Should he play for Guyana OR Barbados ?

William Burton, a fast bowler, struggled to make his mark as he was of mixed race
and lacked the background to gain entry to Barbados's only non-white club.
He worked as a practice bowler for Pickwick CC and was used in practice matches to sharpen up white batsmen chosen to represent the island.

In 1899 he emigrated to Demerara which had far less strict rules on colour
(other promising coloured players took the same route)
and he bowled well enough in his first season to gain selection for the 1900 England tour where he took 78 wickets at 21.55 (the matches were not accorded first-class status).

Against touring sides from England in 1901-02 and 1904-05 he was effective and was chosen to tour England again in 1906.

But that ended in acrimony when he was sent home after refusing to carry out menial duties for white members of the side.
That ended his cricketing career and also made him virtually unemployable, and he was forced to emigrate again, this time to Panama.
He returned to Barbados shortly before his death so that he could "die where I was born".

Guyana rescued Barbados players from White supremacy!

and gave 'em a new home ; where their descendants assimilated

Today, they deport folks from Guyana via a special Bench at Barbdos airport 

Bim and Tricky against their rescuers

GT even feed them now they putting us on a bench

AND the Barbados in charge of West Indies picks:

stacking the squad with his countrymen

but constantly losing to Guyana in Regionals.  :

"I was there for the highest opening partnership of 390 runs Guyana vs Barbados

between Leslie White and Glendon Gibbs of BG – White 260 and Gibbs 216.

That record lasted for 50 years."
