Cricket : 22 yards PITCH - ketchim - 03-10-2014
Providence , Guyana : 22 yards :
Why neither team could NOT score 200 ??
Guyana could not get 100 in their second Innings ...
Re: Providence PITCH , Guyana - ketchim - 03-10-2014
It appears that NO attention is being paid to the Geology of the 22 Yards by the WICB.
Instead of hiring Pybus , why NOT hire a GEOLOGIST :
Like Bourda in the good ole days ?? :-\
Re: Providence PITCH , Guyana - ketchim - 03-10-2014
AND it is not Guyana alone :
the state of the Pitches thruout the Caribbean is NOW a CRISIS... >

Re: Providence PITCH , Guyana - ketchim - 03-10-2014
Now Charlie is a good fellah ...he was hired to answer phones back in the days at 25 a month salary !
In contrast Opiss and Pybus combines is over half a million per annum ...
Charlie ended up as Pitch Curator in charge of a 5 day TEST match pitch ! :-[

Naturally , YOU get what you Pay for ...
Re: Providence PITCH , Guyana - ketchim - 03-10-2014
Why is there NOT a Soil specialist hired ?
A PhD in Geology is much better that Hilaire and Beckles PhDs in trouble making !
