  BBC SPORT | ENGLAND ON TOUR | Alleyne makes sentimental journey
The last time Mark Alleyne dropped into the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados were playing Jamaica, the ground was almost empty, and the home side were fielding three spinners.
Alleyne had sat in the same spot a decade earlier as Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes opened the batting, the ground heaved with music and chatter, and a battery of four fast bowlers were primed to knock batsmen's heads off.
But if there is one reason for Alleyne to lament the decline of the current West Indies side, it is for his father Euclid, a cricket lover who returned to Barbados where he remained until his death.

 Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Mark Alleyne
Mark Alleyne was born in London in May 1968, but brought up in Barbados after his family moved during his childhood.
Alleyne's leadership qualities were rewarded when he was made captain of the England A team to Bangladesh and New Zealand in 1999-2000, and again in 2001 as they progressed to the semi-final of the Busta International Shield in the West Indies.
Alleyne ensured they were a close-knit unit however, and that the whole took on a greater worth than the sum of the parts.

Yet, as the question mark in the title indicates, Alleyne is not against the idea that the UN should seek to ban ‘bad propaganda’ and promote ‘good propaganda’.
Alleyne suggests this is a response to the nature of the age, which he characterises in terms of ‘the preponderance of international mass media, the phenomena of international spectacles, the Internet and the rise of public diplomacy’ (p.
This dovetails with the meta-argument which Alleyne makes about the discipline of International Relations: that the field should take account of cultural matters (such as how the public image of the UN is constructed in media reports and film narratives) and embrace postmodernist and constructivist approaches.

 Mark Alleyne - Gloucestershire - Players - Stats - ECB
Alleyne’s contribution to the game, and Gloucestershire in particular, was highlighted at the start of 2004 when he was awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List.

Alleyne stood down from the championship captaincy in 2003 to take over as player-coach at the club following the departure of John Bracewell, but he continued to take the helm in limited-overs cricket.

 Sport | Alleyne proves a reserve of strength
What was intended as a bit of forward thinking brought immediate dividends for the Gloucestershire coach Mark Alleyne yesterday when he returned his best bowling figures for three years.
The first, and the most angry, was Mark Ramprakash, who began the day averaging 74 and made his feelings known when Alan Jones judged he had edged the ball to Stephen Adshead for only six runs.
Clarke was more circumspect after the break, taking 17 balls to move on by two to 62 when he aimed Alleyne away through straight midwicket, got a fat leading edge and holed out to Philip Weston at short extra cover.

On Saturday Alleyne's resourceful batting against New Zealand A had almost magically squeezed a three-wicket win out of an unpromising situation, and his fifty in the rained-off game steered England to a strong position on the same worn pitch.
This is the second consecutive winter an England A side have completed a tour unbeaten in all matches, and the undefeated sequence in first-class cricket has been extended to 36 matches since 1994, a fine achievement and a burden for each successive A squad to shoulder.
Alleyne signed off yesterday with a classy 54 off 78 balls on a pitch that made driving and pulling an awkward proposition.

 Global Lies? by Mark D. Alleyne : Booksamillion.com (033392004X, Hardcover)
Mark D. Alleyne explains why the UN has run a propaganda program, why it has been defensive about it, and the role that project plays in international relations.
Through the use of critical theory, the book makes a fascinating connection between a range of seemingly unconnected international phenomena, such as the Olympic Games, the celebration of Human Rights Day, UN peacekeeping, Hollywood movies, the campaign to free Nelson Mandela, and soccer's World Cup.
Alleyne's incisive analysis is the needed tool for understanding how modern international relations is as much about the manipulation of symbols and ideas as about war.
