Kanhai to be honoured as Berbice’s greatest ever Cricketer
August 16, 2014

– Portrait to be unveiled at PMCC

Former Guyana and West Indies captain and batting legend Rohan Kanhai would be honoured by the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) as the Ancient County’s greatest ever cricketer. The batting maestro who played 79 Tests for the West Indies became the second Berbician to play Test cricket after John Trim when he made his debut against England at Eagbaston on May 30th 1957.

Rohan Kanhai
Chairman of the BCB Special Events Committee Hilbert Foster, who is spearheading the Board’s Diamond Jubilee celebration, stated that Kanhai was not only a great cricketer but an outstanding ambassador for Berbice.
In tribute to Kanhai, the BCB as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations would be unveiling his portrait at the Port Mourant Cricket Club (PMCC), while the main pavilion at the ground would now be named after him.
Kanhai scored 6227 Tests runs for the West Indies with 16 centuries while his highest test score was 256 not out versus India. He and fellow Port Mourant legends Basil Butcher, Joseph Soloman and Ivan Madray were products of the Clyde Walcott era when the former West Indies player and legend was based in Berbice.
Kanhai scored 29250 first class runs from 421 matches with 89 centuries. Kanhai captained the West Indies team in 13 tests and played a crucial innings of 55 in assisting Clive Lloyd in a match winning partnership during the 1975 World Cup finals vs Australia.
Like a rare diamond, he sparkled among numerous stars, Sir Frank Worrel, Sir Everton Weekes, Sir Clyde Walcott, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Wesley Hall, Charlie Griffith, Conrad Hunte, Sonny Ramadin, Basil Butcher, Alfred Valentine, Lancelot Gibbs and Clive Lloyd.
He was the first West Indian of East Indian descent to captain the West Indies and was named the ICC Player of the Year in 1964. In 2009, the Golden Jubilee of the ICC, Kanhai was named among 55 inductees for the ICC Hall of Fame, the most prestigious and highest honour a cricketer can achieve.

Greatest batsman  from Berbice would have been more appropriate . Gibbs was a great bowler but there can be  no comparison with a batsman and a bowler.
Greatest bowler of greatest batsman  etc.  but not greatest cricketer as  the disciplines cannot be compared

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now. This cannot continue into another series; we must not allow it to.(15.07.2025, 14:52)(14:52)0
