The next decade....what's in store?

Will they just check their bloody spelling?

They say you shouldn't criticize because you aren't perfect, but I give myself licence.

I am tired of reading the Trinidadian newspapers and seeing the spelling of one of the Trinidad players - Mr Ramdin. I have seen three spellings of it...

1. Denesh
2. Dinesh
3. Denish

No lie.

Since he is Trinidadian, and the newspaper is Trinidadian, can't the journalists just check with him one day and not just write what they feel?

Same thing with Samuel Badree, or is it Badrie? And is it Reyad or Rayad Emrit?

Come on fellows, don't guess. Just ask. I did that when Trinidad played here a few weeks ago, with Kyron Lynch (thought it was Keiron) and Emrit (It is Rayad, according to the Manager). Of course the best person to ask is the player's birth certificate! Well that's not a person, but you know what I mean.

Oh and lest it be said that I was being biased, I must add that there is a similar problem with the Jamaica Cricket Association's website. They have spelt Mr Findlay's name as Shaun instead of Shawn (I know it's wrong because I asked the young man myself) and Mr Robinson's name as Juwayne instead of Jowayne.

Check your bloody spelling!

(Of course, now everybody will be going through my articles with a fine tooth comb from now on! But if you see a mistak, please tell me.) *wink*
