They actually did it: the West Indies have won the one day series against England. Like Miss Lou, I can only exclaim "what a devil-ment Miss Mattie" or with Paul Keens Douglas, I now have to wonder if the security managed to contain Tante Merle as she tried to climb over the rails to give the boys some bear hugs and all dem juicy kisses.
Did they actually read CLR James' Beyond a Boundary? They certainly played good cricket and with style. What a good way to end the tour: a timely reminder from the Caribbean as the English go through the motions of commemorating the bicentenary of the 1807 Parliamentary Act to abolish the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Bring out the steelpans!!!
