Yes, a very nice read indeed.

Good to see Joe Solomon still going strong.

Kanhai is doing well too.

Lovely article.
I'm wondering- does Port Mourant
still produce cricketers?

In reply to Norm

Yu have any recent photo of Kanhai?

I don't believe I have seen him in 20 years or so

Brilliant stuff!!

I have one from 2012 on my site. Heard recently via Alvin Kalli that Rohan was doing alright.

Joe plays golf with some guys I know and that I play with on occasion. The last time I played with Joe was about 6 years ago. Joe plays well for someone around 80, at the time.

He is an easy going fella with some interesting stories on his West Indies days.

No.

Economic support for maintaining cricket grounds, etc, shifted to Albion since the 1970's, after which Port Mourant faded away as a cricket "power". There have been efforts recently (by expatriates) to restore previous high standards, but lack of coordination has thwarted them.

In reply to Norm

Thanks, that's a shame

I am happy I read this. Any story which includes Alvin Isaac Kallicharran is a good read.



On a serious note...noice read(TM Sudden).

Yes true mango pellets don't hit the mangoes, we hit the stalk.
