The 3rd test Match between England and West Indies will begin at the St. John’s stadium in Antigua from Sunday February 15 – Thursday February 19
Start time 10.00am (14.00GMT).
The 2nd test was abandoned due to lot of sand on the pitch and poor playing conditions. a new Test was hurriedly arranged , Both the teams will hope the conditions are far more favorable this time, and seek to make the aborted second Test a bad memory.
The last Test staged at this ground was against India in 2006, in which Chris Gayle cracked 69 in West Indies’ chase of 392. Fidel Edwards and Cory Collymore held on for a tense draw.
England’s record in this particular ground is poor. They haven’t won in the six previous encounters, and in two of those in 1994 and 2004 , Brian Lara smashed his two world records, 375 and 400 runs not out!

Quotes
"The Recreation Ground is not in brilliant condition as we speak but from a netting point of view the wickets were satisfactory, the bowlers’ run-ups were fine, the outfield is not great but I don’t think it’s dangerous".
Andrew Strauss is diplomatic yet straightforward about the decision to host the third Test at the ARG."The pitch is never a problem here. I think it will last. The slight problem is the outfield."
