Tourists prepare for first ever Test on the island where their current crisis involves poor play rather than bad behaviour
Not for the first time England find themselves in a bit of a pickle in St Lucia. They have never played a Test here but they have been involved in two significant World Cup matches on the island with contrasting outcomes.
In 2007 England were comfortably beaten by New Zealand by six wickets in their first 50-over game. Well, that happens and it is a match long since forgotten unlike the immediate aftermath of that defeat, which involved Freddie Flintoff, a pedalo and the subsequent headline “Prats of the Caribbean”.
