In Defence of Darren Sammy

Jamaicans have always; and continued to believe that they have more intellect than others. The same holds for Barbados and Trinidadians.

Bravados but nothing material in their brains.
Las; only St. Lucia in the Caribbean has excelled in the World with TWO NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS. And in two critical areas: ECONOMICS and ENGLISH LITERATURE.
Put that in their pipes and smoke it.

These so-called larger countries in the Caribbean continue with a chip on their shoulders thinking that they have something more than us. Fairyland; I say; since so many of their countrymen are running waway from their countries; and being treated like dogs in other people's countries.

Fortunately for them; we in St. Lucia have a tendency of treating the bajans, guyanese, jamaicans and Trinidadians with decency; and not like dogs; as other countires treat them and snob them; especially the jamaicans and the guyanese.

We need to boycott those countries who seek to demonize our people. We must not stand for that crap.

This is one reason why we in the OECS ought not to facilitate those persons in the larger countries in the caribbean; who when it suits; them; when their countries have gone bankrupt and in turmoil and chaos; want to preach and even demand regional integration; and are even calling in certain quarters for a common currency; when their countries have no foreign currency reserves to put in the kitty.

We cannot allow empty-headed politicians to doom us for life; based on low petty partisan politics calling for regional integration; which will never benefit the peoples of the smaller OECS countries. We can take care of ourselves. We do not need the larger countries as HISTORY has shown us; over and over again.

Blogger above; I certainly share your sentiments. Thank you for putting it so well.

We will not stand for that crap as a people. We must unite against anyone who seeks to destroy our own.

The writer needs to be current with his facts. Sammy's last two innings with the bat are two ducks. He creates an imbalance in the team as he not a genuine all rounder on any given day you are not sure whether he will turn up as a batman or a bowler or neither of them. Let be honest he is only on the side because he is the captain. Free rides should be eliminated

Poor chap. He chose to excel in a dying game.

Nationally, Saint Lucia has proven that it can get better name recognition through swimming and football. Both are Olympic sports. Then we can forget, the psychological need to go "Beyond the Boundary", to make us feel whole.

We can have our country's name in the news if we had several players in major league football, instead of giving even the very least attention to insects carrying insults.

Besides, our young men would be making tons of real money too.

This article was constructed on the basis of emotions and not facts. A little objectivity would have been nice, Micah!

Why shouldn't Sammy and others who are representing the region not be criticized? Is Sammy above criticism because he is a St. Lucian? If you don't want others to criticize Sammy, you should encourage him to pull out of the WI Team and have him represent a St. Lucian team in world cricket instead.

Micah this maybe the worst article you have written. In a nutshell it is baseless without any substance . Why would Michael Holding be jealous of Sammy. Mr . Editor please vet the articles in your newspaper in order to maintain a standard of objectivity , fairness and balance .
