Guyanese crossed racial barriers to support...

playoff’s contention that begins next week.

Guyana had been struggling in the matches played away winning only one of five played. One match was rained out. Of the six team in the CPL franchises, two will get knocked out in the preliminary rounds. Each team was entitled to ten matches. Most teams completed between eight and nine matches. Their final games are either on Saturday evening or Sunday when two matches will be played. Guyana‘s final two matches were slated for Saturday and Sunday evenings.

If Guyana were to win on Saturday evening against Trinidad, it will move into the playoffs. If it were to lose Saturday and again on Sunday, it is out. If it were to lose Saturday and win Sunday, then it will depend on how well two other tames fared depending on run rate. Guyanese of all ethnicities or national groups supported their team, unlike never before seen. They were all together on the issue that Guyana must win and were there to see their team victorious. It is difficult to say how long this kind of faux will last.

It would be nice if the diverse people of the nation were to carry this kind of ethnic unity in their politics or support for political parties.

Sincerely,

Vishnu Bisram
