I'd like to see Posters adopt good

Cricketers that are NOT from your own

ISLAND.

I remember a struggling Shai Hope quite

early in his International career, with

DEMONSTRATED CLASS at the Local level

But with the bad luck of a Ram-Puss

Internationally.

I believe that it does HELP a player

if they realize that CRICKET FANS -

Not necessarily Mom, Dad and FAMILY members

Believe in their ability.

The tendency to only DEFEND players from

one's own local territory really CHEAPENS

the DEBATE.

Because OBJECTIVITY becomes MINIMIZED.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.

As we approach 2020 .... Think on these

Things.

In reply to Yadi Bang on...as the guyneez used to say. I for one, would always adopt players from other territories!

Keep posting Yadi

Season greetings.

In reply to Yadi

Thank you. You too.

In reply to B16JP587S

I have already set the example by defending

Shai Hope of Barbados against UNREASONABLE

attacks.

I am Jamaican.

In reply to BeatDball

I am also proud that no Jamaican posters

were whining because King got limited opportunities.

The truth is when a NEW player gets an

opportunity he needs to make it COUNT.

In reply to sgtdjones

I distinctly remember when lil-Bravo kept

Nicholas Pooran out of the limited overs

final eleven.

In reply to Yadi

and territory because you know Guyana is not an island

Happy Holidays brother

In reply to Chrissy

Merry Christmas, Prof.

In reply to Chrissy

To be honest I don't detect so much ANGER in

Guyanese or Jamaican Posters...

But I see posters going after Pollard.

I see posters going after Hope.

Going after Jason Holder.

And sometimes there is no REAL REASON for the

CRITICISM.

In reply to Chrissy

Cherries used to defend her Baje players ...

But I teased her ... so she tone it down a

bit.

A number of Bajans are not amused by the

Anti-Bajan sentiments ... But they are too

proud to say so.

So them just nobother post.

In reply to Chrissy

The DUKESTER fiercely defends;

Hetmyer, Sarwan ... Kemo Paul ...

The fact that they are Guyanese

May be purely COINCIDENCE.

In reply to Yadi

How did lil bravo keep Pooran our? You mean the little idiot had so much power? Now like the big idiot, you’ve come to victimize again, even though he bats 3/4

In reply to Yadi

You know Jamaican cricket fans tend to be among the least insular supporters among West Indies fans.

- In 1968, against England, Sabina Park was packed each day despite no Jamaica being in the West Indies team;
- Jamaican fans did throw a few bottles when (Guyanese) Basil Butcher was given out;
- Again, in 1977 'Bina was packed every day against Pakistan, yet no Jamaican was in the team;
-In 1978 against Australia, Jamaican fans did kick up a bit of rumpus when (Barbadian) Vanburn Holder was given out by (Jamaican) umpire Johnny Gayle;

- Most recently, in 2017 against Pakistan, neither of the 2 pensioners, who typically comprised the bulk of the "crowd", stayed home despite no Jamaican being selected on the occasion of the 50th test match being staged at Sabina Park

In reply to Yadi

Happy imas to you yadi

In reply to jacksprat

Jamaicans also tossed a few bottles

on Viv's behalf.

In reply to Yadi

Was that the one narrowly missing Steve Waugh's head?

In reply to Yadi

Are you able to name 5 mudland players who are not currently playing for the WI team?

In reply to jacksprat
