i suppose the Oropuche is too swampy. You need some hills to get those nice clean fast flowing rivers for liming. You Southeners were always welcome to cross the Caroni and enjoy the north. I grew up in Tunapuna and we were blessed with the Caura river, one of the best for liming, Baptisms etc on the East and Maracas river to the west

I always say that Northeners are blessed with places of beauty,I have been to the Caura River once but I was quite young,never been to all those beautiful places that I keep googling,what beauty we have in TT,if they develop the Tourist Industry we can take away many tourists from other islands.

There is an video on Youtube about 10 most beautiful rivers in TT that I was looking at yesterday. I dont think that Caura even got mentioned. What I learnt was that there are 3 Oropuche rivers on Trinidad. Courland river was the only entrant from Tobago but I have been to Bloody Bay river which is tiny but beautiful with a lovely pool and small waterfalls at one stage up in the hills. For me the pride of South rivers has to be the Otoire. That river mouth to the Atlantic is sooo beautiful.

But back to cricket. JaMO is bossing it again. At least he will go out as a regional bully along with the greats like McMorris, Shillingford, Dave Joseph, Stuart Williams and Devon Smith

I used to enjoy that spot where the sea meets the River,during my youth my parents always rented a beachhouse for 2 weeks,when i mentioned rivers I forgot about that river but also forgot the Godineau,it is quite a big river by standards in Trinidad.I can see our chat may have to go to Back Room .Do you live in Trinidad or abroad.cool

I remember being called Mc.Morris in a Colts match in Skinner Park,I batted very slow from schooldays and admired people Like Boycott,Hanif Mohammed,Ian Redpath in fact,all solid batsmen who never gave their wicket away.

my Dad took me to my first cricket match. Shell Shield 1970. Jamaica v TT. Before that, I devoured all the scorecards in the Guardian so in my mind's eye, I already knew McMorris and Foster, Lashley and Bynoe, Butcher, the Shllingfords and even local heroes like Leo John, Pascall Roberts, Alvin Corneal and the like as even those club cricket scorecards were published in the Guardian. Up to now, I always read newspapers from the back page coming forward!!

I think Leo John should have played for TT more than the one match he played against Barbados,I was at the oval 60s and saw Leo showed the world how to deal with Charlie Griffith,he made a brilliant 85.Iwas always doing the same with Newspapers reading from the back page first.I saw all the players you talk about and on the football field I wanted to be Alvin Corneal,in my time he was magic.A fact you may or may not know,Alvin is originally from deeper south,a place called Fyzabad,you may have heard the name before.

I dont know Fyzabad well but both sides of my family were originally from Princes Town so I grew up on south lore. Charlie King junction is in Fyzabad, right? of course you will know the story behind that.

Pierre has outstanding figures this season.

Yet I’m skeptical given the “quality” of regional batsmen.

Still……Cant argue with numbers I guess.

Just like Warrican recently.

This boy can bat and bowl but he is also a brilliant fieldsman I will always have him on a TT team.
