The Cricket Match

By Ewart Rouse

THE CRICKET MATCH is an updated version of WATKINS AT BAT, Sticky Wicket Trilogy, Vol. 1, with new material. Last season, reigning champs Jamaica Rebels Cricket Club failed to show up on time for the New Jersey Cricket League finals against the hapless Fernwood Cricket Club and Fernwood gleefully claimed the points. Not very sporting Today, in their first meeting of the new league season, the city-based Jamaicans, still seething over the championship loss by default, are out to give the suburban-based Fernwood a whipping they'll never forget. But, like they say, cricket is a funny game and the best team doesn't always win. And, in this particular "grudge" match, it isn't likely to win - not with Fernwood leader Freddie Watkins coming out of retirement to play for his team, at the risk of the breakup of his marriage. BONUS: WATKINS' OVERSEAS TOUR. Freddie Watkins organizes an off-season club tour of Jamaica and everything that possibly can go wrong goes wrong.
