There is no cricket in the Caribbean without Politricks. Last year Cricket West Indies held a critical meeting to look at the Wehby report and implement some more much needed governance reform. Alas the Barbados and Guyana cricket associations refused to show up to the meeting thereby impeding the process (disclaimer: they did eventually agree to the same recommendations a few months later). This isnt the first time they have acted in this manner and likely wont be the last. Machel had to jump into the studio to address the issue and ask whether Barbados and Guyana really want West Indies cricket to succeed?

At the back end of last year outgoing ICC chairman Greg Barclay made a few interesting comments about the state of cricket in the Caribbean. He seemingly feels cricket in the region would be better if the West Indies disbanded into separate islands and nations. Machel had to jump into the studio to address the rank paternalism.

Spring has arrived, and so has our ever-growing mailbag.We're diving headfirst into your best questions as the summer of cricket draws near. Keep them coming, we can't get enough from our fellow cricket nerds.
This is episode 238 and it's going to be full of legal back and forth, all about the Langalibalele Rebellion, another little war as the London times called it — it's action at Bushman's River Pass after which British engineers will be sent to blow up bits of the Drakensberg. In 1873 Benjamin Chilly Campbell Pine was reappointed as Lieutenant-Governor of Natal. Pine was a career officer in the British Colonial Services, and this was the second time he was taking up the post of Lieutenant Governor in Natal. His first stint was logged between April 1850 to March 1855 and Pinetown on the hills above Durban is named after him. Then he spent time in the Gold Coast in Ghana, then the West Indies, as Governor of the Leeward Islands and Antigua. His second stint was cut short largely because of how he was going to deal with the Langalibalele affair. Two other colonials will feature through our story this episode, one being Theophilus Shepstone the Secretary of Native Affairs in Natal, and the other was Bishop John Colenso who was a liberal humanist and the implacable enemy of most British settlers. Pine's administration had to contend with the "Shepstone System," a policy of indirect rule developed by Theophilus Shepstone. This controversially separated African and European populations and was a dominant force in Natal's governance during Pine's tenure. While Pine and Shepstone collaborated, their administrations also faced criticism from white settlers over issues of land, labor, and the financing of native policy. The other main character of our tale today was Langalibalele, the hereditary chief of the Hlubi tribe from around 1836. After fleeing Zululand in 1849, he and his fellow refugees were granted land by the colonial authorities in the Escourt District, west of the town along the Msuluzi and Mtshezi Rivers. The town was laid out by Colonel Estcourt In 1847 and named after the British officer. The land the amaHlubi were handed was technically not for free, their obligations included protecting the colony from the San Raiders some galloping in from as far away as the Maluti Mountains. Langalibalele and his people were part of the Shepstone System, granted their own territory seperated from white farms. Ten years after arriving in their fertile rolling hills, Langalibalele headed off to Iswatini, Swaziland, where he'd fetched his head wife, uMzamose in 1857. There was some confusion about what the amaHlubi were expected to do. Essentially, their role was to form a buffer zone in the region and were even presented with some guns for that purpose, and once jobs opened up on the diamond mines, hundreds of amaHlubi men headed off to labour in Griqualand West, returning with valuable goods like horses, and more guns. The people flourished through the 1860s and into the early 1870s and were at peace with the colonial farmers, growing from 7 000 to 10 000 souls, with 15 000 head of cattle. The original 364 square kilometres of their land extended to more than 700 square kilometres. But the relationship with the British was riven by confusion and distrust. Natal was isolated from the hinterland by the formidabble Drakensberg Mountains, and was surrounded by black nations, thus increasing the paranoia of the settlers. The amaThembu and Xhosa to the south were respected, not to mention the amaZulu to the north East. Communication with the Cape was slow along the few roads and by sea, there were also few transport corridors in Natal itself which engendering a feeling of insecurity among the colonists.In Early March 1873 John Macfarlane singled Langalibalele and the amaHlubi out and demanded the registration of their guns in terms of Law 5. Langalibalele said he was too busy and suffering from an illness, and could not be expected to head off across such as vast area looking for his 2000 men and counting their guns. A war was brewing.
In this powerful episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and former West Indies cricketer Kieran Powell sit down with Hayden Walsh Jr. for one of his most open and honest conversations to date. Hayden breaks his silence on losing his Leeward Islands contract a shocking decision that leaves him without a deal for the upcoming West Indies domestic season. He reveals the emotional toll of being given less than five hours to decide whether to enter the draft, a moment that left him confused, frustrated, and questioning his professional cricketing future. The leg-spinning all-rounder also speaks candidly about the lack of top-class facilities in the Caribbean, a frustration he has previously voiced in the media, and how these challenges continue to affect players mentally and professionally. Kieran Powell adds his own perspective, sharing personal experiences of feeling undervalued despite years of service to West Indies cricket. This episode shines a light on the side of professional sport fans rarely see the uncertainty, the mental strain, and the realities that lie behind the headlines. If you're passionate about West Indies cricket, player welfare, or the truth behind life as a professional athlete, this is an unmissable listen. #HaydenWalshJr #KieranPowell #WestIndiesCricket #LeewardIslandsCricket #CaribbeanCricket #PowettPlayPodcast #CricketPodcast #SportsPodcast #BehindTheScenes #ProfessionalSport #AthleteWellbeing #PlayerWelfare #T20Cricket #ODICricket #CricketLife #CricketFamily #CricketCommunity #CricketConversation #WestIndies #WestIndiesCricket #WindiesCricket #LeewardsIslands #LICB #AntiguaCricket Learn more about your ad choices.

