ODI
Grenada thanks Chris Gayle!
What a cricket match spectators in Grenada witnessed during the 4th One Day International on Wednesday February 27, 2019!!!

A Taste of Spice
The Grenada Cultural Foundation promised ‘a taste of Spice.’ Those who attended, got that, and more. After a morning of heavy rain on Tuesday February 26, 2019, the heavens cleared, allowing those who attended ‘A Taste of Spice’ in the heart of Grenada’s capital to experience some of Grenada’s culture. From steelpan music, to the […]

Remembering #BobWoolmer
BBC Radio had a programme on March 19, 2017 to mark the 10 year anniversary of the passing of former Pakistan cricket coach. 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 […]
I had a dream about #WICB
With all that has been in the media about the need for the West Indies Cricket Board to change, it was only a matter of time before it entered my dreams. Dave Cameron was still the President. His Executive Assistant was the same as in real life and she handed me some papers prior to […]
