There is a general perception that as soon as government, or anyone in government, say something about our sportsmen/sportswomen/teams, they ‘get blight’…

Why, oh why didn’t Gary Hunt  just shut up? Wear red today my rass… Even if I did have intention of doing that, I’ll look for something else! Even the PM and the ole Bas is sending congratulations to the team. When it really mattered, and the record will show it, the government wasn’t interested in showing support for this T20 team. And don’t forget Petrotrin who didn’t want to give Ganga leave to go in the first place! Fair weather supporters – all of them.

But let’s forget about that and support the most successful Trinidad captain Daren Ganga, his most able all-rounder Dwayne Bravo and the rest of the TnT squad who has made us immeasurably proud by convincingly winning their matches and reaching the finals. We’ve played New South Wales before and posted the highest total which means in typical Aussie style they will be doing their homework… It’s not going to be easy, but with 1.3m (less the politicians) embattled souls vying for heroes, we have what it takes to win this thing!!
