impossible to pick a trash side from barbados cricket from 1950-1990, even a second xi would beat mostly every cricket team today. Conversely, it is impossible to pick a good bajan side from 1990-present

I think Tino’s innings alone against England gets him off that ignominious list
‘Probably’ also unfair to Browne big grin
