My early life in the cricket media fraternity
It’s coming up to 20 years since I started my life in cricket, specifically, as part of the media fraternity. This picture was taken between 2003 and 2006 at Sabina Park, in front of the Mound. This was pre-2007 World Cup, and at the time this picture was taken, there were no restrictions and I […]
Remembering Tony Becca
The news came to me via a WhatsApp from a Jamaican friend on Thursday February 28, 2019 at 8:57 a.m. Grenada time. “Mawnin. Heard that Tony Becca died,” she messaged. “Oh!” I replied in dismay, and immediately set about verifying the information, then sharing the unfortunate news with my family. Still in shock and disbelief, […]
Catching up with Sunil Ambris in 2019
Sunil Ambris’s 94 runs against the visiting English bowlers in their second warm up match was a timely reminder of his ability to score runs. It especially stood out since no other batsman managed more than 22. Having been seconded to that CWI President’s XI from his regional team Windwards Volcanoes, following their – some […]
I am back. Hello cricket world!!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hellloooooooo!!!!!! And Happy 2019!!! I have crawled out from under the rock where I have been for the last 3.5 years working on a non-cricket project which took quite a bit of….well, nearly all my leisure time. When I DID have some free time, I chose to spend it at the lovely Grand Anse beach […]

“One more night, give me just one more night” was pumping over the speakers when I arrived around the same time as I did on Tuesday. Indeed, give Jamaica Tallawahs one more night this Thursday to put up another authority stamping T20 performance in the Hero CPL 2105. Let’s see what the boys can do in this […]
Hero #CPL15 T20 Diary 1: Jamaica Tallawahs vs St Lucia Zouks
I cannot recall seeing Sabina Park being so full in my recent memory! Well the way my brain has been working these days, that doesn’t count for much. But the point is made. There are lots of people here. From I arrived at the George Headley end at approximately 5:15 p.m., patrons could be seen in […]

CRICKET DIARY: DAY 4 – WEST INDIES VS AUSTRALIA AT SABINA PARK
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 […]
