And wish to report the following:
Guyana VS Pakistan

1. Shiv looks terribly out of form....make his 44 from well over 100 balls and could not get the ball through the gaps...
2. Leon Johnson nuh ready....Reaz sticking him up on dat slow Bourda pitch....he did touch the bouncer to the keeper even though he would claim he didn't.
3. Reaz will be a handful if there is any sort of live in the providence test pitch....the guy hits the bat hard...
4. The bourda ground is in a terrible state...smh

WI mixed team at DCC
1. Sarwan also looked terribly out of form and eventually tamely forced one to backward point and was out..
2. Young Bramble battled courageously while facing some very testing stuff from Roach.....
3. There is a young leg spinner from Berbice named Latcha...decent.. turns it but is still very raw...
4. The guys look very fit and seem to have very good camaraderie...
5. Young Braithwaite seems to have put on some height and size....I just have the must positive feeling about his future....seems a very professional fellow

God Bless

Shiv has been having problems finding the gap ever since the Sri Lanka series last year.

Old age might be catching up with the Tiger. :D

yeh badpepper...short but a very good day watching some cricket...regardless of the politics, I love my WI cricket and will always support the team, despite what is going on because the boys on the field are not representing Pakistan, England or RSA, they are representing US, the Caribbean!
