It is honourable that amid the the debauchery that is West Indies cricket the savants and heirs to Wee cricket are concerned with St Lucia's greatest ever.

Scar you were right on target:

1. Mindoo Phillips. Allrounder leftarm fast medium, chinaman legbreak, googley bowler. Born in the wrong WestIndian zone when Wndwards players,were not considered for Test cricket. 2.Ignatius Cadet Wicket keeper/batsman, I think capt of WI U21 on an England tour. According to some sent home from Senior team tour due to said purchase of some 'weed' for a said senior player. 3. Charlemagne who with Grayson Shillingford and Norbert Phillip formed the Trio that helped Pres 11 defeat the,Brits(MCC) was selected ahead of Shillingford to the Test team but told WICB he was unavailable/leaving for Canada for an engineering job.4 Marshall Francis offspinner/ derailed by the debacle in Guyana(suspended) a year by WICB from tournament. 5. Bam Charles 6'5 genuine fast bowler, took plenty wickets, again wrong island/time. 6 Brian Mauricette wicket keeper Windwards and I thonk Prez 11, left same time as Charlemagne for Canada to train and take pilot job.

Dont have to be a WI great to be an island great but again is comprehension eh?
big grin
Bias has prevented lots of people the world over from achieving their maximum over the years. Even after the team became truly WI they blacks who ran things kept the Brits rule of omission by origin and genetics going.
