Looking for a live match on the radio via tune in, I found ABS radio from Antigua broadcasting the Leewards Island versus Guyana. Tagnarine Chanderpaul, Shivnarine's son made his first class debut in this match.The Leeward Islands'side managed to draw the match.This was the regional 4Day tournament.While listening to this match reminded me that even Ranji finals and Irani Cup does not have live ball by ball coverage on All India Radio.There was a time though that one heard the commentary of plenty of matches live on radio in India.Cricket has moved into the realm of commerce rather than something to be engagede with.
The Leewards match on Antigua Broadcasting Service made way in the afternoon for coverage of the funeral procession of Winston Derrick, the media personality in Antigua.From a small island in Antigua, it is only through cricket that one can learn about their society, culture, media and even history all over the world.The audience may not be large but it can be significant.Cricket is only the medium to make an entry into a society or a nation.
