While conducting my research on the brave men who presented ball by ball commentary to the Guyanese and Regional public, I reached out to a wide cross-section of people to be able to document the various personalities who provided important information while painting a word picture for listeners not at the same venue.

Reds misspelled so many persons' names...

Looks like Guyana had as many commentators as cricketers.
As Reds said, they never got training to commentate so people should not be as critical as they seem to be.
