West Indies had the last laugh



St John's (Antigua), May 30 (IANS) Even a week ago, the West Indies cricket team didn't have much going for it. And it didn't take long for one to be in the Caribbean to be aware of its standing with the public.

On my way to Port of Spain I had to transit at Bridgetown, Barbados and, while waiting there, went to browse at the airport bookstall.

Talking to a rather tall, lean gent at the stall, I mentioned I was in the West Indies for the cricket series against India and he quickly flashed a wide grin at me and said, 'Hey, I got just the thing for you.'

He introduced himself as Kemmerick Harrison and said he had compiled a book of jokes. He pulled it out, flipped over the pages and read out: 'My son made a kite. He couldn't find a long tail. He called the West Indies cricket team.'

Not only did Harrison get a laugh out of me but also a few dollars for his compilation.

Later, while in Port of Spain, I mentioned this joke to a local who promptly came up with another: A little boy went to his father and said he was going to run away from home because his mother was beating him all the time. When the father asked where he would go, the boy replied, to live with the West Indies team, because they never beat anyone.'

Well, these jokes now surely belong to the dustbin. Their 4-1 win over India in the one-day series has given fans renewed faith in the team. The taxi driver who took me to the Port of Spain airport as I left for Antigua was already eyeing next year's World Cup: 'You know,' he said with a straight face, 'Australia will be a bit tougher.'
