I can't remeber people in TT against Lara. He had his shear of ctricizen. But why can't he be critized. People was disatisfied with the whole team per se. But the venom came mostly from outside.
Deeks, nuff man from Trinidad hate on Lara at several times during his career. It have a difference between criticism and hate, and it had real haters..
When he now come out everybody was on the bandwagon (as normal).
But then it turn into blaming him for everything wrong in WI cricket and then he would make them eat their words, they would hush dey ass for a lil while then come back strong with the hate again.
Trust me trinis is something else.
Many found WI was a better team without Lara, and ostracize him for being selfish saying the team was too dependent on him etc. I always say, compared to other team sports, cricket is heavily individualistic. No one can hold the bat for you, you have to go and bat for yourself so I never buy into that nonsense.
When last you went to the Oval? You know it even have indo-Trinis who backing India/Pakistan over West Indies normal and formal?
