?John Bravo, father of T&T cricket allrounder, Dwayne Bravo, is sending a message to Prime Minister Patrick Manning to not come to Piarco airport when the team returns home. "Tell Manning don't come by the airport. We don't want him up there," an angry Bravo told the Sunday Guardian shortly after the T&T team lost the final match to New South Wales Blues in Hyderabad, India last Friday. "He aint give the boys nothing." Bravo was referring to the Government's alleged lack of financial assistance to the team and the help they solicited from an Indian firm. "We don't want the Government in the airport," John insisted. He said he and a Cantaro possee are planning to go to the airport. "I have to go to welcome my son home."
He said he expected the team to win the league but felt good, nevertheless, because they gave 100 per cent. "They played Australia, who had eight Test players on their side. "Is cricket... If you know cricket, so it is." T&T cricket captain, Darren Ganga's entire family went to India to support him and his brother, Sherwin, Barackpore MP, Nizam Baksh said last Friday. "But we're planning a celebration function for he and Sherwin with their original cricket club, All Apaches. "This is the club they played with from small." He said Ganga's grandfather was a cane farmer in the area and his father is a retired school teacher.
