Look Loy: Thank God for Frenderup; T&T need multiple improvements—plus ‘Froggy’ and Rampersad

The 2021 Cricket West Indies (CWI) annual general meeting, which includes the election of a president and vice-president, was adjourned today due, remarkably, to the body’s failure to reach a quorum in its virtual meeting.

Kraigg Brathwaite’s eighth-ranked West Indies now look more likely to go on to lose the series against seventh-rated Dimuth Karunaratne’s Sri Lanka than to win it. And whether or not they do, some serious questions have to be asked of lead selector Roger Harper and his panel. And answered, one …

It is now clear that the government was vainglorious in suggesting it had a definite, phased Covid-19 vaccination programme. It used the gift of vaccines, which it so ungraciously accepted from Barbados, to mamaguy us. The extent of the mamaguy was underlined when a television station ran again last week …

A winning team. You could safely describe Clive Lloyd’s late Seventies and early Eighties West Indies team thus. Perhaps the tag is also applicable to Vivian Richards’ 1980/90s team which indisputably had what their skipper called ‘the winning habit’. A team that won.

“[…] Jaguars are also known as roaring cats, but the only roars in San Cristobal last night came from Trinidad and Tobago head coach Terry Fenwick and captain Khaleem Hyland. “[…] I am sure attacker Levi Garcia could still imagine himself hearing the Englishman’s voice in his hotel room last …

Guyana head coach has blamed early errors for the Golden Jaguars’ 3-0 World Cup qualifying loss to Trinidad and Tobago, rather than anything opposing coach Terry Fenwick cooked up.
