The next decade....what's in store?

Lendl Simmons repays me

Before I go on, I have to say who Lendl Simmons is. He's a young cricketer from Trinidad & Tobago. He represented the West Indies at the youth world cup last year in Bangladesh where we were beaten finalists.

Anyway, after Trinidad played us here in Jamaica in Round 5, he asked me to use my computer to copy something on to a CD for him. No he didn't have a blank CD. I said I would arrange it, don't worry.

Dropped it off for him the day they were leaving. He had some money in his hands and asked how much he had for me. I said "don't worry about it, I didn't have to buy a blank CD because we had one at home. What you must do for me though, is score at least one century during this tournament". Yes, he said. I said "Make sure yuh know".

So today he obliged, not with one, but with two. He scored an even 200 ironically in their match against us now going on in Tobago (which we are going to have to try hard not to lose).

When he makes it into the West Indies team in another 4 years or so, I'll remind him about it.
