One day fuh police, they say, one day fuh tief. Cricket does not always work that way but on Tuesday at Warner Park in St Kitts, it did. Faf du Plessis’ St Lucia Kings, victors when they stopped Kieron Pollard’s Trinbago Knight Riders five runs short of their 157 for …

Just before the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup knockout round began, England’s Mark Nicholas dismissed the West Indies as no-hopers on the grounds that West Indians ‘have no brains’. It is a view that hardly flatters the other teams; the record shows that Daren Sammy’s WI went on to win …

So often the hero for Trinbago Knight Riders, Colin Munro could not buy a boundary on a difficult pitch at Warner Park in St Kitts on Sunday morning. And in the end, it cost the defending champions, who went under to lowly St Lucia Kings by five runs in Match …

Despite their modest 122 on the board, Jason Holder’s Barbados looked like they were in with a chance of avoiding a second successive defeat in the 2021 CPL. For all of eight overs into the second innings. But the combination of the small size of St Kitts Warner Park ground …

The Trinbago Knight Riders, led by West Indies white ball captain Kieron Pollard, proved unbeatable throughout the 2020 season, winning all 12 of their Caribbean Premier League games.

A T20-Powerplay-style opening partnership between Abid Ali (29 off 23 balls) and Imran Butt (37 off 44) on Monday afternoon pushed the door open for Babar Azam’s Pakistan to level the two-match Test series at 1-1 at Sabina Park on Tuesday. But it was Man-of-the-Match (10 wickets for 94 runs) …

Sunday 14 November, 2021. Remember the date. Fans all over the Caribbean will probably be marking Monday 15 November down on their calendars as well. The organisers are calling it a reserve day; West Indian fans are already seeing it as a day reserved for celebrating Kieron Pollard’s men capture—for …

Late on Day Four of a see-saw First Test at Sabina Park on Sunday, Kraigg Brathwaite’s West Indies held their nerve and rode their luck to eke out a narrow one-wicket win over Babar Azam’s Pakistan. In a low-scoring game, number 9, Kemar Roach, and number 11, Jayden Seales, came …

Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D’Artagnan. Remember them? One for all and all for one? French figments of Alexandre Dumas’ fertile 19th Century imagination.  How many of us have seen ourselves in these swashbuckling heroes? Sixty thousand Frenchmen cannot be wrong, right? Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell. …

Right-handed middle-order batsman Nkrumah Bonner has been recalled to the West Indies 17-member provisional Test squad announced by the Roger Harper-led selection panel on Monday. The 32-year-old Jamaican, who earned a middle-order spot on the starting XI with his consistent performances in Bangladesh earlier this year, has fully recovered from …

The urbane, measured, eloquent George Davis hosts SportsMax’s Tokyo Breakfast segment of CNC3’s Olympic coverage.  On Friday, Davis would have blanched when the discussion turned to the Women’s 400m final and invited co-host Pauline Davis remarked that the winner, Shaunae Miller-Uibo, had ‘literally killed them’.

Babar Azam’s Pakistan on Tuesday won the four-match series 1-0 but it was the weather that once again had the last laugh at the National Stadium in Providence, Guyana.  Pakistan managed as many as three complete overs against Kieron Pollard’s West Indies. It was better than the eight balls the …
