Looks menacing on the TV diagram :

To the millions of viewers 

* Thanks to the internet, cricket stats, especially the obscure ones,  are now readily available and are plastered on TV screens in every match.

* Decades ago, wisden was the only source of stats. But that's no longer the case.

Can I ask a genuine question?


I find the above to be absolute rubbish and had it come from anyone but a Guyanese I would take more note.


Do Guyanese have an inferiority complex?


Are the feelings expressed above genuinely true?


I returns to the region at least  a couple of times every year and I have never come across this nonsense.


I have heard and been part of discussions where Shiv was discussed in very affectionate terms with the occasional comments of batting with the tail etc. everyone I speak to is full of praise for him and how he has rescued the team on numerous occasions.


I thought Ramesh's question a pertinent one althought give I am sue he had not intended it in that way.


Shiv has been very positive in the past and now he bats as if scared to get out. Does his over cautiousness rub off on the  on the other youngsters given his seniority.

Yeah .....nexx question 

It is a genuine question.


I appreciate the history of ethnic differences in Guyana has been prolonged and quite traumatic, more so that T&T where the population profile is similar.


That question was neither intended to be facetious nor condescending?


But every time I read an item there is that undertone.


However the most important question was the second one.

Quality minds ask quality questions and get quality answers. On the other hand, stupid minds ask stupid questions and get sarcastic answers or no answer.
