Dear Editor,
I crave your indulgence in allowing me space in your Newspaper to ventilate my anger, and displeasure on Guyana’s substandard performance in the final CPL match against Jamaica. The theme for the CPL matches was, “WE COME OUT TO PLAY.” It was abundantly clear that Guyana did not come out to play. Their performance on the field was most humiliating.
The late famous commentator B.L. Crombie would often say and I quote him, “It is not the winning that is so important but it’s how you play the game.” I was never so dejected watching the madness of Guyana’s Team Management. Jamaica did not win this game it was gifted to them by Guyana. It was simply bizarre watching Sarwan tamper with the batting line up. In hindsight I do believe Sarwan did not take his medication that Saturday night. I wondered at one instance, if the team’s management weren’t inmates who were recently released from St. Ann’s Psychiatric Hospital in Trinidad. Such was the utter madness displayed.
How in God’s precious name could Sarwan send Sunil Narine and Ramdin before Franklin or himself? In the entire series Ramdin showed no form, that any confidence could be bestowed on him to do a good JOB for Guyana, above all was Sarwan afraid to go out and bat? It certainly looked that way.
As a Captain, Sarwan was expected to lead from the front but instead he panicked, and was trembling in his boots. His Captaincy in the penultimate match was simply brilliant but all his good works in that final match and the entire series went out the window. Such gross stupidity by Guyana’s Management is simply unforgiveable and unacceptable. There is another important point that I would like to ventilate. This particular point calls for one to use their imagination, a facet that is devoid of this generation.
It is within the realms of possibility that Kishmar Santokie could have been spoken to by some his countrymen warning against contributing to Guyana’s success against Jamaica. We know the fierce loyalty that Jamaicans have for their country. Never in the entire series, did we see Santokie bowl the way he did, something was very suspicious about his performance. In my humble estimation blood is always thicker than water.
