Jah know star…..I am getting ready to go to cricket with a heavy heart. The emotional roller coaster that the West Indies players take spectators on is not a thrilling ride. I picked up a media colleague who was visiting from another island. We discussed the possibility of how long the match would last. It was on […]

CRICKET DIARY: DAY 3 – WEST INDIES VS AUSTRALIA AT SABINA PARK
The conversation in my house before heading to Sabina Park was whether the match would end on Day 3. I was optimistic and said to my father that Jason Holder could get another century, just like he did in Antigua. I believe Dad ‘steupsed’ or ‘kissed his teeth’ (something which apparently only West Indians do […]
CRICKET DIARY: DAY 2 – WEST INDIES VS AUSTRALIA AT SABINA PARK
Reached to the ground about 5 minutes before play started. Sat in the lower stands for a while, taking pictures and trying to help a photographer to get wifi. Headed up the stairs, on foot. I use these 5 day matches to try and get some more exercises, especially because of the food which is […]

Captain Dwayne Bravo was purported to have written […]
One thrilling match!
The background is that it was my birthday and I had planned a cricket week in Guyana to celebrate. Before my birthday, I told the Jamaican cricketers that I needed a victory as my present.
Limacol CPL final round – very interesting!
My my my. First, the St Lucia Zouks beat the defending champions Jamaica Tallawahs and now the TT Red Steel are imploding against Antigua Hawksbill while batting first in St Kitts at Warner Park. It seems they may not even bat out the 20 overs in this Limacol CPL final set of matches before the […]
