They saved the sacking until after St Lucia's last game, which was Tuesday!
:mrgreen:
On Tuesday, in front of another poor crowd, in another exciting, close match, Jamaica beat St Lucia by five wickets with just two balls to spare. Andre Fletcher hit 89 not out from just 53 to pilot St Lucia to a formidable 173-7. He received support from Marlon Samuels (54 from 36), while pacers Mohammed Sami (3-27), Kesrick Williams (2-37) and Rovman Powell (2-36) did most damage for Jamaica.

The home team bowlers were expensive, as andre McCarthy rescued his side with a match-winning 61 not out from just 37 balls. He received support from opener Glenn Phillips (32 from 21), an Aussie playing his first CPL match.

St Lucia and Jamaica both fielded four foreigners, but while Jamaica put out three locals, St Lucia had four, including the non-performing Johnson Charles. apparently, Sammy was sacked when he refused to allow the selectors to drop his fellow-St Lucian.
