Friends of mine have a house near Vire in Normandy, wood burners all the rage there and everyone uses coppiced Beech wood...it's pretty much the famous Bocage..... ah, that log burner with an endless supply of Red at 2 Euros a bottle ....
I think I heard Simon Mann on 5Live talking about this, apparently its a bid to save money as it costs a lot of money island hopping to 3 different venues so the West Indies board are trialling having 2/3 or 2 x 2 out of a 5 match series in the same venue as a cost cutting exercise.
