Burton reads like a man after my own heart.

if I get lucky I will make a pantheon of such west indians..the fighters,
those who rather risk social ignominy in standing up  for right, for integrity,
for self..refusal to take the shiiite.
I intend to make a glory of such people for all to see and celebrate

We never compared these 2

Should Raymon Reifer be capped for West Indies vs Pakistan ?

OR he has to go back to Barbados to get a Cap 

will not happen


the chief of  selectors will not select him


cause he is embarrassed

In 1899 he emigrated to Demerara which had far less strict rules on colour :
other promising coloured players took the same route ~

As the lone overseas player in 2014 for the Guyana Jaguars side

Barbadian Raymon Reifer is looking to build on his debut season and to grab

the attention of the West Indies selectors

once chosen to represent his adopted country 

for the Professional Cricket League (PCL)[/quote]

Reifer has,served Guyana well

West Indies should select him as they did Tommie Burton

100+ years later 

Reifer selected ! In the squad but is he playing in this England TEST ?  :-\

they do not play Guyanan in WI team
