Yeah, he was actually the ignorant one in that case! And still today, some use “West Indies” to talk about the Caribbean!
Maybe he was the Sam Altman of his day?
Also… as we all know…
Yet some people insist he “discovered” America…

Columbus is the one who opened up the Americas for economic exploitation. If that’s not “discovery” what is?

I give that a pass because it’s the cricket team only I think.
I don’t think I have heard it in other contexts.
(ETA and obviously cricket is just an inscrutable mystery to those not initiated. I really appreciate a game you can play for five days and nobody wins but it’s not exactly a draw either. Plus things like the Duckworth Lewis Method).
