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.

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now. This cannot continue into another series; we must not allow it to.(15.07.2025, 15:52)(15:52)0
