It was tough to watch the gutless capitulation of the Guyana team in the recent Four-Day Regional fixture on their home turf at Providence against a Barbados unit that was thrashed by Windward Islands in their opening match of the tournament. Despite a creditable performance by the Guyana bowling attack dismissing Barbados for 184 and 186 in their two innings, it was the visitors who throughout the contest exuded confidence in successfully defending those low totals, dismissing the locals for 140 and 94 respectively.
A slightly better showing in their second home game against the Windward Islands ended in a draw, but with another hour of time and good light the contest could have gone either way. Yet another weak batting performance there did not exactly inspire confidence. So then what could have been better to ease the pressure on this woeful Guyana unit than a match away from the glaring lights of the home field against bottom of the table opponents Combined
