Canadian Cricket extends congratulations to Captain Jimmy Adams
and members of the West Indies Test team for " True Grit"
performances in the current test series against Zimbabwe.
Colin Croft defines Jimmy Adams as "one of the most determined
cricketers" in the world. After losing his World's Number One
Batsman Ranking and going through a very lean period, JC -
"Superstar of Courage despite Adversity" has come up smelling
Roses. "Some men are born great ......,"
With his recent sterling undefeated century, and sharing in a
record breaking partnership with Franklyn Rose, another favourite
especially of Toronto cricket, (Franklyn Rose's 69 runs were also
a personal best), the pair epitomize the phrase:
"When the going gets tough, the tough get going."
Congratulations and continued successes to the talented
Zimbabwean team as well. World and especially youth cricket
must surely benefit by such 'character defining' events! The
game is not over "until the fat lady sings." Play on.
"Tough, refusing to quit, lion-hearted & ready to go:
Courtney Walsh, of course, new World Test wicket record holder,
deserves and will receive the world's adulation. A true prince
and a gentleman, from Mississauga and all across Canada, "Jacko"
and legions of your admirers, salute you and your crowning
accomplishments. We look forward to seeing you in Canada again
soonest.
Your pride and work ethic are examples not only for cricketers
but also for all youth in the West Indies, in Canada and around
the world. Keep on trucking, "Cuddy". We hope that we get an
early opportunity to truly say thanks.
Cricket Talk: Vol.1 Issue 1- March 17, 2000. Congratulations
on your inaugural issue and we wish you best of luck in the
future. We look forward to seeing much more of you in Canada.
Of course, your cover with Toronto's Sahara Cup star performer,
Sourav Ganguly, will meet with no objections on these shores!
Congratulations also to newly installed India Captain, Sourav
Ganguly.
In summary, Jimmy Adams, Franklyn Rose, Courtney Walsh and Sourav
Ganguly, persistence and performance from cricketers who have
heart, who will not quit. There may be more naturally gifted
or talented players, somewhere, the gentlemen above give nothing
less than 100 per cent.
