I looked at the weather forecast -says rain in the afternoon...not sure if this has happened and that's why we can't hear anything.

Keon Joseph has been around for some time now.. he is 25 turning 26 soon. Haven't seen that much of him and when I have he has looked fairly innocuous..one time however he looked really good, fast, threatening and hostile..not sure which is the 'real' Joseph. His first class record is pretty good and he has performed consistently when given opportunities with the A team.

We will not buy 'puss ina bag' or as you Bajans say 'cat in bag'. We need to see your work and make an assessment. Then again you might start off good and fall off badly, like a certain well known Caribbean commentator.

Maybe if you show your stuff on Sat and you pass muster we could pay for Sun. lol lol lol

If there is one thing I have learned doing business in the Caribbean over the years it's that if you don't get paid up front you likely will have to wait at least six months for payment or you will get no pay at all smile

FIRST MATCH REPORT:

It's pelting rain in Kingston this morning. Bag juice salesmen and saleswomen likely will take the day off. Timely start to the day's play highly unlikely.

CHEK DAT. The match is in Trelawny, not Kingston. Assuming that it's raining in Trelawny because it's raining in Kingston is like assuming it's raining in St Lucia because it's raining in Barbados smile

Even in trelawny the weather varies. It rains more in the cockpit country of South trelawny than it does in North trelawny.

Greenfield is in South or north trelawny? It's Florence Hall right?

Greenfield is in northern Trelawny. Cockpit is more central to southern.

According to Cricinfo, the only reason why Pushpakumar is not in the SL Test team is because Herath is still around, he looks like he ready for prime time with this performance.

 
Walco 2017-10-21 17:35:28 

OK, here’s my match report. Well maybe not a match report, but a report nonetheless smile

So I drove up to the stadium and approached the main gate where I was told by a pleasant gentleman from the JCA who told me the admission fee was $500, which I paid.

As the JCA official was opening the gate to allow me to drive into the stadium grounds, he asked whether I would give a ride to the stadium to one of “our” selectors. I said yes and asked if it was a JCA selector and he responded, “no a West Indies selector.” A pleasant gentleman with a bajan accent got into my car and I immediately asked if his name was Courtney Browne. He responded yes, and a long conversation about West Indies cricket ensued.

But to make a long story short, I saw very little cricket even though I was there at the stadium. A few things to report though. I commented to Browne that Cornwall looked smaller in person than he looks on TV, and Browne responded that Cornwall has lost 30 pounds since the CPL. I left the stadium after the West Indies lost the first wicket (Campbell). It does not appear that I missed much.
