinner from Dinanath Ramnarine to Ridley Jacobs shortly before the break and Neil McKenzie's troublesome start to the tour continued immediately after lunch when a lap-sweep at Ramnarine failed to make contact and he was bowled around his legs to leave the tourists wobbling at 198-4 having been 171-1.
		Finally, however, after seven hours and 26 minutes in the steaming cauldron of the Bourda, weariness led the opener to wave at a wide ball from Courtney Walsh that bounced unexpectedly and flew from the top edge to Jacobs.

	Rediff On The NeT: Morale-boosting win for India ahead of fifth Test
		And that is one reason why the 91-run win over Guyana at the Bourda, in Georgetown, just two days before the fifth Test of the Cable And Wireless Series will come as a morale-booster to the touring squad.
		The Bourda was never among the paciest of Carribbean pitches, but in recent times, it has taken on a character that rivals the spin-friendly pitches of the Indian sub-continent.
		India's tour management will, of course, take heart from this indication that the Bourda track, on which they take on the West Indies on Thursday needing to win to square the series, is so amenable to spin.

		The GCB head acknowledged that there has got to be great improvement in the security at Bourda in order to allow for a continuity of international matches.
		Among the measures to be taken by the GCB are the building of higher fences and ensuring that the inner walls are stronger by concreting the bottom and galvanising the top.

		The umpires informed both captains the match was to be abandoned after the first session and a half of play had been washed out.
		Although it was a disappointment for both sides it was unlikely the game was going to end in a positive result, with a draw looking inevitable after India closed on day four at 395-7 in response to the West Indies' 501.
		The match, played on a flat featherbed of a wicket, heavily favoured the batsmen throughout and was unlikely to produce a result even if the it had carried on for an extra day.

	Rediff On The NeT: Jadeja's ton marks day one of warm-up game in Guyana
		The track at the Bourda, in Georgetown, Guyana, is flat, brown and stingless - so much so that Ajay Jadeja, coming out to bat after acting skipper Mohammad Azharuddin took first strike after winning the toss, wore a floppy white hat rather than the more usual helmet.
		The Bourda wicket for the fifth Test giving every sign that it will favour spin, David looks a cert to get his first Test cap in the event he bowls decently here.
		India, needing to win at Guyana to square the series, would be even better served going in with three spinners at the expense of an extra batsman - but that is the kind of risk the team management has seemed very reluctant to take thus far.

		Chanderpaul reached an unbeaten 203 to follow Hinds' 213 as the West Indies seemed unbothered by the absence of seven key players due to a sponsorship dispute with the West Indies board.
		He and fellow left-hander Chanderpaul's marathon stand was the best at Bourda, eclipsing the 251 between Australians Graeme Wood and Craig Serjeant against the West Indies in 1978.
		Hinds' dismissal was reward for a more disciplined South African attack, but the West Indies maintained their advantage throughout the day despite a slower scoring rate.

		So far, the only Englishman who has unequivocally declared his intention to be at the Bourda Cricket Ground is the Rolling Stones lead singer, Mick Jagger, and he's spent the last 30 years in rock-and-roll; and even 30 years of wild excess is likely to be inadequate preparation for Guyana; Altamont notwithstanding.
		Test cricket is simply too provocative for El Nino and Bourda together: it must rain, all day, for as long as it takes to abandon the match - although you could have a quick regatta in its place.
		It is also possible that Kensington Oval may have to host what is now scheduled to be the Antigua Test because there is so much work to be finished on the strip at the Antigua Recreation Ground and, after Sabina, no groundsman in the Caribbean could be working remotely near his peak.
