Bajan fans in English gear cheering on the England team

When God made that Island, he knew Barbados would not have the resources like Guyana, Jamaica or T&T, but the sun and sea would provide the resources for its people.
God bless Bim.

Be reminded that both Bethell and Archer still have family and friends who would naturally support them. I am positive that is who was seen. However, in recent times, West Indians have not been purchasing tickets to attend cricket matches (this may be tied to their poor performances), so CWI sold the bulk of the tickets to Barmy army and other England supporters. Barbados also has a large English expat group.
I do not support any player choosing to represent another country in a sport we play, and I do not apologize for that position. I don't count Salt, even though he grew up here he was not born in Barbados but in Wales so in my mind is free to play for England. I have said before that I hope Bethell and Archer like all England Players have a miserable tour, make little runs and take little wickets.

Cheer fi who yuhwant but drop di damn pretense about giving a damn about the region the team etc.

Wow. I'm still trying to figure out how you know these spectators were Bajan. You must know for sure before you spewed such vitriol at them. Perhaps you are talking about the 2 or 3 young black women I saw with England shirts on. I never saw them before so I cannot say whether they are Bajan, English, African or for that matter Guyanese. I do know having been to the cricket on previous days that the bajans (based on accents or familiarity) I saw were cheering for West Indies even as we struggled. I went there with my cousin who was visiting from England and has lived there for some 40 years. As a proud West Indies supporter he would be saddened if what you said was true but even more disheartened by your invective employed in addressing the matter.

It would be upsetting to me too if Barbadians were cheering for an opposing team but its disappointing that you would using the type of language that itself fuels the fire of anti-Bajan bigots like Imusic. Bigotry does not emanate only from our former colonial masters. Some of the worst bigots preoccupy themselves with tearing down their own.

Finally I seeing Guyana getting some respect

Prior to 5 years ago, people in the Caribbean used to treat Guyanese worse than a stray dog.

You must be young. Decades ago Guyana was the land of milk and honey. Thats why there are so man Brathwaites still there

One could use placards/posters to show support fir individuals/ family members separate from cheering fir the visiting team.. I saw Yardies big up Dean Headley, Ntini and others but cheered racously for WI

Simple bro

In reply to Chrissy

Look wunna barely like um, how come wunna ent see that every time Salt and Bethel hit a boundary the Bajan flags and West Indies flags were the flags waving, what is wrong with people supporting who they want to support, that is a right to defend, the British press and photographers will show what they want the people in England to see……bajans will always support Jordan, Jofra and Jacob regardless who tek the responsibility for their advancement, so go and drink some water and mind wunna rh business……Barbadians they all are regardless…..

In reply to cherri

In reply to velo

BS WI cricket is every WI bizniz
Explain what waving a WI or Bajan flag has to do with an Englishman hitting a boundary. When Greenidge hit fours did the union jack get raised? When Small took wkt did WI flag guh up? Defraites, Dominican flag?
WI defending retrograde steps. Know ah gonna get cuss an' called pot 'salt' (pun intended) and newbie but I too doan give a RH when truth is to be told.

In reply to Brerzerk

People did get blue vex when Dwayne Bravo was reported to say T&T first then WI.

Wurl nuh level

....



What an arsenine statement from the senile originator of thread..

In reply to sgtdjones

Assinine unless you intended a slight such as
(Arse-inine). Now, whether or not you did you are going to say you did.

In reply to Brerzerk

tell me did we use flags in past days. You post on another thread that yardies "Big up " J'cans players in the past , is there a difference between 'big up and cheering.

It's only recently that i know the meaning of "big up'.

When Bim played BG/ Guyana in the early 60's 49 % of the fans at the oval cheer for BG/ Guyana was this wrong.

What I saw on the 2nd T20 was a small group of amount 10 women and children cheering as the English captain hit a six and members of the Jacobs family and friends party cheering for Jacobs.
