Many Guyanese small towns are known only for producing world-class cricketers

who learnt their early cricket there, through some inexplicable junoon,

and then enchanted the world.... :-*

Junoon is actually an urdu word but used very commonly in Hindi as well.

It's meaning is obsession or passion  :-*

Guyana has and will always produce good and excellent Cricketers, like the other regions!

Amongst others Rohan and Kalli are greats the Windies hardly celebrate, especially Kanhai!

I do not know what debutants, especially when they fade into ignominy, and playing for free are of any relevance to this thread!

Why has Guyana turned it around?

I see Jamaica winning again without any world class players....

Have a lovely dinner Insha Allah!

The fact is ketchim, you fight with no facts. You are rude disrespectful and obnoxious!

You play and feel you are the big honcho and I will pursue you, purely because of your inconsistency! For you,Guyanese have one rule and the rest have another! I just want you to be sensible and consistent!

You quote idiotic things and decalare you will reveal people. I am still waiting for you to out me!

I have no fights with anyone but you have proven to substanceless!

The thread is about Guyana's turnaround after dominating the bottom of the table for the better part of the last decade!

I don't know the reason for Guyana's turn around.

I have not been closely following the regional 4 day games apart from checking the scores.

The bulk of the wickets have been taken by spinners which is kinda depressing because these same spinners are not going to bowl sides out overseas. It also suggests that the there has been no real improvement in the pitches.

The batting is just as bad with no youngsters, apart from KB, doing much.

What would you Folks say IF I told you that despite Jamaica being 1st place WINNER :

did NOT supply the W.I. XI  with any members. :-\

What about IF I further claim that the runner up OR 2nd Place did NOT, either ?


Further Mails stressing to point out GUYANA last place Finish : Did ?  ;)

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
