Stanford sets up multi-million dollar match

Allen Stanford: tempting the Test nations with big money

Allen Stanford and his 20/20 board of directors have invited the winners of the World Twenty20 in Johannesburg to play a one-off, $5million, match at Stanford's ground in Antigua. The game is pencilled in for June 29 against a Super Star Team selected from the players taking part in the 2008 Stanford 20/20.

Not only do India have the Twenty20 Trophy but also the possibility of a £2.5 million, winner takes all match against the West Indies (if they choose to accept).

Though you could argue that it's just another game that we could do without it, at least Stanford is attempting to rejuvenate West Indian cricket.

Hopefully, this match will come off as well as the planned Stanford Twenty20, however if not, then Stanford may well look at bringing in Australia to play the game.
