I am a-political, so, no comment on that, but, under Dr Jagdeo's tenure, Guyana's sporting fraternity have had tremendous improvement and visibility worldwide, might it have been squash, cricket, football, and others. England vs Australia and India vs South Africa: We should note the professionalism that consumes the best four world cricketing entities. It is no co-incidence. England's coach, Andy Flower, a tough cookie, emerged from the toughest cricketing school anywhere-politically scarred Zimbabwe. That he managed to be one of their best cricketers, and one-time No 1 rated batsman in the world, shows his determination to succeed, despite the severe external stimuli. He has done exceptionally well. Mickey Arthur is no longer South Africa's coach but he and SA's captain, Graeme Smith, have molded a team that could compete. India is already finding them tough. Another irony is that India is coached by a South African. Gary Kirsten has brought his 101 Test career to bear to allow India to become cricket's No 1. It could not have been easy for Kirsten to be accepted, but he has done an excellent job of guiding sometimes volatile players to becoming a great unit. Australia, like 1990's West Indies, is like a dying elephant. It knows that it is desperately, fatally, injured, but occasionally, it will muster enough strength to trample careless antagonists. Ricky Ponting and Australia will not give up the Ashes, again, without a great, final almighty, death-roll fight!
