MAPPIPPE,

As I read your thesis, I was transported to the depths of reminiscing about my childhood in a way I had not done for a long time although I do trace my steps when I am there.

Your descriptions were so tangible and I felt I was walking the streets as well.

I felt as if I was reading an accomplished author with a passion for the Isle and diaspora of his birth.

Your vivid words reminded me of 'A Year in San Fernando' by Michael Anthony and you transported me, via your words, as he did.

I have also sat in the all concrete Carib stand as well which was a good vantage point mid wicket ish.

If we ever have the opportunity, we will start in the members and walk around to the vendors and sit wherever you see fit.

Well written MAPPIPPEE, I thoroughly enjoyed reading a wonderful piece of writing.

The Colonist coined the name MudLand for British Guiana when they realised it had no sandy

beaches like the rest of the Caribbean

Natives were referred to as MudHeads.

LanceKraigg’s time is up. He has never truly moved on as a player. Despite being captain and senior batsmen we will lose nothing with investing in a rookie.

He has given his service as an honest and wholehearted performer and would leave with my heartfelt thanks for his contribution.

“his era” but he wasn’t better than Brian Lara whether it’s numbers wise or just plain batting talent and skill
