BARBADOS captured a gold medal at the annual Chelsea Flower Show early yesterday morning.
The Gold Winning exhibit, Sugar Factory Ruins Reclaimed by Nature, was designed by renowned Barbadian artist, Arthur Atkinson. Some 600 exhibitors participated in this year’s event, including teams from South Africa, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka.
YESTERDAY’S opening ceremony at the Barbados Yacht Club, Bay Street, St. Michael signalled the start of several new features of this year’s Mount Gay Rum/ Boatyard Regatta.
The opening ceremony itself is new to the event but the Organising Committee wanted to formally welcome sailors from Barbados and across the Caribbean to one of the biggest events on the sailing calendar. Entertainment, food and brief speeches including remarks from the Hon. Richard Sealy, M.P., Minister of Tourism who was full of praise for the regatta which has attracted the largest number of sailors this year.
Additionally, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Mount Gay Rum/Boatyard Regatta organisers have added a number of other new elements to this year’s festivities.
THE BRITS are heading to Barbados for Sunday’s final of the ICC World Twenty20 Championship at Kensington Oval.
An ominous-looking England outclassed a sub-standard Sri Lanka by seven wickets in their semi-final at Beausejour Cricket Ground, yesterday.
The way England have played in the World Twenty20 is the closest they have ever come to resembling an Australian side in terms of character and this is a tournament they can undoubtedly win.
I have seen England win Ashes series but if you watch a successful Australian side, they are all over the opposition. They are busy, they bully, they don't let you go — and this England side have looked very similar to that.
It’s the first time I've really seen England play that way. They're absolutely ruthless, they are full of confidence, they know they can win and they look a superb side. Everyone has been quite surprised by the way in which they have played so far but the best thing for their prospects was beating New Zealand without Kevin Pietersen. It was very important for the confidence of the side to show they can achieve victory without him.
The players now know they can win without him and he knows that, too, which can be quite a wake-up call for the star player in any team.

West Indies followed typically enterprising batting from Chris Gayle with an improved performance in the field that carried them to a 14-run victory over India in the Twenty20 World Cup yesterday.
The West Indies captain, later named Man-of-the-Match, smote five fours and seven sixes in 98 from 66 balls to lead West Indies to 169 for six from their allocation of 20 overs in the seventh Super Eight match at Kensington Oval.
