When I was at college I had a pal from Domenica. His name was Errol Carbon. He and I used to discuss cricket a lot, and my memory may be deserting me, but I think for some reason he didn't like David Murray. Or was it Deryck Murray?

Like David Murray, Errol was quite partial to a bit of ganja...

Don't know. I have negligible experience of one and none of the other.
