Trinidad finish Guyana off by 141 runs in West Indies 4-Day final, Leroy and Cheryl settle in
TT Red Force complete a clinical pace-led demolition of Guyana Harpy Eagles at Sabina Park to lock the 4-Day title. Leroy wants the parade; Cheryl wants the scorecard. De Statsman keeps the receipts.
LEROY (Trinidad, lounging): Eh-eh. Tell mih one ting. One. After all dem years a Guyana actin like dey is de natural home of regional cricket — wuh just happen on dat field?
CHERYL (Barbados, dry): Trinidad’s pacers happened. Hundred-forty-one runs. Second innings collapse. Read the scorecard, Leroy. The cricket spoke.
LEROY: Cheryl, doh be modest! Dis was a demolition. Red Force come in, Red Force lift de cup, Red Force gone. Yardman, where you is? You was supposed to be here for de noise.
YARDMAN (Jamaica, off-screen, half-asleep): Mi did watch di first day. Mi go bed.
LEROY: Yuh see? Yuh see how Jamaica only show up for de T20? Dem cyah handle de long form. Test cricket is for grown men.
CHERYL: Test cricket is for grown men who can bat for sessions. Trinidad batted for sessions. Guyana did not bat for sessions. That is the actual analysis.
LEROY: Cheryl, why yuh always so cold? Let me celebrate, nah? De man dem from Guyana coming wid all dat oil money and dey cyah even hold a bat for two days straight.
CHERYL: The oil money is irrelevant. The seam movement at Sabina Park is the story. Their batters chased deliveries that were not there to be chased. That is a coaching problem, not a finance problem.
DE STATSMAN (footer): Final: Trinidad and Tobago Red Force defeat Guyana Harpy Eagles by 141 runs at Sabina Park, Kingston, to win the 2026/27 West Indies Regional 4-Day Championship. Match-winning second-innings pace bowling from the TTRF attack. Guyana’s batting collapse came in the final session of Day 3 and the morning of Day 4.
LEROY: Yuh see what de man say. “Match-winning.” Trinidad. Champions. Write it down.
CHERYL: Written.
