Saw you at the game last night, all dressed up and strutting your stuff.

Looking good!

Where's Carlos Brathwaite? He's an excellent commentator.



PS. People, don't get me wrong, Nikhil is good.

Breds....a trinidadian will support any west indian player provided he earnt his spot and he's performing. When Desmond Haynes scored a hundred during the second innings of the first test of the 1994 WI vs Pakistan series(a world test championship series between the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the world), there was a pitch invasion at qpo. conversely, when an all white South Africa team played their first test after readmission against the West Indies, Kensington boycotted the entire game because Cummins didn't pick. They booed Brian Lara on his arrival at the crease to author the great innings in the history of this sport. Now wwhile lara being booed in Sabina one week before and Bourda in 2003 was distasteful, there could be some reasoning behind it, Lara had replaced natives of both countries as captain. Kensington booed lara a week after he had authored, at least up until then, the most significant century in 71 years of West Indian cricket history, a description taken directly from Tony Cozier

Bajans have reservoirs of insularity of unprecedented quantities. I remember when chris jordan was playing his first match at kensington as an England player, the vast majority of that crowd was supporting england obver the west indies, including most of the locals. Allyuh ppl different hoss

You have an interesting memory. Lara was revered in Barbados. Rowe and Hooper were far more popular than any Bajan playet of their era. We don't support no one against West Indies don't care if Archer, Bethel Jordan or Salt playing

In reply to Baje

Has nothing to do with Lara getting booed. Carl was revered in Barbados. Lara may have been admired, revered is a strong word though. And this has nothing to do with Lara being booed to the crease at the start of the innings that would culminate in the greatest test innings ever. Unless David Hookes was lying on international television

Nikhil started out a bit like Joel, thick accent and very hyper.

Joel will settle down, he’s young give him a break.
