gotta love the beeb, apparently it's A Joseph but only Joseph when it comes to Shamar Joseph - go figure!

I mean the daftest is when only one Bravo say was playing and they distinguish, even though the players are listed at the bottom of their scorecards, but two with same surname in one game they leave it like this...


Who is Tangerine Chanderpaul?!?!? Son of Shiv?

Also, the commentators are so out of the loop with cricketers from other countries. The ignorance coming from some of the commentators last night was embarrassing.

****ing Isa Guha even stated that Steve Smith was the greatest ever Aussie cricketer. What's the IQ of the audience that they think they are talking to? Brian Lara doesn't even know some of our players...which is laughable.

Shamar's wicket of Smith, I got goosebumps by the buildup on this commentary...

Amazing story just reading about it.

To my shame only just realised Guyana is located in continental South America, so was somewhat confused reading his village was 2 days via boat(which makes a lot more sense now)

I was aware of some of the great West Indian players being Guyanese but this knowledge slipped my mind. Interestingly found Atherton's son, Josh De Caires, great granddad on his mothers side played for the Windies.

Atherton's written some articles about Guyana and his wife's family in the past. His father-in-law was very prominent in Georgetown society.

Couldn't find the original article - I read it somewhere - but a blog posted a copy of it: https://randallbutisingh.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/guyana-green-and-troubled-land/
