  • BBC Learning English Words in the News 4Th February 2009 West Indies to Get Its First White Cricketer
    BBC Learning English Words in the news 4th February 2009 West Indies to get its first white cricketer Brendan Nash is expected to become the first white cricketer to represent the West Indies in a home test in more than 30 years. The Australian born player is in the squad to face England in Jamaica, his parents' birthplace. Our Sports News reporter Alex Capstick reports: It's a most unlikely homecoming. Brendan Nash was born in Perth, Western Australia. His family had moved from Jamaica. He was a good cricketer but ultimately failed to make his mark in Australia. It was during the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean that he decided to move to the land of his parents. Within a year of playing cricket for Jamaica he was included in the squad to tour New Zealand where he made his test debut. His inclusion had divided opinion. For racial reasons some people objected to Brendan Nash's selection. No white man had played for the West Indies since Geoff Greenidge represented the region in 1973. Others were sceptical of a player who in effect was an Australian reject. But his performances in New Zealand suggested he could add some much needed resilience to the West Indies batting line-up. And it's hoped his professional attitude, honed in the tough Australian system, will rub off on his new colleagues. It's been a long time since the West Indies had a team to be proud of. They haven't won a test series against England in fifteen years.
