Sabina Park is almost empty.

They will come out when the church is dismissed.

That's fine Chrissy. Cricket been dead there for over a decade.

In reply to Chrissy

Mildly surprised at the condition of the Park. Obviously some good work was put in
to make it quite presentable. And the pitch looks fine for a Test Match...so far. Looks
like it will quicken up tomorrow too.

A lot of under 17 ,boys and girls in the City especially should have been bussed
in free to fill Headley Stand, with parents/guardians at half or quarter price.
The game is dead on the Rock.

In reply to Chrissy

Yous can blame Shallow for a lot of our ills but not for an empty Sabina....cricket interest been dying there for years. Cameron and Wavell did more to help bury it than Shallow

In reply to Logic

Jamaicans are to blame from top to bottom

In reply to Chrissy

And long before them Rousseau (or whoever was in charge when we shut the door on professional cricket in SA with the Desmond Haynes ruling) had an even bigger hand

In reply to Chrissy

WHAT???? C’mon don’t be silly you could’ve played Jamaica vs Australia and still no one would show up!!!!

The only Jamaicans that give a crap about cricket are the one’s posting on this board!!!

In reply to hubert

Im not blaming Jamaicans. Im blaming specific cricket officials who made damaging wrong-headed decisions.

In reply to Chrissy

Google has, deemed you, useless, and absolutely antiquated.

In reply to Logic
Di entire approach to our cricket is shallow.
I een blame any one person but it’s a neat metaphor.

In reply to Edrich
Waaaah!
Google? You need a machine. I relate to humans, dogs and cats.
Go find dem thousands of students young and old or the ferals I take care or have taken care of.
I am totally comfortable with me as are those who actually matter to me.

Carry on. Our team still keeps getting worse while all these little men feeling important

Pompasette away.

In reply to Logic

Jamaicans, starting with the Politicians and educators. Cricket has deterioated to non existent in Elementary
Schools and in traditional high schools too. It was always part of the curriculum and activity throughout the
Island.
Back then,sports was not a ministerial office. Now we do and have had for decades now. It is the responsibility
of govt to see that sports including cricket is in some fashion part of the life of youngsters.
I ain't asking. It should be a given.
Restoration from the tender ages is NEEDED and must be be effected.
So I blame from Top to bottom.
Once cricket was king. Now it is a poor cousin to Soccer, football and netball, soon to be at the tail of Basketball,gymnastics
and even american football.


And do you know what ??? More money is spent on cricket at Sabina Park facilities over the years- one venue- than
that spent on other activities. Lights, scoreboard and all plus a rebuilt venue ( 25-30 Million US) in 2007. Less than 20
years ago.
Why ?

In reply to Logic

Why was it full for CPL while it lasted there?

In reply to Logic


Rousseau and Dehri g got more cussing from me than from almost anyone else in this region.

In reply to hubert
Tell dem.

In reply to Chrissy

The previous Board President is a fellow alumni of Mico. Can''t think
of any substantial things he has done for the progress of the local game.
Less schools played cricket than anytime during his administration which
lasted several terms.

Ground looks great though

Crowd has grown and looks decent. Too much negativity.Like if Jamaicans have time to boycott cricket ? Stewwps!

In reply to hubert

No Star!

That's a reasonable turn out ... looks like more people turn up for the later sessions

In reply to Logic

Bro Logic Rousseau was no where near to WI leadership when Haynes was "barred" The London Hotel strike yes, but unlike Hilaire and Cameron Rousseau engaged the players flew to London and solved an HR/IR problem

In reply to Brerzerk
Truth be told,d things got worse since Rousseau et al
