Great question that require plenty attention.

Take Guyana, they will win again and honestly you want to say great job Guyana you are the undefeated regional champs.

But is sounds hollow, as they can only claim fame for being the tallest midget. And what of Trinidad, resources and all, they cannot claim their top 10 cricketers are not playing as a reason for their bottom of the dung heap for plenty years now. Their B team should have had the strength to compete properly.

Compare to the late 70's into the decade of the 80's when Barbados ruled the roost. That was real victory and Bim did beat strong visiting team, ask India.

Some years ago I was at an Islamic charity event and Imran Khan was the celebratory guest. We got to discussing cricket privately and he told that visiting teams, Pak included was fearful of our regional teams- losing a practice match to a Bim or Guy was a real possibility back then.
