only two people have said islands should go alone. Darren ganga, who out of emotion to the persecution of bravo and pollard, and by extension, the friends ramdin, narine and rampaul, players who he groomed from boyhood, said something like that, which he later pulled back on. Brian Charles Lara, a man virtually blamed by some prominent west indians for the death of the game in the caribbean, absurdly so has not turned his back on WI cricket, even though playing for it surely shotened his life span by at least ten years. Ganga is a committed west indian. The other person Tino best, wrote in his book that he'd love to see barbados go it alone. And Tino said the reason for that was that he noticed that he got little support within the team with him only singling out lara, vasbert drakes and germain lawson as supportive. nopbody of sound mind and body would advocate for the disolution of the WI because we are too small to compete with any major cricketing nation. Cricket is not like athletics or swimming that relies more on physical gifts and requires little start up capital, save the cost of renting a facility. we all know hew expensive cricket equipment is
