 Yeah, we're switching sports now from tennis to cricket. Mariah has remained in Port of Spain for the TNT leg of the Caribbean Premier League sponsored by Republic Bank She had a sit-down with former New Zealand cricketer now commentator and a man who often describes the Jamaica franchise as the Jamaica Tally was Here's Mariah with the excitable Danny Morrison This is what Dotton's about powerful Clinical and can find the sense regularly. So a man that needs no introduction Danny Morrison a lot of love for you here in the Caribbean talk to me about What got you started in CPL? You've been around and the people here. They love you. You're saying you're saying I'm old I've been around been around a long time. You're right as much as the stadium This place is incredible Mariah. It really is and I think It's really great for the starter back in 2013 and so Obviously jumped to the chance the opportunity Feel very grateful to keep coming back year after year And as we keep saying it's so unique here the music the vibe the food You know the entertainment factor about with all the cricket makes our job a lot easier You think about getting in the swimming pool at some kits and having a bit of fun there The Trini posse here in the stands here because this is another unique theater That makes the Caribbean Premier League and the thing about you is you bring a very light element Cricket as much as we have fun T20 format, you know CPL the biggest party in sport We like to drink. We like to dance. We like to have a good time. Talk to me about that element Is it based on your personality or are you putting on a shoe? I think yeah, look at it's part of who I am really yeah And I've mentioned this a lot before when I was growing up my mother took me to drama classes in between sport so In terms of having fun in front of the camera and embracing it as if it was like, you know Just talking to mum on the phone at home It comes quite naturally for me because as a youngster growing up doing pantomime and having fun That's what it was about too. So for me here. I just think you can yes You can get a little bit theatrical and get a little bit up and what have you and you know Dancing with the cheerleaders and lifting them up and then lifting me up and hurting me, but really It is about fun and it really is a great tournament Based on the time that you've been with CPL. What has been your most favorite memory? my most favorite memory I Suppose from a cricket perspective There was a guy at St. Kit's taking a one-handed catch and didn't spill his drink And then he's and then his girlfriend come over and she was shaking him And he still held on to his drink on the board. So from a cricket perspective That is very fond memory And I think yeah, I love getting involved with the crowd. I mean a great time And I think you know gale doing his thing meeting these guys a bit more Not only at a cricket toss but having fun with them and then seeing them socially and Chris puts on some good parties and Jamaica We're there for his hundredth test match That was the second CPL just prior to it So yeah, it's been great getting to know some of the local talent that are really big heroes DJ Bravo the whole thing Winding up current Pollard from time to time. It's a bit But you know, we have a lot of fun with it too. And so some of it's a bit for show but for a lot of us It's in the DNA a bit to have a good time and and do what you do. Yeah, and you do a great job at it I'm gonna put you on the spot, which is your favorite Caribbean country That you are because you're a trinium. We're here It's hard to beat here and the involvement is no doubt But I think let's be very diplomatic Dan here or I each Country each island let's St. Lucia some kids and get a verbatis or Jamaica Guyana here in Trinidad and Tobago It has its own uniqueness because the food's different You know, you think on the streets Doubles and gyros and things at night and then you think about all the beautiful curries that are on offer down in Guyana and here as well The seafood that's on in the two Saints Barbados as well. It's hard to pick a real favorite Because each is quite unique and different. So I like them all. That's because I can Definitely can and I think that's the politically correct answer. Yeah Well, Danny, I just want to tell you that my co-host lands with a cop He loves when you say tallower so before you wrap up this interview. I want you to say it. How you say it For you My I seem to have had fun there Ricardo talking to the the New Zealander. Yeah, as anyone would I think? Speaking with Danny Morrison I don't suspect Lance that when he played test cricket He was that fun. No, no, he wasn't he wasn't I can tell you I was shocked to hear his explanation that as a youngster He did drama classes because now no, I'm seeing that but as a player I didn't seem as that dynamic personality. Yeah, he seemed more serious than fun on the field Well, he was he was serious taking his hundred and and six to test wickets and a hundred twenty six one day international wickets Can't exactly smile around the playing field as a fast bowler. Yeah, when you're looking to get out some of the world's best batsmen Hmm. Yeah, quite quite like Danny Morrison an update though from the women's CPL Sponsored by Massey Barbados Royals just suffered their first loss in the tournament The TK are beating them by 13 runs TK are 153 for 155 for three of their 20 overs And the Barbados Royals falling short at 142 4 7 for the Barbados Royals already through to the final on Sunday We go to break back with more on the zone after this
