Watching the opener Emilio Gay yesterday batting on a juicy wicket. His debut, his skill factor to a second innings 50. Asked to play for Windies before his England debut. He turned it down for higher things. Gordon Greenidge turned down England for better things. Different era, different times.

Grenadian father an Italian mother but he's represented Italy....seems like a typical mixed race Henglish many of whom couldn't care less about the black side of their heritage.....would rather lose with bona fide Windians ....no great loss just like Bethell!!

@CCW

That is harsh is it his duty to play for the wi simply because one of his parents was born in the caribbean a place he might never have stepped on .they were many caribbean born cricketers that have reprsented england in the past
