The Emancipation Cricket Festival presents, Lindon James, captain, Windward Warriors
Lindon James as captain of the Windward Warriors seems natural. An expressly proud “Windward man” having been born and bred in South Rivers within the windward interior of St.Vincent, his passion for cricket and his village roots drives his commitment to lead the Windward Warriors to success. Lindon is part of an elite lineage of Vincentian wicket-keepers to have played for the Windward Islands.
He played 59 First-class matches for the Windward Islands. However, it was the advent of Twenty20 cricket in the Caribbean that launched his reputation as a ferocious right-handed wicket-keeper batsman.
Lindon became well known to regional cricket fans during the Stanford Twenty20 tournaments (2006 & 2008), when his aerial straight drives threatened to infringe on outer space. His 73 not out off 37 balls in the 2008 edition of that tournament is incriminating evidence against this smasher of space. The airspace above Arnos Vale will not be safe during the Emancipation Cricket Festival.
