Asks Orin Davidson According to chairman of the West Indies selectors Clyde Butts, a new phase of West indies cricket is about to begin.

Not too long ago it was the national cricket,  now athletics is being saddled with unrealistic expectations before a major competition.

Much has been said in the aftermath of  Guyana’s unsuccessful debut campaign in the Airtel Champions League cricket competition, and among the least impressive was the disclosure made by Guyana Cricket Board secretary  Anand  Sanasie about use of money earned from its participation.

A motor accident several years ago may have cut short a promising cricketing career; life, however, is full of ironies, and when one door was closed to Vincent Adams another threw itself open for him to step inEven as the Guyana twenty/20 cricket team reflects on its failures at the just concluded Champions League tournament in South Africa, a former Guyanese cricketer continues to climb the ladder of success in an entirely different field.

All the fanfare, enthusiasm and outpouring of support for the Guyana national cricket team is amounting to nothing in South Africa.

So much for all the sentimental thinking that left Guyana’s cricket team without the strongest possible squad for the biggest assignment of their lives.
