4 Bimmers in England set up 1 rested. Must be a record. A likkle Caribbean speck makes up nearly half of England team

In reply to Castled

Little England tallawah for real !

In reply to doosra

This is one youngster I have been following, he has been schooled at the Franklyn Stephenson Academy, and his parents were involved in his cricket for years.
Before leaving Bim, he had travelled to South Africa and England with the FS academy.
Congrats Youngman on your selection.

Oxymoron

If a guy like this with no fc hundreds and aversges 25 with the bat in fc cricket was selected for the wi. everyone in here would be cussing

In reply to velo
The FC counts.

In reply to doosra

his career probably won't last long.......unless is t20 cricket. chris jordan was a total failure in test cricket and jofra is mr fragile himself

In reply to velo


is de passport.....it have powers even with the cosmetic republicanism

In reply to Jumpstart

financially, they would earn more with a very short career there in England than here

and they get to play 2nd rate county cricket and get paid for it...

Archer's central contract for a year or 2 is more than he would get for a 10-15 year central contract with CWI

In reply to Jumpstart

Chris Jordan was a better test bowler, ODI and T20 than the great dancing harry and also a better fielder .

Some yall acting shocked

The Talented- Grandson of the Late Arthur Bethel being picked by England was always on the cards.

This is a good thing.

Now..yall want to bellyache about how the WI missed another one...and wuhloss.. we collective Belly...How igrunt is the CWI...

Woe is WI.


So...I am keen to hear what you would have done in not just this instance but all previous instances to PREVENT...nay...WOO the chosen who qualified to play for England with its Obviously superior Infrastructure and rewards?

Tell us about the great tits cricketers? I dare you

In reply to tc1

larry gomes was an excellent cricketer. in fact larry was better than every bajan batsman that debuted after dessie. In fact, in australia, larry gomes was better than both greenidge and haynes. Then you have the incomparable Prince, BCL, then you have Sonny Ramadhin, then you have Learie Constantine. I am going to include the following three because the vast majority of the success the west indies has derived in the last 14 years have come from this format: kieron pollard, sunil narine and the one and only Dwayne Bravo. sure historically we have not produced as many good cricketers as barbados since the game arrived in the west indies, but then barbados has not produced as many good swimmers, athletes, cyclists as TT. And im sure if the last 40 years were to be taken, ramdin would be preferred over can'tcatch Sr and Jr, brian lara will be preferred over hope and poor man's crabby and bishop is better than any bajan paceman who debuted after maco

In reply to powen001

A lot of these guys who moved to England and play would have never made the West Indies team

In reply to Jumpstart

please show the evidence..

or stop using illegal substances today...promise me.

If you mean the 153 victory...you are sadly mistaken..

I was there.

They booed Steve Waugh and almost decapitated him with a pelted bottle...due to the unfair run out of Sherwin Campbell..

who was reinstated ....

again...

I was there..

LARA was in the Zone and All of Barbados, Sam Poochie and the Duppy were supporting him...so again...

please bring the facts ...Bajans love LARA still...so behave yuhself.

In reply to powen001

They love Sir Carl just a little more
Won a case of beer ova a bet of which would bring it home was there also.

Will add that the present U19, U17 and U15 Bajan teams are loaded with talent

In reply to powen001

here you are
i distinctly remember the late David Hooke's words after the game during the pitch invasion

In reply to Jumpstart

Give it a rest Jumpy.

Barbados cricket industry produced the greatest cricketers the world has ever seen. No country on the planet matches such quality output. Barbados is the Brazil of cricket. Jamaica's sprint factory is also a valid comparison.

Sobers, 3Ws, Hunte, Hall, Griffith, Nurse, Marshall, Big Bird, Greenidge, Haynes etc. are the finest exponents of the game. Trinidad has 1 great to match them

Trinidad produced 1 cricket great in Lara. Sonny Ramadin disqualified himself by admitting he pelted his entire life. Thats not cricket. Thats cheating. The man was a robber.

The incomparable strength of Barbados cricket inevitably led to a clash versus the Rest of The World. A never to be repeated achievement by a likkle Caribbean state.

Only Australia and England clashed with the Rest of the World.

Why you and the music man continue to argue a bariffle of shyte on this subject is baffling.

you cant help but jump in with this one..

all in your head.

I could show you pics of several fetes at Laras place in Bimshire...and Lara Jumping at crop over for many a year on end.

the piece o nonsense yall prefer to believe due to allyuh insecurities dont replace reality.

This IS BIM...not the RNC bloke.

In reply to openning

That name Bethel sounds familiar. He could probably be the grandson of Arthur Bethell, a very solid all-rounder for Barbados in the 60s-70s., who played locally for thre then Pickwick 1st Division team. Those were the days when there were as many white players in the Barbados team, as there were black players.

In reply to Casper

HE IS.

Bethel is my former CEO...died less than year ago but he represented us in Cricket too.

I believe he was an Opener...Ill check with my Dad if Opening cant remember.

In reply to powen001

Bro, you have a historian who knows Barbados cricket better than most Bajans.
He is a Lodge Alum, just like my mentor.
I remember Arthur and Tony White as All-rounders.

In reply to Casper
Tony White may be the best cricketer that the club produced, up to the inclusion of black players, He eased my pain when he bowled Sir Gary for a duck, one ball the greatest received that Saturday.
Police needed points in that match to win the cup, so they went for the world's best, at 13 years old, I wouldn't say I liked everything about Police that Saturday.
I must say, the players got me to meet Sir Gary, and I got an autographed ball from him.
Being a Blue I hated to see Sir Gary in White that Saturday.
He ran thru Pickwick on a rain wicket, an out-field where every policeman and fans of police, came out with every drying equipment to get the mecca ready for the match.
There was a discussion during the Tea interval, Sir Gary said after getting out the first ball, I looking for the ball to turn, back it was straight, Tony said, that the in-swinger moved too much for Gary.

In reply to imusic

As you would say let me correct it for you.
Lara loves Bajans.

In reply to tc1

Why do you think Fidel was selected?
Trinies wants you to believe Lara saw something in him, which is BS.
That selection was a Friendly pick.

In reply to openning/tci

Did you know Wes Hall, Sir Frank Worrell, Eric Atkinson, David Holford and other Bimmers played key roles in the development of T&T cricket. They represented T&T (not Worrell) and won championships for Trinidad.

Wes Hall in T&T like Sir Clyde Walcott in Guyana discovered young talent and started organized youth cricket which developed the likes of the Gomes boys (Larry is Jumpy's fav )

Jumpy as a cricket historian side steps Bim players huge foundation building in T&T cricket.

Did T&T honor Hall or Atkinson and Holford?

A trini hip I and I to a youth agency name Servol founded by Wes Hall still in operation today.

Bajans booed Corey Collymore when he bowled bouncers to Sir Carl.
