What hurts the most is that Dominicans love cricket more than any other sport; but Chi-Chi, a man who cannot differentiate a cricket ball from a foot ball, stalled hosting matches in Dominica. No surprise. He also declared war on playing fields island wide.They are used as dump sites and to install buildings.
What a wicked man! He carries out his wickedness with a smile, which exposes two “fig holes”/ pot holes/craters on either side of his face.
