Dear Nicholas,

Please ignore the "fans" in here who took a 4 second video made by dodgy crooks and have all but pronounced you guilty.

You see Nick, many of our people are still afflicted with Massa syndrome- they try to bring down their own and who knows what motivation the people that made that video has but we shall soon find out.

Keep on doing well and I know its hard, but ignore the massa lovers, they will be soon be disappointed.

Bump for alien21

"Massa Day"never done.

In reply to granite

Lordy it’s true

In reply to Emir

Can you please send another message to Pooran...tell him to ignore the four match ban even though he admitted to what 'fans' and dodgy crooks did to him..I hope you tell him that Massa syndrome ent had squat to do with him tampering wid de people ball, and for what....

The only people disappointed this morning are you and Pooran.

Pooran afraid of massa..He admitted..

In reply to Emir

Pooran's (admitted) action must be some form of protest for being relieved of his accustomed wicketkeeping duties.

With gloves on he would never have had the opportunity.

Pooran scratching
TT defending
Emir blowing
Massa banning

In reply to granite

Yes, it is sad.

I do not understand the plea, we need to understand more and what exactly transpired. Fans must support players until the full truth comes out.

Some "fans" were all to happy too gloat about Pooran, and that is wrong.

Pooran's parents converted from Hinduism to Jehova's Witness in Trinidad and Pooran, who grew up as a Christian is a deeply religious person judging form his most recent match interview where he praised "his lord Jesus Christ."

We may not share his religious beliefs, but a young man who is devoted to his faith, and one who follows the Holy Prophet Jesus Christ of Nazareth, won't do such as thing.

I stay skeptical of his "guilty" plea.

I know some folks in India were upset at him for his faith, especially when he was in his ancestral city of Lucknow- his ancestors were form Eastern UP with Lucknow being the main city.

He is now banned for 4 games and this is sad, no one should gloat about it.

he admitted it...

case closed.

In reply to Emir

Maybe, just maybe he was following instructions

In reply to Emir

Maybe he followed the Coach's and Captain's instructions.

Even better, Jimmy Adams'.

In reply to Maispwi

Dont start now

In reply to Emir

Hey Emir. What Pooran did and admitted to is shameful. You are only compounding it by defending his actions. Then you talking some crap about his religious faith? So because he is a Christian he cannot sin?


So shameful a West Indian caught cheating against Afghanistan?

In reply to Maispwi
First thing I thought (Bancroftt?)but let’s leave that alone.

Pooran was probably bored and decided to play around with the ball is all I can say. These players should know by now that there are cameras on them all the time.

Polly will surely lament this ill behaviour

In reply to Emir

Lord have mercy....

Now we can move on

Pooran is a natural talent

In reply to Emir

if i was you i would be shame, how can you spring to his defense without all the facts, is it a case in your book that TnT cricketers can do no wrong?

you would be wise to examine all evidence before passing judgement

Some onion skinned fans we are....
To think I was there to destroy the young man career

In reply to Emir

Is what madness is that??
How u bring religion into this?

In reply to conman

izza set ah mad ppl in dis place

In reply to Sangfroid


The Emir gone crazy......

In reply to conman

I think that Emir, the devout Muslim, is being sarcastic.

Well, he has to be.

In reply to cherri

I am disappointed in you- you think you are Massa’s house “employee”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA.




Who are usually the biggest crooks?
Usually he Bible, Quran toting "fanatics" and the Hindu "swamis" in fake disguise.

What dis gotto do with dat ball tampering? Afridi would invoke Allah before he goes and eat balls.



Why this complex among some converted (forcibly or not) ones? Get your identity straight..
Remember Hinduism does not care who or how you worship. Non exclusive clause!!

Disclaimer: I like the kid's batting and was following him since he was 16 or so.

I know what happened.
They are so jealous, envious of the greatest Trini ever born that they ordered him to do a crime for the team and be caught and be banned.
One less great Trini.
Dem spite allyuh.

A crime is a crime is a crime.
Do de time. As simple as that.
Go back to any religious teaching and look see where they tell you in de name of the Lord that that was ok.

People like Emir is like many parents of criminals who indulge them, they can't do wrong; don't admonish them or hold them to responsibility for their actions, so they grow up in the world thinking they can walk on top of others, rob, rape, erc.

In reply to Emir

You are UNBELIEVABLE - two years ago when the Leeward Islander Kieran Powell scored 3 centuries in the Super 50 and was praising "his Lord Jesus Christ" you had a major issue with him bringing HIS Christian beliefs on TV at HIS post-match interview. Now you are positing that because Pooran "praised his Lord Jesus Christ" he must be innocent of ball tampering in India with a billion people watching him do the dirty

You people really are the worst hypocrites that i am thankful i will never meet!

In reply to Judgement
se was Gayle guilty?

In reply to Barry

Oh Barry, you are clearly not on the inner circle. And you claim you know Gayle hahahahahahahahaha. If you say so Barry

In reply to Judgement
waiting ....

In reply to Drapsey

Draps, look all I am saying is this: Nicholas is a religious young man, whether we share his belief or not, is irrelevant. It is not within his character to cheat and the video proves nothing.

I am shocked and really disappointed at some of the comments directed against for my stance here.

Ok, so I might have been derailed by all this focus on religiosity.
As I said, there is really no book that will tell us it is ok to cheat, rob,destroy, etc.
It is the culture, silly! Many mistake that with religion.

I have been very embarrassed and outraged with the Under 19 team culture over past few years with Mankading a poor and upcoming, superior Zimbabwe team couple years ago.
Then that ball eating, I mean holding incident. Who does that to an opponent?
Culture of thieving and cheating sometimes make people feel it is normal, ok to transgress (ir)regardless of what Jehovah or whichever God said.

So, let us not bring in religion as character reference of a violator.

What of you know of God?
