The Irish are here! West Indies Cricket returns to Grenada!
Remembering Tony Becca
The news came to me via a WhatsApp from a Jamaican friend on Thursday February 28, 2019 at 8:57 a.m. Grenada time. “Mawnin. Heard that Tony Becca died,” she messaged. “Oh!” I replied in dismay, and immediately set about verifying the information, then sharing the unfortunate news with my family. Still in shock and disbelief, […]
Grenada thanks Chris Gayle!
What a cricket match spectators in Grenada witnessed during the 4th One Day International on Wednesday February 27, 2019!!!

Sunil Ambris – July 2014 interview, Part 1
In 2014, within four months after I had interviewed Vincentian batsman Sunil Ambris for the first time, he was selected to play for the West Indies A team against Sri Lanka A. It was the stepping stone to his eventual call up for the senior team to play in a One Day International in 2017. […]
Introducing Sunil Ambris….
Sunil who? Most people in the Caribbean would first think of Sunil Narine. But this Vincentian first caught my attention during a Windwards Islands tournament about 4 years ago. Living in Grenada, I get to follow that cricket tournament and have been to some of the matches. The batsman, who is brother to Romel Currency, […]
