Pakistan Beats West Indies Wins Test Series

The Caribbean Is One Nation.                                         Roston Chase  By Danyal Rasool Dominica bid farewell to two legends of the game in a most fitting manner, giving  Younis Khan  and  Misbah-ul-Haq  the most heart-stopping send-off possible. History beckoned time and again, torturing and teasing them. It made them wait, it made them wonder, it made them despair. But, with six balls left in the game, the series, and their careers, came perhaps its most satisfying moment. Shannon Gabriel , West Indies' No. 11, had spent just over half an hour at the crease, and had seen out 21 balls. See out one more, and it would leave  Roston Chase , who was batting on 101, to face the last over of the match, the last over of the series, and dramatically raise West Indies' chances of saving the Test. Gabriel had kept out those 21 balls by trusti...

Violent Acts Against Jamaican Children

One Caribbean Nation. Jamaica National Flag Jamaican Children The news out of Jamaica that 1,147 crimes were reported against children  last year, must be horrific news  for all regional citizens, who continue to advocate for the safety of our children.

We know that there must hundreds or dozens more, who have not reported these acts for several reasons and this makes the picture even more frightening. We can only let the figures speak for themselves and continue to urge Jamaica and all regional governments to place the protection of our children as a number one priority.

Shame on Holness

Mr. Andrew Holness       The news out of Jamaica is that the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party JLP wants to have a referendum, to determine if Jamaica should be a part of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CJJ). Once more the noose is being drawn tighter around the already choking neck of the regional integration movement. We would have thought that Mr. Andrew Holness, the young, dynamic and recently reelected leader of the Jamaica Labour Party, would have been more in tuned with progressive thinkers in the region. If the new breed of Caribbean leaders, of which we include Mr. Holness, cannot be more enlightened, it means that crapaud lining up to smoke we pipe! Others may opine, that to expect him to be any different, is an excursion in futility since he is the political godson of former prime minister Mr. Edward Seaga, who was known to only make decisions that enhanced his political ambitions and whose legacy will be the nefarious garrison politics that he used so w...
