On a rainy august night in antigua, finan-cier Allen Stanford stands in the middle of the cricket stadium he built, surrounded by a huddle of 30 or so dirt-stained bowlers, fielders and batsmen. It's the final tryout to make a team of West Indies all-stars that is scheduled to play England in a winner-takes-all match in November. This is no ordinary match. The winning team will go home with $20 million, the biggest grand prize in the history of team sports. Each of the 11 players will get $1 million of that, and 5 alternates will split $1 million.rnFour more games are planned between England and Stan-ford's squad over the next four years.
