AS THE start of the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup approaches, the West Indies cricket team continues to prepare for the big occasion. which bowls off in Australia on 15 October.

Their first assignment to acclimatise themselves was a two-game T20 series against the home team and defending champions, Australia.

The first game at the Metricon Stadium, Gold Coast was a close affair in which WI lost by three wickets. However, some poor cricket was played. Winning this game could have made all the difference as a confidence-booster. The way the game was lost reveals a deep lack of confidence.

Left-arm pacer Sheldon Cottrell was given the responsibility of starting the final over to the left-handed Matthew Wade, with the Aussies needing 11 to win. Being slapped for four in the first delivery reduced the deficit to seven. Wade, with that boundary, moved his personal score to 43, then scooped the next delivery into the air, was dropped by Raymon Reifer at deep cover and gained two runs in the process.

[caption id="attachment_979745" align="alignnone" width="1024"] West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell[/caption]

After one run was taken from the next ball, Mitchell Starc, the tall left-arm fast bowler who also bats left-handed, played a wild swing with the intention of striking a boundary to end the game – and was dropped by Kyle Mayers.

A close, exciting end to a tight match. Australia placed in the winning position at the pole, to win with just one delivery left.

Some might call this bad luck for WI, but I believe it was bad cricket. Captain Nicholas Pooran had his opposition on the ropes in the final over when his players let the game slip.

There are no excuses for this ragged cricket in a final over in an international game. This was the opportunity to build confidence and pull down the Australians a peg. Every advantage is of vital importance. It would’ve been such a booster to start off with a win against the defending champions and earn new-found respect from the other teams in the tournament. Nevertheless, it wasn’t deserved.

WI didn’t have to wait long for the Aussies to show them how the game of cricket is played in the T20 format.

And to hear captain Pooran’s remarks after the games makes one cringe. Do coach Phil Simmons and Pooran ever discuss T20 cricket, how to approach it and how to apply cricket intelligence to the format?

The first thing that must be understood is that all the meetings the team may have cannot replace actual practice.

On a wicket that was giving the bowlers some help in this second game, which actually is not unusual for the Brisbane Cricket Ground, the exposure of the major weakness of a Windies team that struggled to adjust to changing conditions showed the lack of proper batting technique to suit those conditions. And this is the shortage of understanding and intelligence that masquerades as knowledge.

A High Court judge has frozen the assets of six former employees of ANSA Merchant Bank to the tune of $27 million.

The interim order was made by Justice Frank Seepersad, on Monday, as part of a claim the bank has filed against the six former employees and six roll-on/roll-off used car dealers.

The bank alleges its former employees and the six dealerships engaged in a conspiracy to present fraudulent documents and/or make fraudulent representations to the bank for over $27 in loans.

It is also alleged the former employees breached the terms of their contracts and conducted themselves in a manner that was likely to destroy or seriously damage the relationship of trust between themselves and the bank.

The bank has also accused the defendants of wrongfully engaging in actions with intent to injure the bank and cause losses by unlawful means in the conspiracy to defraud and conceal their actions.

In filing the claim, the bank also applied for an injunction to freeze the assets of the former employees.

Seepersad said the court’s jurisdiction was founded in the civil proceeding rules and such orders can be granted when it appears likely that the claimant will recover judgment or if there are reasons to believe that the defendant had assets to meet the judgment in whole or in part but may take steps to ensure these assets are no longer available or traceable.

“The test is therefore whether the claimant has shown at least a ‘good arguable case.’

“At this stage, the court holds the view that the refusal of a Mareva injunction against the former bank employees would involve a real risk that a judgment or award in favour of the plaintiffs would remain unsatisfied.”

He said the court held the view that the position presented by the bank outlined a good arguable case that the former bank employees were likely involved in an intricate fraudulent scheme.

“The court also holds the view that the allegations of fraud and dishonesty are significant and that there is a likelihood that someone who engaged in such conduct would have the propensity to attempt to dissipate assets so as to frustrate any judgement awarded.”

Although he agreed to grant the injunction to freeze the former employees’ assets, the judge said he needed more information before he considered a similar order against the used car dealers.

Directions were given for the filing of affidavits and submissions and the case was adjourned to December 11, at which time the judge will give a decision on whether the freezing orders will be issued against the defendants until trial.

The claim alleges by reason of conspiracy to defraud, each employee is liable to account for the misappropriated sums and liable for damages.

The bank is represented by attorneys Bryan McCutcheon, Candace Layers and Marcelle Ferdinand.