In his early thirties, experienced seaman Samuel Champlain joined the crew aboard the ‘Saint-Julien’ on his first Trans-Atlantic crossing. This journey lasted two years and gave Champlain the opportunity to learn about Spanish holdings from the Caribbean to Mexico City. Along the way, he took detailed notes, wrote an illustrated report on what he learned on this trip, and gave this secret account—entitled ‘Narrative of a Voyage to the West Indies and Mexico 1599 to 1601’—to his King, Henry the fourth, who rewarded Champlain with an annual pension.

In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies cricketer Kieran Powell look ahead to the West Indies T20 series against Nepal in Sharjah. With the India Test series in October firmly on the horizon, Kieran predicts a very different travelling West Indies squad, balancing player management with opportunities for fresh talent. The discussion dives into key selection decisions, including the return of experienced names and deserved call-ups based on Caribbean Premier League (CPL) performances. Jordan challenges Kieran on what the West Indies coaching staff will want to achieve from this short series: Will every squad member get valuable game time? Is this tour more about squad depth than results? The conversation also turns to the coaching question – with Daren Sammy's role as West Indies T20 head coach as well as his role as Test coach. Would his potential absence undermine the value of this series, or is this the perfect chance for other voices to step in? Expect sharp insights, squad analysis, and a look at how this Sharjah series against Nepal fits into the wider build-up for the West Indies ahead of major series and tournaments later in the year. #WestIndiesCricket #NepalCricket #T20Cricket #SharjahCricket #CPL2025 #PowettPlayPodcast #CricketPodcast #WIvNEP #CaribbeanCricket #Cricket #T20Cricket #InternationalCricket #CricketLife #CricketFans #CricketLovers #CricketCommunity #CricketTalk #CricketPodcast #PowettPlayPodcast #KieranPowell #WindiesCricket #NepalCricket #DarenSammy #RovmanPowell #WestIndiesvNepal Learn more about your ad choices.

