I hear all the insular talk...its always in the media..it was always in the media even as I grew up. but the atmosphere around me in Trinidad was never insular. as far as I know Titty people preferred Bajan and Guyanese player to our own players. Trinidadians felt players like Joey Carew, Brayan Davis etc were jokers. but all west indian players were never treated insular in Trinidad.
when I met other west indians it was the same. they looked at all west indian players for quality..not which island deh were from. they had to be good. that is what west indians rated...if you good or not.
its the media who always with insularity. repeat it so often deh put it in people mouths and minds
My parents travelled to Guyana frequently and as responsible parents, they did not leave us behind, I discouvered Bourda!
A magical place and for me the best place to watch cricket in the Windies....
I often walked from members to the wooden seats and sat on the floor....ground as we say in the windies.....listening to the big men who gave me sweets and food....
