Dear BU,

Don’t know if you are a lover of cricket (the game); maybe you can help.

The Advocate published an article, “Arise, Sir Conrad” 3 Jan 99 after he was knighted. I don’t have my copy (usual stuff: ‘you will get it back’)- but I never did.

I would like to reproduce and readapt that article come Jan 2009 ten years or so after Sir Conrad’s passing. The last PM chose his specifically. Cant seem to get any joy from the Advocate.

Sir Conrad was to revive W Indies cricket starting in Primary schools because of his moral stance in life (Moral Rearmament) and his belief in equality of humanity.

I was freelance (Theology, Cricket, Politics) and interviewed him before he went to Australia never to return. That was sad. I belonged to his club Empire CC

    Re: Luther G Francis on Sir Frank Worrell and President elect Obama.

    See bro Francis’ Letter to both newsprints today 2 Jan o9

    1. I concur. (Sir) Frank captained a Commonwealth team to India (1950s) while in the English Leagues. The team comprised top English and Australian players.
    2. They must have seen leadership qualities there when the original captain (Les Ames) withdrew. Yet in WI the capataincy was handed to caucausian Denis Atkinson v Australia (1955) with the Three Ws in the team. 3. WICB stated that that “policy” was agreed upon before the tour started. The Board of that era passed down their disgraceful ideas to people like CEO Stephen Camacho (Guyana) in the 1980s
