Rivalry In Sport

Sun, Sep 6, '26 at 9:11 AM
Children in Australia and England digest their distaste for the archenemy with their first feedings. That distaste grows and festers into full-blown detestation by the time they are six or seven and playing in the backyard. Steve Waugh reports in Out Of My Comfort Zone that whenever he and his brothers contested “Test” matches nobody wanted to be the “Poms.” We wanted to be one of the Chappells, or Lillee, Thommo, Dougie Walters or Rod Marsh, never Grieg or Edrich.”

Conclusion...Guyana dominate Trinidad overall...but in T 20, you feel there is no rivalry between them...ok then. SO whem them comms say they are the biggest rivalry in CPL T20, guess they aint know what they talking about
