Love the pic. I cannot understand why one Guardian is calling Lara "the Michael Jordan of cricket", that makes no sense.

Yuh know after reading so many letters from Trinis fighting mad wid de Guardian fuh calling Lara the MJ of cricket when the Guardian was only quoting Obama, ah start wondering, all dem negative comments and letters ah does read about dis issue and dat issue is how close dem writers read de articles dey complaining about cause ah know how quick we does be tuh complain cause I does do it mihself.
Buh yuh know I eh see dat picture in no Yankee papers and eef Obama take orf he shut dey does put dat picture in de papers. Steups oui

Altho de Guardian has been known tuh publish dotishness before .... like de big ass headline when Giselle Salandy died ...... sayin "Jizelle Knocked Out" ...... I really doh see de big deal wit dis one ...... i.e. whether they said it ..... or whether Obama said it ...... cuz at de end of de day ...... they're both hottt ...... and they're both Legends .....
Trinis are born wit ah grousing gene that's all ...... and the photo may not have made yankee papers ...... but it starrin on de White House website tho (and other foreign websites too) .......

Haha, amazing. It's so funny that the best players of this British game are from ex British colonies. Too bad it's not so popular in the US, I would love to see some of those baseball players try cricket instead! This photo is really priceless
