Re: ****the official CRICKET thread*****

The WI teams seems to be badly out of it and looks like a group not very excited about playing the game. The situation is probably the cumulative effect of constantly admitting that batting is not constructively present. Everybody just seem to be going through the motions and hoping for the best. Th...

Re: Trinidad Blackout (16 Feb 2022)

I wish T&TEC well in their investigation to get to the root cause of this latest black-out. Indications seem to have existed at least since late Dec. when we suffered a less severe national outage, that something in the distribution network was in need of attention. Our key service providers whi...
