Two new laptop computers from LIME, the corporate sponsor of Cayman Islands cricket, bring new technological capabilities to Cayman’s teams. The laptops will be used in conjunction with two new electronic score boards to update the scores during play at the Jimmy Powell Oval and the Smith Road Oval cricket grounds.
According to cricket’s Technical Director Theo Cuffy, the Caribbean telecommunications company has long supported Cayman cricket, providing cutting-edge communication tools such as Blackberrys, internet service, and now the laptops, which will make “a big difference” to the way scoring is updated at the two venues.
The sport’s new communication capabilities puts it in line with the rest of the world’s, where technology has become “vital” to daily living.
“Our supporters live in a fast-paced world and expect the same instant updates when watching their favourite sport,” said Courtney Myles, president of the Cayman Islands Cricket Association. “These laptops and our new scoreboards will give fans exactly that.”
Tony Ritch, country manager of LIME Cayman Islands, said the reason the telecom chooses to support cricket is its “significant role” in Cayman society as the Caribbean’s national sport and to help young players reach their potential.
“Our telecommunications sponsorship helps to keep the key players here connected, even when they are travelling,” said Mr Ritch, “and this latest donation will bring state-of-the-art scoring to the Cayman Islands.”
The primary schools cricket competition is the next major league tournament, which will start in the next school term.
