He’s mixed…a lot of that happens in Trinidad and Guyana.Just seen a photo of Solozano. He looks Indian? If so, how's he got a name like Jeremy Solozano?

Meet Jeremy Solozano, son of Enzo and Carmella Solozano. Enzo and Carmella were both born in Naples and moved to Trinidad as children. Jeremy's favourite things growing up were cricket, soca music and his nonna's delicious pastas.
Nah fair enough, I get that. Just the combination of Italian name and Indian face got me. I've seen white-passing people with desi names, and desi-looking people with Anglo names, but that's a new one for me.He’s mixed…a lot of that happens in Trinidad and Guyana.

Trinidad is a very unique place. Some of the names,Nah fair enough, I get that. Just the combination of Italian name and Indian face got me. I've seen white-passing people with desi names, and desi-looking people with Anglo names, but that's a new one for me.
A 26 year old who averages 24 after 45 matches is one of your hopes for a future 'decent batsman'? Ye Gods...We are on the verge of getting some decent young batsmen…Solozano, Tage, Carty. Nothing to beat our chests about.
It’s the West Indies we’re talking about…Ye gods…A 26 year old who averages 24 after 45 matches is one of your hopes for a future 'decent batsman'? Ye Gods...
The windies definitely have the bowling talent at the moment but they won't be serious or consistent contenders until they have a bat in the middle order averaging in the high 40s at the very leastI wish this was true, but it isn't. The only gems are the fast bowlers. Then there's the "useful but not outstanding" in Mayers and Da Silva*, and the "thank **** he's finally test class" in Brathwaite and the rest are crap.
I'd love them to be rich enough to put some of these gun white ball batsmen on Australia/England sized central contracts. Then they might have played some red ball cricket and we'd have found out if they could have made a go of it.
They will however be (hopefully) a lot better now that they've finally had a proper first class season to for the first time in three years. They'll probably beat us by a record margin in fact.
*Happy to be corrected on Da Silva
He’s bowling Philander’s pace and nips it like him as wellHow good is Mayers just trundling in and keeping his bowling average to 17 still
Oh, im not putting Mayers down.He’s bowling Philander’s pace and nips it like him as well
We've done his average a lot of favours. We're good like that.How good is Mayers just trundling in and keeping his bowling average to 17 still
artiro you're a wonderful poster but don't fall into the @cnerd123 trap of the bangla fan who has an each way bet with his teamsWe've done his average a lot of favours. We're good like that.
Speaking for Guyana, cricket is huge asf!Windies folk; is cricket still more popular than football in Guyana and sweet, sweet T & T? How about Barbados?
Particularly interested in the first two places as I read cricket has a particularly strong following among the rural Indian population, which I gather is a pretty large proportion of the total population in both. Also Barbados still seems to produce a lot of world class cricketers.
Reckon you might be thinking of me referring to the Socceroos as "we" in the World Cup forum.artiro you're a wonderful poster but don't fall into the @cnerd123 trap of the bangla fan who has an each way bet with his teams
(i think i've seen you use the collective noun for aus before as well? i think?)
