This Porto-Bantu is intelligent enough to prefer Upper Corentyne, Corentyne, Canje, Berbice, East Coast Demerara, Essequebo, Guyana, West Indies, West Africa, African nations and southern India, Indian nations - in that order.
This Porto-Bantu is cognizant he has Barbados Africans experience in his ancestral heritage. Campbell and Martin are surnames of his ancestors and relatives in Barbados. Brathwaite are linked to Martin. This Porto-Bantu is not aware whether Brathwaite are his ancestral names. He has numerous relatives named Brathwaite. They are descendants of Archer in Essequebo.
Seymour Nurse is his last favorite Barbadian batsman. 1954, Kanhai is the beginning of cricket. 1979 WSC Fredericks is the end. 2014, Hetmyer is the renaissance.
Mother listened to Kanhai at the crease. Father turned off the radio when Kanhai and Butcher were dismissed. This Porto-Bantu only pays attention to Hetmyer and promising Berbice cricketers. Knowledge of self is the highest state of intelligence. It is consciousness. It is the greatest aspect of human existence. Spirituality permits humans to respect every life on earth. Humanity is ancestral consciousness. Understanding the absurdities of imitation Europeans is a mark of intelligence. ethnic and community consciousness enhances natural rights.
The problem with West Indies cricket is the administrators except for Clyde Walcott - the greatest known cricket brain in West Indies cricket - have all failed to eradicate malfunctions of the European construct from the regional game. The cleavage to European construct as political geography as the mark for selection in West Indies teams is the cross suffocating West Indies cricket 1995 -2024. It took a Shamar Joseph performance reminiscent of greatest West indies internationals from Tommy Burton to Learie Constantine in the pre-test match era – and from Constantine to Walsh, Ambrose and Bishop; to win a test match in Australia. It is possible there is no Guyanese African without Barbadian African heritage. However, Clyde Walcott remains the only cricketer and administrator who promoted the rise of Guyana cricket. Until recently, Ambrose, Roberts and Roland Butcher made great contributions to Berbice cricket. Ambrose returned this Spring 2024 to coach in Berbice. This Porto-Bantu advocates the rise of Berbice cricket and Guyana cricket. He grew up hearing Berbice won one match and drew another with Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago. The old timers never mentioned Arthur John Richardson and Demerara cricketer were in the Berbice teams in the late 1930s.
Berbice batted well against England in the mid 1950s. The bowlers were mediocre.
What are your thoughts on fast bowers in Berbice, and Guyana in 2024?
Joseph, Smith, Thorne and Shepherd; plus Motie, Permaul, and Sinclair can bowl out any first class team in the West Indies twice in matches in 2024. Berbice has Hetmyer and Anderson. Berbice needs two top class batsmen and an outstanding wicket keeper to dominate West Indies championship.
Loved the fact Thorne exposed Kraigg Brathwaite as the mediocrity he is in West Indies championship 2024. This Porto-Bantu rates Holding’s performance against Fredericks, Kallicharran and Lloyd in 1975 at Bourda as the best exhibition of fast bowling he has ever witnessed.
Desmond Haynes is delusional. His absurdities has no boundaries. No brain can consider Haynes is truthful in his statement he choose Hetmyer over Mayers. This Porto-Bantu strongly doubts any resident of Fort St Andries - the current psychiatric institution in Guyana - accept that nonsense. Haynes is a liar. Haynes’ statement does not reflect the squads he has selected. Haynes is the perfect exhibit of the quagmire known as Cricket West Indies.
