Not having yet got the memo, the Guyana Amazon Warriors might have opted out of the 2017 CPL today at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Put in to bat by Trinbago Knight Riders’ skipper Dwayne Bravo, they lost a mere five wickets in their 20 overs but only managed to …

And underneath is written, In letters all of gold, How valiantly he kept the bridge In the brave days of old. Take a bow, Mark Bassant. The brazen attempt by Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley to bramble the population into thinking that the bungling government is taking serious action on …

A little birdie told me that nothing could be more certain than that Jason Holder’s West Indians will “get their arse properly wash up in England—whitewash in the three Tests! If deh lucky, deh might get a bligh in the T20 but deh cut-tail book in the other games.” “Big …

TGIF. Tim Gopeesingh is farse. And outta place! He was on the radio the other day. And Rudy Indarsingh. And Roodal Moonilal. And Gerald Ramdeen. And Devant Maharaj. And, probably Wade Mark and Rodney Charles. And, of course, Kamla Persad-Bissessar. I have a queasy stomach so I have no idea …

And the Express’ Michelle Loubon tried no less hard to avoid using the obvious word. But it was …

More or less 20%. That is the share of the newspaper market that the Guardian has enjoyed (if that is the right verb) for several years now.  It is also the figure that, according to a former Guardian editor of fairly recent vintage, is more than adequate provided that that …
