Friday November 4, 2016 PRESS RELEASE Editorial Prime Minister Harris calls Challenges and Consequences for Win-Win Situation at Once upon a time in Nevis, there was a referendum on secession. Global Forum in Georgia The result was an almost unanimous vote in favour of separation from the great Trinity of islands, but the results were brushed aside by the Rt. Hon. Chief Minister, Robert Bradshaw. Fast forward to 1978 when Dr. Kennedy Simmonds refused to accept the result of the election within the constituency in which he contested, and challenged the results in the High Court. The chal- lenge was upheld when the Judge determined that voter intent on the spoilt ballots was clear and declared many of them valid and countable. There were enough spoilt ballots to change the out- come of the election, and on the recount, Anthony Robiero, the Labour candidate yielded the seat to Kennedy Simmonds. But instead of allowing Dr. Simmonds to take his seat in Parliament, the then Premier, Lee L Moore refused to hold a Parliamentary sitting and eventually called a snap election in 1980. The result of that election was that PAM won 3 seats, Labour won 4 and NRP took the two Nevis seats. PAM and NRP formed a coalition which gave Dr. Simmonds the Premiership and the rest, as the saying goes, is history. In 2011, former Hon. Vance Amory (in Opposition) refused to accept the results of the Nevis Island Assembly Elections in which NRP was declared the winner, 3 seats to 2. The CCM challenged the results in the St. John’s district and eventually, the Judge ordered that the seat be vacated, leaving each party CCM & NRP with two seats each.

Over the past seventeen years this format has grown leaps and bounds and is very keenly watched by all stakeholders involved with the game. The popularity and the growth of T20 has led to cricket boards taking this format with uttermost seriousness and every major cricket playing nation has its own international team and domestic league. Over the past seventeen years the strategies involved in succeeding in this format have also evolved and teams at the international, franchise and domestic level are trying to evolve their playbook to gain a comparative advantage. Seventeen years since T20 cricket started, preparation for matches globally have changed from casual chats in team meetings. For coaches and captains, dossiers of 25 pages are common; these dissect the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, suggest set-plays, which are the optimum ways that a bowler can set up a batsman, and explain the best parts of the ground to target and which end might suit each bowler best This research paper will delve into a potential winning strategy for a T20 side.

  • The Story of Football in Trinidad and Tobago 1893 -2000
    The Story of Football in Trinidad and Tobago 1893 -2000 Chapter One Kick-off THE Trinidad News and San Fernando Gazette of June 6, 1893, was not at all happy with what was happening in the Trinidad society during the year. The paper reported that there was growing corruption among the youth in the colony which was the direct result of the invasion of Government offices as well as stores and estates by strangers from the United Kingdom. In its editorial entitled ‘Agricultural pursuits,’ the paper noted: “What with the invasion of government offices, of stores and sugar estates by strangers from the mother country, more particularly from Scotland, and what with the growing corruption of our young men by frequentation of places of evil, gambling halls, dignity balls etc, our youth of the better classes are in a fair way of becoming a nuisance to themselves and their country, instead of, as in other countries, forming the main factor of the moral, intellectual and physical wealth of their native land.” The paper continued: “It would be knocking our heads against a stone wall to find fault with Scotsmen who now have the dry goods trade and the management of sugar estates mostly in their hands because they send their poor relatives or friends from Scotland to fill situations of emoluments under them. We believe our creole youth to be brighter than the young strangers who are imported to occupy posts which of right, should be theirs and with the knowledge they have of people, their ways, their language and their wants, they would certainly be more useful.

  • Performance Analysis of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 Ananda B
    Sri Lankan Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol (14-1) Performance Analysis of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 Ananda B. W. Manage*, Stephen M. Scariano and Cecil R. Hallum Sam Houston State University Huntsville, Texas, USA 77341 Corresponding Author (Email: [email protected]) Received: 13 February 2013 / Revised: 15 May 2013 ABSTRACT Performance analysis of cricket players is always an intricate task due to the correlated nature of the variables used to quantify contributions to the team. Lack of transparency of current methods, probably due to commercial confidentiality, creates a necessity for new and lucent evaluative methods. Here, we present a simple, yet straightforward, method for analyzing the performance of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 players that can be easily adapted to other team sports. Keywords: Cricket, Principal Component Analysis, Ranking Methods. 1. Introduction Quantifying individual player contributions to a team is an important yet difficult task in all team sports. Usually, there are several indicators available to measure player performances, which are based on different aspects of their contributions to the team. Unfortunately these indicators are mostly related to each other in a manner that oftentimes causes difficulty in constructing an overall performance measure. Our idea is to use a tool acquired from multivariate statistical analysis and apply it directly to T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 data. In this method, the first principal component is used to rank batsmen and bowlers. The technique is simple and can be directly applied to the type of correlated data routinely found in team sports such as cricket. Cricket administrators and sports analysts can use this amenable method to quantify players’ contribution, which could lead to a ranking structure based on their performances.
