I hope they look in to this can't understand why the historical batting riches has turned into rags during the last 10 years or so.

Guyana has always produced an assembly line of great batters to the WI team. I cannot think of any period in its history, where they have been so poor of lately.

Chanderpaul was the last great, and since Shiv, and not counting the pretender, no other batter have made it, perhaps Sars could have and Pooper flattered to deceive- the greatest underachiever in the history of WI cricket.

And which territorial side have had a better batting line up in the last 10-15 years?

Batsmanship is a scarce commodity in the WI in the last few years

In reply to Emir
There were worse batting sides from Guyana in the middle 1980's and 90's, however things seem to be not improving since they started playing games on that dead pitch at the Providence ground. That pitch needs to be re-done.

Are you serious?

Kalli, Roy, Lloyd, Bacchus, Timur, Baichan, and many others who could not even make BG team.

Timur and Bacchus could not even make WI team, today they will fly in.

Wrong analysis.

I am comparing Guyana of yesteryear vs Guyana of today. And BTW, you said the same thing I am saying, except you are defensive in your response.

Lara vs Baby Lara, talk about what bitch? Before you try to fix others, try telling yuh fellow Trinis not to fcuk bitches of professional cricketers!

In reply to Emir
In the late 1980's, all of those players except Timur were no longer playing cricket at the F/C level, that's why Guyana batting went downwards. Those players were followed by Mark and Roger Harper, Seeram and batsmen who were too poor to remember.

I am talking from mid 70's to mid 80's.

Guyana batting lil better than TT reserve.

In reply to Emir

I think if wasn't for injuries Sars would've done much better...
Fast forward-also believe young Tage will do well.

In reply to WestDem

In last ten years, Other that Lara I didn't see a cricketer in TT that's footnote worthy.
