  1. The reason why Guyana got no games is because the Guyanese cricket board are full of incompetent personals so they need to get their act together.

  2. How come no match scheduled for Guyana?
    If Guyana keeps getting sidelined, perhaps it is time for Guyanese fans to pledge allegiance somewhere else.
    Bangladesh is all East Indian as a demographic so is Guyana.
    This insult must stop.

  3. A step in the right direction. This guy was all about fitness and knows nothing about coaching a team. What took them so long.
