I paid a visit to the BourdaCricketGround in Georgetown Guyana on the last day of the first test match between the West Indies and South Africa and got some shots for cricket fans who visit the flood website.
Hey don't ask me to describe anything, I know cricket as much as I know sewing, zero knowledge about the sport.
The Bourda Oval in Georgetown is one of the oldest grounds in the Caribbean, the only Test venue on mainland South America and the only one in the world below sea level - the venue itself is surrounded by a moat, used by local fishermen, to protect the ground.
The Bourda, which was opened in 1884 and first staged Test cricket in 1930, has a very old-world feel about it with the splendid wooden pavilion at fine leg an imposing structure.
It is one of the largest grounds in the region, with a capacity of around 22,000, but has been dogged by poor weather as it is often scheduled matches in Guyana's wetter period.
