The New Democratic Party rejected the big tent theory of electoral politics when it disavowed the decision of its Marriaqua Constituency Counsel. In rejecting Kirk Da Silva and selecting Bernard Wyllie, the NDP leadership showed that it lacked the political experience and acumen necessary for winning after spending the last 20 years in opposition. The NDP did not only reach back into its past by selecting Wyllie as its candidate in the next elections, but it also went way back, 20 years in the rearview of history in selecting Wyllie. Wyllie last contested and was badly trounced by ULP Girlyn…

Mohammad Nabi’s career-best figures, the third-best in Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) history, led a spin demolition of the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. He was well supported by Rakheem Cornwall and Zahir Khan, and Cornwall followed up with a brief but brilliant assault that took any remaining tension out of the chase for the St Lucia Zouks. After Zouks’ captain Daren Sammy put them in, the Patriots had yet to score when Nabi dismissed both Chris Lynn and Nick Kelly. Lynn continued his run of being dismissed by spinners, pushing a simple catch back to the bowler, and Kelly…

The Trinbago Knight Riders continued their dominance of Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2020, bowling and fielding superbly to blow away the Guyana Amazon Warriors top order and completing what could have been a tricky chase on a slow pitch with time to spare. Sikandar Raza opened the bowling and turned his first ball sharply but his sixth went straight on to bowl Brandon King, and Khary Pierre deceived Chandrapaul Hemraj and Nicholas Pooran to leave the Amazon Warriors 12/3. Pollard sensed blood, putting himself under the helmet practically on the batter’s toes. Ross Taylor was positive, pulling Raza hard…

Fri, Aug 28, 2020 There is a whole generation of young people who have grown up or were born under a Gonsalves government (2001 – 2020). This generation has seen their life opportunities diminished and many have grown up in poverty, low income households and under an appalling education system. The poor education system offered by the ULP regime, coupled with a badly run economy, has led to a vast number of young people leaving school with little or no prospect of long-term unemployment and therefore, a life of destitution and poverty.
