West Indian supporters may long remember Day Three of the First Apex Test between Kraigg Brathwaite’s West Indies and Joe Root’s England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. Day Four they will want to hastily forget. It rained—H2O from the skies intermittently and runs from the …

Rain interrupted proceedings five times in the course of the second day of the First Apex Test match at the Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound in Antigua. But at the end of the kind of day that frustrates West Indian cricketers, thanks largely to an unbeaten 75-run partnership between …

“[Joe] Root won the toss…” It was a joke, not meant to be taken seriously. It was. Bobby had clearly prepared himself for the eventuality. “Check the record, bro,” he hit back. “[Brian] Lara recaptured his record in the Fourth Test, not the First. And when a class batsman is …

Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales got Kraigg Brathwaite’s West Indies quickly out of the blocks on the first day of the first match of the Apex Three-Test Series. But it was the in-form who built three successive partnerships to ensure that Joe Root’s England endured to the last, recovering from …

Sonny Ramadhin’s recent death reminded us that more than once MCC tinkered with the rules. The changes may have helped England in 1957 but they certainly haven’t really helped them do all that well in the Caribbean at any time. Their last away series win in the 20th Century came …

“[…] There would have been at least two major disappointments for West Indies selectors Desmond Haynes and Ramnaresh Sarwan. For starters, the prodigiously talented Shimron Hetmyer has now not played a Test match for the West Indies since November 2019.  “[…] Hetmyer endured a most miserable time [in the four-day …

“[…] While the Red Force team seems balanced, skipper Imran Khan could have utilised his impressive bowling attack far better. At times it seemed as though the West Indian fast bowling trio of Shannon Gabriel, Jayden Seales and Anderson Phillip were under-bowled. “[…] Inexplicably, the two most senior players in …

The Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, named after iconic West Indies and Trinidad and Tobago batsman Brian Charles Lara, belonged to 26-year-old off-spinner Bryan Charles today. Confused? So were the Jamaica Scorpions, as Charles finished with 6/48 with the visitors skittled out for 141. Scorpions stars Jermaine Blackwood and …

“[…] This isn’t just another regional season about to begin for the Red Force, it’s the beginning of a new era. The squad selected is a good one with core players that one can describe as youthfully experienced—young players with enough first-class experience, led by the veteran leg-spinner Imran Khan.  …

“[…] Kemar Roach’s ODI stats are not in any way indicative of his abilities as a consistent and reliable wicket-taker. 124 wickets captured in 92 matches played equates to less than two per match. “There is absolutely no questioning the value that Kemar Roach has provided as the West Indies …

“[…] Since making his debut on 10 June against South Africa, 20-year-old Jayden Seales has captured 16 wickets in just four Tests, while demonstrating the pace and accuracy that are the hallmarks of all great fast bowlers.  “[…] However, during 2021, the West Indies’ […] final win/loss ratio was a …

“[…] The inability of both Rahkeem Cornwall and Jomel Warrican to be anywhere close to as effective as Sri Lanka’s spinners on the benevolent Galle Stadium pitch should now establish once and for all their inadequacy as Test match bowlers. “The same pitch on which they toiled so ineffectively to …