Never a dull day in West Indies cricket. Nearly 24 hours after the 2024 Super 50 final should have started, CWI put out a statement confirming that there would be no champion declared in the competition. Unbelievably they confirmed that neither the Barbados or Jamaica captain presented themselves at the toss, approx 17 mins before play would have been called off - leading to a double forfeit of the final. Machel and Santokie tried to unpick the latest CWI media release that as ever posed more questions than answers. As ever please leave a rating and subscribe to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast.

fWotD Episode 3016: Roy Marshall Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 7 August 2025, is Roy Marshall.Roy Edwin Marshall (25 April 1930 – 27 October 1992) was a Barbadian cricketer who played in four Test matches for the West Indies and had an extensive domestic career with Hampshire in English county cricket. Marshall was born in Saint Thomas, Barbados. He made his debut in first-class cricket at the age of 15 for Barbados in January 1946, and three years later he established himself in the Barbadian side as an attacking opening batsman. After several strong performances for Barbados in West Indian domestic cricket, he was selected in the West Indian representative team. He played Test cricket between November 1951 and February 1952, making two appearances apiece against Australia and New Zealand. With several players surpassing him in the pecking order for Test selection, coupled with a disagreement with his teammates, he decided to end his brief international career and pursue a career in English county cricket.Marshall joined Hampshire in 1953, and after completing his two-year residential qualification period he established himself as one of their opening batsmen. He would form a successful opening partnership with Jimmy Gray that spanned over a decade and was considered at the time the strongest in county cricket. He became a consistent and attacking opening batsman for Hampshire, and in 1959 he was chosen as one of five Wisden Cricketers of the Year. He was a member of the Hampshire side which won their first County Championship in 1961, and was appointed Hampshire's first professional captain in 1966. He held the captaincy until 1970, and retired in 1972. For Hampshire, he made 504 first-class appearances and scored 30,303 runs, a total for the county that is only surpassed by Phil Mead, who played for Hampshire between 1905 and 1936. In retirement, he moved to Taunton where he coached cricket at King's College and was a publican. He was appointed chairman of the Somerset County Cricket Club committee in 1987, a position he held until 1991, when ill-health forced him to step down. He died from skin cancer in October 1992.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 7 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Roy Marshall on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Olivia.
He was born a lovechild, died an exiled nobleman—and in between, he explored the West Indies, built ships for Italian dukes, and underwent a bigamous marriage. On this day in Tudor history, 7th August 1574, Sir Robert Dudley was born—the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth I's favourite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and Lady Douglas Sheffield. I'm Claire Ridgway, historian and author, and today I'm uncovering the dramatic tale of this brilliant yet controversial Tudor figure: - Explorer. - Cartographer. - Naval innovator. - Bigamist. He tried to prove he was legitimate in a Star Chamber case, claimed his parents had married in secret, and later left England in scandal—running off with his teenage cousin and marrying her in Italy, despite having a wife (and seven daughters) back home. From secret weddings and shady inheritances to pioneering naval design and creating the first maritime atlas by an Englishman, Dudley's life was one of ambition, scandal… and survival. Was he a scoundrel, a genius, or both? Watch now and decide for yourself. If you enjoyed this dive into Tudor history, don't forget to like, subscribe, and click the bell icon.

West Indies Australia Daily, 3rd Test, Kingston Day 3: It's hard to put this one into words. Not often that you witness an utter sporting annhiliation, but today West Indies honestly hit the lowest ebb in a century-long and deeply proud cricket history. They're in the 27 Club, and they might not be coming back. On the other hand, we saw a hat-trick!

West Indies Australia Daily, 3rd Test, Kingston Day 2: We've seen it before, then it happened again. Australia reached the evening session having to bat, and the wickets tumbled under a barrage of fast bowling, while Jamaica's crowd howled from the stands. The only problem for West Indies is that they had already been bowled out themselves. On it goes.

West Indies Australia Daily, 3rd Test, Kingston Day 1: Chaos, not from ball one, but certainly from session three. We thought the day-night match might be full of action, but even then, this was a lot. West Indies produced some moments of brilliance in the field and with the ball, but the Australian plan might yet work out.
