Of cricket, fashion and birthdays

My dears, can we talk? Luvs, this here scribe is one of those who believe that Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller should refuse to meet with Dr Julian Hunte of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) until he or his board apologises for the intemperate remarks directed at the prime minister a few weeks ago. This will be adhering to the standard set by the WICB, that for them to consider entertaining Jamaican cricketer Chris Gayle, he must first apologise for daring to express his opinion.
And frankly, my dears, if Chris Gayle were to apologise, he would have lost the moral and nationalistic high ground. And so he should hold fast and continue playing cricket internationally, while West Indies cricket continues in its death throes under the expert and professional guidance of those now guiding it to the pinnacle of stardom.
