Interesting article; but obviously written by someone who knows very little about cricket history.

Ian Meckiff (AUS) was run out by Joe Solomon (WI) with the scores level to…

You can be certain but you’d be certainly wrong.

Its not entirely accurate that the “WICB is giving players no money or support.” The issue is that the WICB and the players’ union agreed to reallocate funds that would nomally go to the team into developing the game at the grass-roots level by funding the Caribbean Professional League. Of course, most of these…

I hate that stupid “Champion” song just as much as I hate hearing “Rally ‘round the West Indies” used as an anthem. Its long past time for the WICB to commission a proper cricketing anthem.

I’m so not in your demographic since Colin Croft (look him up) was the head prefect of the high school I attended as a 10-year old in 1970. I dreamed about playing for the West Indies but my family - like many middle class Caribbean families - migrated to the U.S. But I still “bleed Maroon” and follow the West Indies…
