If West Indies still fancies itself as a six- hitting boundary type team, then we will continue to make up numbers at World Cups as was the case in the 2024 T20 championship.

With four rounds of competition for a possible total of nine matches to win it all, the pressing question now is not whether West Indies will triumph in T20 World Cup 2024, rather it is all about the squad’s final 11 composition, beginning with the opening encounter against Papua New Guinea today.

By Orin Davidson World Cup fever is spreading as the countdown to  cricket’s biggest  showdown is intensifying less than three weeks away from the 2024 T20 Championship Guyana’s Providence Stadium, slated to host three games,  will be under the world’s spotlight where West Indies’ quest  to capitalize on its home advantage  will  begin against minnows  Papua New Guinea.   

Well done  Harpy Eagles, you won the war and  battle at the same time.

It’s three games into the Indian Premier League (IPL), for Shamar Joseph’s Lucknow Super Giants and  if one is surprised he’s  not yet  played, unless  things  change today in game four,    it is a justifiable reaction.

The accolades cannot be enough for the splendid performances of Guyana’s champion athletes at the just concluded junior Carifta Games.

 Kevin Sinclair is different to the contemporary West Indian cricketer in more ways than one.

You’ll have to roll back the years through decades of  West Indies cricket   for a similar feel -good.  

Set aside for a moment the brilliance of Javon Roberts, Tianna Springer, Anisha Gibbons and the rest of the medal winning track athletes, Raekwon Noel’s blockbuster five-gold haul in swimming  took the cake in an outstanding Easter weekend of exploits for young Guyanese athletes.

If it wasn’t an event  as serious  as the Presidential elections of the Guyana Olympics Association (GOA), one could   easily dismiss  the drama surrounding today’s ballot as this country’s equivalent to Comedy Central.

Facing some of the world’s best 100-metre sprinters didn’t faze Emanuel Archibald, who, however, completed a satisfying day’s work on Day One of the World Athletics Championships yesterday in Eugene, United States “It was good for me and it shows what could happen when you exposed among the best,” said Archibald after a steep improvement in the heats after making it from the qualifying rounds earlier in the day.

It’s not one or two, but a multitude of reasons why Phil Simmons should be relieved of his misery and be replaced at the helm of the West Indies team.
