Former Guyana and West Indies captain Ramnaresh ‘Ronnie’ Sarwan will officially announce his retirement from all forms of cricket on Thursday September 15 at 10:00h at the Stella Maris Primary School, Woolford Avenue, Thomas Lands.

Good luck to you Sars! 

I recalled that article Crofty wrote about you:  "The R could be for Rohan"  We all had high expectations!

For many ardent West Indian followers and supporters over the age of 45 or so, remembering the great batting traits of Guyanese Rohan Babulall Kanhai is like a very pleasant dream, especially when he was paired, in the mind and on the field of play, with the incomparable Barbadian, (Sir) Garfield Sobers.  These guys operated mostly in the 60's.  One such situation developed in 1968 when England were the tourists.  Kanhai made 150 and Sobers made 152 in the Bourda Test match.  Believe me, the grass actually became brown after such a shellacking.

Well, I am here to tell you that the same will again happen sometime in the not too distant future.  Ramnaresh Sarwan of Guyana and Sylvester Joseph of Antigua & Barbuda and the Leeward Islands, two of the youths of the future West Indies cricket team, would most probably emulate their legendary counterparts.  These guys, young as they are, inexperienced as they are, will be very special in their own way when they eventually take center stage, which is already here, in a way. Let us see what we find when we put the microscope on Sarwan.

Croft would never have guessed a man named Hilaire 

Ernest.

and Opiss....

Sarwan is one of only 11 Test batsmen to score 4000+ runs batting at no 3., and only Richie Richardson and Kanhai scored more runs batting at no 3 for West Indies.

thanks Dili, i was not aware of that fact!

Go for Cameron job

Lets pitch Viv Richards into the mix as well !

# 3 is incidental : Sarwan 291 equaled his career HS, both versus England. 

Could have been a WI great. They totally killed him.
