A trench in Tittieland is called a "river".


Just came from Dominica where they call it a "reeva".

They even 'bave' in eet.

I remember the first time I vacationed in Tittie dem locals promised to take me on a "river lime".

We eventually stopped by a small creek and everyone got out. It was only then that I realized we were at the "river". lol

Easy target as Tits generally take a laid back attitude to cricket because they have some much mor to offer unlike other states for whom cricket is the be all and end all of life.

Using sweat on a cricket ball is allowed. But applying saliva to the ball has been banned since the 2020 covid pandemic. Applying sunscreen to the ball is banned, so a player lathered with sunscreen on face and arms should be careful not to put sweat mixed with sunscreen on the ball. I suspect that applying sunscreen changes the aerodynamics of the ball, but natural sweat does not.

Sadly , you missed the gist of what T&T calls a river lime.

It's not the river; it's the company of friends and family. They cook, drink, and enjoy music.
It's often in remote locations.

If they want to swim, they go to the Gulf of Paria, the Atlantic Ocean, the Columbus Channel, and the Caribbean Sea.

The water is not mud brown as your seawall Atlantic Ocean.lol

Without the details of the offence(s) I too am bemused as to the
guilty plea. Picking the seam of the ball or putting substance such as vaseline or even
spit,is not allowed. Sweat when applied is ok from what I know previously.

In any case, Guyana were so much better than all the teams throughout the season,that
the case seems meritless. Well deserved three-peat champs/

Could it be because they got the ball to do more than the other teams?
