"to be honest we knew Jofra for a long time. He is from Barbados where we are from" Now is this a slip of the tongue or is the Bajan coach so immersed in the preferential culture that he is unaware that "we" ARE NOT from Barbados. Simply disgusting!!!

Get some sleep man
We need to assign a player to beat him almost kill him with the blade. Shots almighty..Maybe the blood might come out maroon colour.
Andre Russell could be the one fi dat!
Do these people really say these things or are these comments grossly embellished? I look forward to the day when no one says anything before a match. The banter and hype is honestly quite annoying...
