St Vincent cricketer battling for life

A cricketer from St Vincent is still battling for his life after being struck by lightning last Sunday at Marine Park in Brooklyn, USA.



Forty-one year old Patrick Gibson, who was making his debut for Vincentian team Stars United in the Brooklyn Cricket League, remained in critical condition at Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan, USA.



Doctors say they will operate on Gibson when the swelling to his brain subsides.



Gibson was running off the cricket pitch after returning to retrieve his cricket gear, when he was struck by lightning during a sudden, massive thunderstorm.
