if i were in charge of delivering power to 750,000 people asking for either 50/60 Hz power at 110 or 220 V i would probably give up too

We were supposed to get power from the Amalia Falls hydro project, but that fell flat on its face. So we're stuck with GPL generating power via outdated diesel generators.

they got the diesel burning again. though at 41/6 WI probably would have preferred bad light stopped play

Merissa Aguilleira being deservedly harsh on the yubtubs

They just keep on getting hopeless.

I think Beaton needs to find a new profession. This cricket thing is not gonna work for him.

It's very odd how his action deteriorated. I saw him in under 19 cricket and he wasn't chucking. But he has turned into a real pelter.

pretty bizarre Leewards - Jamaica game in the one-day cup. Jamaica set 266 in 31 overs and has slashed 216/7 after 24 overs, Botswain of Leewards has conceded 3/77 off 8 overs

Must admit I've been impressed with Rovman Powell in this tournament. His play against spin has noticeably improved. Worth a call up for the next ODIs I would have thought.

We have a new batting coach, Monty Desai. I hope that he works with the batsmen to rotate the strike more...and getting the scoreboard ticking over. They need to also bat long.

If Nepal's recent rise is anything to go by, Desai does some good work.

In the domestic TT scene Keegan Simmons slammed an unbeaten 122 for his team, but was in vain...couldn't get more details other than the headline...these Trini papers :

I like Keegan Simmons, he has a real appetite for runs and big innings.

So we've had confirmation that Dwayne Bravo has made himself available for T20I's. It has also been confirmed that Russel and Narine would have been selected for India if they were fit. With that news, our T20 side is taking shape.

Evin Lewis
Lendl Simmons (Chris Gayle?)
Brandon King/Lendl Simmons
Shimron Hetmeyer
Nicholas Pooran (wk)
Kieron Pollard
Andre Russell
Dwayne Bravo
Sunil Narine
Hayden Walsh Jr
Sheldon Cotterell

That is a pretty epic side I have to say!

 

[Pup Clarke]

Absolutely no need to select Bravo - just select a better bowling option (Keemo Paul/Kesrick Williams/Fabian Allan or even Holder). Guy is just trying to stay relevant

He's still one of the best death bowlers though and we have had a problem with those overs.
