Just when you thought they couldn’t get any more “wukliss.” The West Indies were crushed by the English, losing by a whopping 283 runs, the heaviest loss since 50 years ago. Dear God! How much must we as West Indians take? Really? After their clearly subpar performance at the Cricket World Cup, this happens? Sometimes I wonder if we should just drop cricket like we’re dropping the sugar industry. Both are vestiges of colonialism. But I dare not say this aloud, as I don’t want to be endure a whole heap o’ cussin’, ’cause, unlike the sugar industry, cricket swims in our very blood.

In their defense, England made an impressive 570 runs. But I didn’t expect this, especially after all the talk about revamping the team. And promising young stars like Jerome Taylor and Devon Smith seem to have caught the complacency of the seniors, as they performed pitifully. I don’t understand how they can afford to be, as last time I checked, you’re normally complacent when you’re dominant. In the meantime, George Headley and other cricketing greats roll in their graves.
