Well, we finally caught up with our promise to look at Shouts From The Outfield from new Barbadian publishing house, AE Books, it is fielding different aspects of the sport that most Caribbean folk would either kill or die for…

This is a wonderful memento for any die-hardest cricket fanatic to either give as a present or take back home for time well spent in Barbados!
