Jacobs’ side of the story; his batting slump explained

He was once regarded as one of Guyana’s brightest batting prospect, almost poster boy like and expected to deliver the goods.

However, Steven Jacobs, who is a year shy of his 30th birthday, is today a shadow of the bright batting prospect he once was.

Some have cast blame on the ‘system’ – the structure of Guyana’s cricket for the fall away in his batting while others have attributed his downfall to his own doing.

But whatever the cause, his fall from grace, has been until now unexplained.
