Bajans were doing well in West Indies leadership until that Dr guy decided to join up with his Dotty Dr colleagues, Hunte and Hilaire, then added the Gibson Head Coach experiment.

To borrow a vintage Horse Racing saying, "It was then all over bar the shouting".

Trinidadians should be the last group to talk about cricket, Among the big four, Barbados is the top producer.
Three of the best openers in our history.
Conrad Hunte
Gordan Greenidge
Desmond Haynes.
Your turn Jumpy
Lets see your opener to match them

Apart from Lara, the only other batsman who needs to be hailed is Larry Gomes.
The region may have produced a few good players in the last 25 years; the Trinies continue to lower the bar, thinking the IPL is international or World Cup cricket.
Had that bar been lower during Clive Lloyd's era, Barbados would have had close to 25 additional greats..
