Support the West Indies!!!!!!

 

SUPPORT THE WEST INDIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==============================================================

 

It is that time again !!!!!

In the early hours of Thursday morning, West Indians all over the World will be “nervous” and “jumpy” again.

Why?

Because the West Indies battle not only India in the ICC Champions Trophy, but also more importantly, themselves, their own demons and their insecurities.

As a people, cricket is more than just a game for this region; it is our bond against the World, and our Saviour against depression and the demons that exist all around us.

So on Thursday, support the West Indies as best as you can, in your own way.  Some people are superstitious (Don’t change), some people are prayerful (Don’t change), some can’t help themselves, but be optimistic always (Don’t change).  As for those who are negative, try to confine that to your personal habitat.

This is out time, a win here by the Brian Charles Lara led West Indies will guarantee us a place in the semi-finals.

We do not want to have to wait until our final match against England on Saturday to know our fate.

All we can do is support them and remember we have beaten India on five of the last seven occasions; we have met in one-dayers.

Also remember this match is personal.

Sachin Tendulkar is there for India at home, and Lara plays at his best when we knows Tendulkar has the attention on him.

Expect fireworks, but expect victory.

This is Andre Errol Baptiste, saying have no fear, the fearless one is here.
