if they was born after 1991 they'll say no. they would have been too young to remember the last great bajan player desmond haynes and that cupboard has been barer than a 80s ethiopian pantry since

remember these are the same dudes who was perishing to men like permaul and kenroy peters in fc cricket. two bowlers who proved that they were not remotely up to international standard. people used to cuss gayle for not moving his feel: gayle averages over 40 with two trip hundreds. these fellas just. cannot. bat.

So for those advocating playing red ball cricket to be a remedy for improper technique and being better batsmen……how does what you stated there help them in our red ball cricket?

We importing good bowlers?

Where have I demonised white ball cricket. I am saying playing 4 day cricket will make them better white ball cricketers. With that said we need to look at 4 day cricket, is it adding value. Our system is weak, as compared to yesteryear.

I continue to hear of Barbados not producing international players. Can you or Jumpy name six great international players the region has had since Gayle?

You've been having lots to say, Trinies should be the last to talk about cricket.
You have produced three greats, as far as I see it: Larry Gomes, Ian Bishop and BCL.
No one considers the performance of counties, Sheild or league cricketers.
It is a performance on the International stage that counts.
Check who performed for the region during world tournaments, and name one Trini who was the MVP.
