“The ball was coming out really well today and my rhythm was good. I felt really good and enjoyed my bowling. We had specific plans… we were very disciplined and we hit the nail on the head. I was happy for the support of the others and we bowled well as a team today. I have been putting in a lot of work in the nets and today I got some rewards,” Roach said.

Blog entries about interviews
Sunil Ambris – July 2014 interview – Part 2
In Part 1 of the 2014 interview, we heard Sunil Ambris talking about the different formats of the game, which one he prefers and that Chris Gayle is his favourite player. We learnt that he didn’t have a choice but to play cricket, since his brothers – including big brother Romel Currency- played and also […]
West Indies Squad – 1st Test vs England
I scrolled through the Windies squad for the 1st Test to see which of the cricketers I have interviewed.
Introducing Sunil Ambris….
Sunil who? Most people in the Caribbean would first think of Sunil Narine. But this Vincentian first caught my attention during a Windwards Islands tournament about 4 years ago. Living in Grenada, I get to follow that cricket tournament and have been to some of the matches. The batsman, who is brother to Romel Currency, […]
Remembering #BobWoolmer

Bob Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room in Kingston Jamaica, during Cricket World Cup 2007. Listen to part of the programme here and then my recollection of that period, while I was […]
Remembering Tony Cozier
I struck up the courage to request an interview with him and was chuffed when he agreed. I made sure to prepare my questions in advance, as I imagine he would have done, though his elephant-like memory meant that he perhaps did not need to. The interview was carried in two parts in April 2004, such was the extent of his opinions on West Indies cricket.
Devon Smith Audio – April 19, 2015
Devon Smith On Verge Of Creating History In Grenada
The person who will be most proud though is Miss Ann, his mother. Back in 2003, I went to the Smith house in Hermitage St Patrick to interview Devon. He was not there so I chatted with his parents first. Sadly, his father passed away a few years ago. As you will hear in the audio clip, Devon loves his parents, and I definitely got that feeling.
After the interview….the transcription
I remember when I was finished with the Lawrence Rowe transcription, it ended up being 24 typed pages! So you know how many days that took to finish transcribing.
