Carlos Brathwaite or.... Carlos !!? …Breath,…wait ..!!!


....I can a’ready see In Shaa  Allah, this gutsy young Caribbean  stunning the cricketing world in the next decade with his ability to make the fans’ breath(s) wait and change the bit rate in the dead end of the matches. Haven’t seen the 70s and was too young in the 80’s to be enthralled by the incredible Caribbean power cricket with the likes of Clive Lloyed , Viv Rechards, Gary Sobberse, Gordon Grenees , Joel Garner, Malcom Marshal (...Too excited to get these legend’s name spelling  corrected guys…!!!) . But, I could sense that the long lost calypso melody was getting back on world cricket’s tune when I saw Darren Sammy’s big stride wild swings sailing straight over the bowlers head in 2014’s T20 world cup in Dhaka.
World cricket has been changed a lot over the years. Or should I say it has added more colors then ever in last 10 years or so !!? New formats are introduced and got popular, new teams have emerged as prospective cricketing sides. But to the 90’s world cricket fans like me, I guess something was missing for a long while.  I guess we were too tired to see the commercial and political influences suppressing the pure quality cricket for more than a decade. Yes !!, cricket fans like me were thriving to see the true talent, the side with no other intention but to plat cricket, coming out presenting the  beauty of mastering the art of applying raw power in the battle field, defeating the commercial and political show off scumbags for good.
In my word , these Caribbean Islanders have taken a very strong and bold first step to reinstate ‘ free of pollution cricket ’. They made a statement clear to the entire sporting world : “ This is the beauty of cricket. The notoriety of shamelessly blending money and muscle with sports gets defeated and the original cricketing spirit prevails.”
Ma shaa Allah , Alhamdulillah… Thank you very much indeed West Indies …..!! Thanks for saving cricket.

You are the true deserving 'Champions'....
