The Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) produced a magnificent display in both innings to doom the St Lucia Stars to a 101 run defeat and an all too familiar opening game loss in the 2018 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) competition last night at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of …

“No pressure on our team, the pressure is on their team. They haven’t won anything in a while and the pressure is there with them.” Trinbago Knight Riders captain Dwayne Bravo threw down the gauntlet to his countryman and new St Lucia Stars captain Kieron Pollard on the eve of …

The time to be in front, every successful sportsman knows, is at the end. Ask Sir Alex Ferguson (but not Arsene Wenger!), Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Mo Farah, Usain Bolt (but not Justin Gatlin!) and Dwayne Bravo (but not Jason Holder!) That’s illustrious company for the Trinbago Knights Riders captain, …

They’re back at home and up against it! After a stellar run of qualifying matches, including eights wins, ended in defeat on Saturday, Dwayne Bravo’s Trinbago Knight Riders must get back to winning ways. But it won’t be easy. And they may be quaking in their boots. Tomorrow, they take …

Nobody yet knows who greased the palms of the Barbados Tridents at the Queen’s Park Oval last night; Sunil Narine is certainly not complaining! The mystery-spinner-turned-Trinbago-Knight-Riders-opening-batsman rode his luck to hit 79, his career highest score in T20 cricket, and lead the home team to their fourth win in five …

So the thousands of glad, largely red-clad fans who filled the house at the Queen’s Park Oval last night did not come to see any effortless straight-back-over-your-head shots from the Barbados Tridents’ captain. Outside the Oval, I ran …

“It is bad captaincy that is causing us to be scrambled, everybody is whispering and shrugging shoulders. ... In this campaign I shall spare nobody… I hereby give notice; I shall not let this question rest until it is corrected… This fooling with the West Indies captaincy has gone on too …

It brought Garry Sobers to the verge of public tears in Sri Lanka in 2015. Wherever Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh and Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards are in the world, it is almost certain to bring them to private tears. And it will make cricketing knights Frank Worrell and …

The 2016 CPL T20 started at the end of June and no doubt, no matter who wins, the tournament will be heralded as a success. The recent success of the West Indies in the shorter format of the game has contributed in no small way to the tournament’s growth and …

Trinidad and Tobago cricket stars Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard have both officially pulled out of the West Indies T20 squad and will not participate in the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, which runs from March to April in India.
