Vic Isaacs05-Jun-2002The England and Wales Cricket Board chief executive Tim Lamb was full of enthusiasm for The Rose Bowl after visiting during the Warwickshire match last week as a guest of Chairman Rod Bransgrove.His first visit since the opening of the Pavilion, he was very impressed with “this fantastic set up” and was certain that The Rose Bowl had a great future ahead of it.Speaking about the One-Day International status afforded to the ground, he stated that it would probably be a neutral match between West Indies and New Zealand in the Nat West Series 2004, to begin with.”There are some formalities to be adhered in staging One-Day International” said Mr.Lamb, “One would be an inspection by the ICC, but I cannot envisage any problems there”.He did point out however, that with three extra One-Day Internationals against Pakistan, to be staged on top of the Nat West Series in 2003, there was a possibility of Hampshire being allocated one of those matches.”Who knows, Hampshire may be lucky, Chairman Rod Bransgrove is knocking hard on our door, laying a claim” said a smiling Tim Lamb.
