A pleasant Test-match Friday to you all.
Two days ago, one Mr. Roger Sawh - a law student in Canada, paid tribute to his country-man - veteran West Indies middle-order batsman, Mr. Shrivnarine Chanderpaul. That tribute, kindled some fond memories of my own.
"Do not go," I advised my two sons, during the third nPower Test match at Old Trafford back in June 2007. Shrivnarine Chanderpaul was twitching more than usual, before close of play the evening, just like how one Gordon Greenidge, would begin to limp. Both idiosyncrasies, are never good omens, for opposing bowlers. But, my two sons too, were twitching as well - to go down to London. And, they did. Duly, 'the crab' completed yet another Test hundred, the following morning. And on their return, my two disobedient sons, were raked over the coals.
These days, the tide beneath the little left-hander, is beginning to ebb. And the Selector-in-Chief - his fellow country-man, might now want to send him a pontoon. Not throw him overboard. Because, the little man has served West Indies cricket well. He now deserves asylum. But he, like many of us, doesn't have eyes in the back of his head. And so, he's oblivious to the stage manager's beckoning - "come-come-come."

ah wonder who can this fat lady be?
