Congratulations to Barbados and Guyana, as both teams won almost all their matches. Obviously, cricket in these 2 territories is faring well, but what does the performances of the other teams indicate? Were they just as competitive as the top two?

In Guyana, the "rogue" Sanasie administration continues to produce good results, despite much similarity to the Cameron administration regionally. One difference is that Sanasie does not get into personal conflicts with the players, even if he favors "loyal" clubs over others.

A study that compares and contrasts the politics of the various regional boards will probably show a strong relationship between the politics and the results on the field. That may point to areas where beneficial action could be taken.

Congrats Barbados. Little Muddies distinguished themselves.

I hope the kids in this tournament realizes that there are lots of places to be filled in the senior team. They should be aiming to wear the national colors in the next 6-8 years.

Coaches should mandate a stringent program for their development.

Good luck. Wishing them all the very best.

Is he the same youngster at age 11 or 12 who scored a century or double that was posted here about three years ago?

They should take theese kid and send them to a cricket academy in England, Australia or India.

Give ther game a sound foundation, and then groom them for the future.

Otherwise we will be stuck with great U15-U19 performers who can't advance their game to the demands of International cricket.

We do not have the expertise in developing cricketers. From Administration to facilities, training, and exposing them to more talented players etc. WI set up sucks!!! These kids will be wasted like the others who stayed here.

We do not have the infrastructure. If you don't believe me, then take a look at the state of the cricket!

Jofra Archer highlights this painfully.

A young man who's talent went unrecognized by the current administration and selectors.

It makes me wonder how our current under performers would have done with Archer's opportunity.
