West Indies Cricket Fans Forum
West Indies Cricket..Lovely Caribbean Cricket!
West Indies Cricket Forum, operating as Cricketwindies.com, is the website of Windies Cricket Fans, a forum community which has served the West indian and Caribbean community in the world wide diaspora since march 4, 2008.
WICF was founded by cricket fanatic, Krishna , who came to USA from his native Berbice in 1972 and began his forum career as a member of Guyana News and Information in 1998. He was also one of the first members of caribbeancricket forum as an avid poster and still finding time to study political science in New York and left that forum in 2008 to start cricketwindies.com.
Over the years, WICF has grown to become one of the world's largest and most influential cricket forums and by far the largest one serving the West indian and Caribbean community globally.
Unlike most cricket forums, the focus of our community is primarily to provide objective news and opinions about cricket west indies and to give our readers valuable information and stories they normally would not get in the mainstream media. Cricketwindies is no different. Most of the stories we covered in WICF do not appear anywhere else, including other community forums most of which focus on back-home (Caribbean) news. That is why there is always such a demand by readers for cricketwindies.
Cricketwindies mandate has been to encourage, support, represent positively and to defend the west indies team players vigorously while appauding them and sharing information. It has done so without fear or favour for going on 9 years.
As a result, cricketwindies has earned enormous respect within both the community and the wider society.
WICF, through its website, cricketwindies.com, continues this tradition. With its content coming from the pages of cricketwindies.com viewers can enjoy their favourite read online, including opinions from their favourite posters together with The Pitch and jukebox, the conversation tree and other features and articles.
About the author
Guyana Diaspora Forum
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Our Blog and Newsletter would not only carry articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections.
It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana. This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000. Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s. The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating. We hope this changes, and soon.
Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly. This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country. Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.
This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines. As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
