You lived in England all these years, and not see the difference in development of players?
I expected Point to come with such a topic.
Have a look at how many teams he has played for and how many matches, and he is only 23 years.

'point' taken...beg pardon
Intetestingly the commentators were saying he had always shown huge talent from a young age but struggled to make runs with his county as they were producing terrible pitches at the time.
They then changed the county structure and brought in a new groundsman after which Lawrence shone.
A lessen here i think.
At the moment SL,is a good place to make a debut no matter what country you are from.

Back in the day, the Windies used to produce great groundsmen of local renown.
Just like our latter-day cricketers, it would appear our present groundsmen are of the same calibre.
and the thing is that we tend to do well on the better pitches in the Caribbean. It is almost an embarrassment that people like Hetmeyer have so little first class cricket under their belt. That is where you learn the trade. Maybe WI should consider having 2 first class seasons per year

Someone commented on Wes Hall saying, West Indies have groundmen, other countries have curator.
Have a look at the Outfield in Australia and New Zealand, and the patches on the out field in Sri Lanka.
As soon as as I saw that field, BCL grounds came to mind.
