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
