Shiv on the shore

One day Khemraj "Cowfly" Chanderpaul got vexed. He was a fisherman and a talented cricketer living on the northern coast of South America

near where the Mahaica river drains into the Atlantic.

The thing that vexed Khemraj was that in his village club team other guys were not making runs

Nice !! 

                     

"So I say, 'Man, look there's nonsense goin' on now. I think it's time for me to start trainin' me son.'"

Guyanese have a saying: "One one dutty build dam."

Dutty, a bit of earth; dam, a mud bank.

That is a Chanderpaul innings

                                           

He told me of a challenge he once issued a local cricket luminary on the sidelines of a match at Everest Cricket Club in Georgetown.

"I tell he, 'Man, carry the kid (Shiv) out on the pitch, and choose any one of you bowler. If they hit he, is me fault, is me expense.'

The guy make excuse, say the kid is little and thin and all kinda excuse he makin', and I say,

'Man, in India and Pakistan from the time they born, they play cricket.'

Right, so cricket don't have little and small." 

Classy pic! I wonder how you guys manage to play some Cricket on beach.

~~ We must play Carl and Shiv
That's how we have to live
For us to win this game, banna
Guyana must combine
Hooper and Shivnarine
This match is make or break, banna ~~
