I will be charitable here. Your reasoning is bereft of reason.

Is it Kraigg's fault he has 12 test centuries, captains WI team, dominated youth cricket?

How does Kraigg's life achievements compare to each of our own successes, using a global lens?

He keeps the lights on.

Spoken like a true intellect.

Sometimes your reasoning (critical analysis) is beyond the capacity of many here.

Braffit is BOO
Bajans know wha dah mean.
Yardies would say he is a 'Sketal'.

Bro, we can't keep shooting the workers. big grinbig grin

From high on the perch of hindsight, with our telescopic rifles.

Braff has tailed off a bit. Yet, still, dedicated servant

Spearing instead of shooting would be a better word choice for a man of the sea such as yourself smile

More like trying to spare KB.

Don't say KB stands for Kyaant Bat.

Looks like we have to give him a send off.

Harrison College producing better cricketers than Combermere these days.

Combermere did have the Three W's.

Even if there were a national award called "Order of Bridgetown" (and there is not) I fail to see why it should be an issue for discussion by non-Barbadians. Johnson Charles got a cricket stand and all named after him. Sammy got a whole stadium. If a nation wants to honour their nationals what's it got to do with non-nationals.

In reply to Curtis

Is that a singular. measurable, standard of performance for one to merit an award? If a worker required to start work at 8 turns up at 7 every day and produces mediocrity should he be awarded as an overall good employee based on his punctuality? What a frightening lowering of standards! I must have a look at Yard's Heroes' Day awards to see if it's a general Caribbean Trend. His Kraigg's award anything close to those received by Bird, Macko, Dessie, CGG an dem?
