 Lightning and Thunderstorms caused all games to be abandoned. Vincentian wicket-keeper was struck by lightning at approximately 4:30 pm. He has been reported to be in a critical condition and on life support. We're awaiting an update on his condition and of course hoping the best for him. A few of the other players expirienced it also but to a lesser extent. One of the most dangerous places to be during a thunderstorm is underneath a tree.
