Comments on: CFR listener roots for T&T http://www.caribbeanfreeradio.com/blog/2005/11/15/cfr-listener-roots-for-tt/ The Caribbean's first podcast - almost live from Trinidad and Tobago!

Nicholas Laughlin blogged extensively during the match itself, and Caribbean Free Radio relayed the radio broadcast to contacts abroad via Skype. Ryan Naraine, Taran Rampersad and Nicholas Laughlin have saved me some legwork by posting link summaries, but most of the buzz about the match came, naturally, out of Trinidad & Tobago itself, much of it taking the form of brief cries of ecstacy, some of it referring to the unsportsmanlike behaviour of the Bahraini team and fans.
