I was gobsmacked when I first found out Guyana wasn't an island. When I played cricket in the Albany, New York area, the best organised local team came from the Guyanese community in Schenectady. Several of their older players had been talented youth players before emigrating for work at the huge General Electric factory. Playing with 'proper' cricketers was a great experience for our ragtag band of relative beginners. They cooked a great goat stew too, though the local paper occasionally had stories about consternation among the neighbours when the Guyanese slaughtered their own goats in the back garden.
