cricket factory

Two countries in region produced world class sports factories. Barbados in cricket and Jamaica in T&F. The other specks turn out a champ here and there. Barbados cricket achievements will remain unmatched. Barbados v Rest of the World was Bim's greatest era.

music man and jumpy on a mission to revise history to erase the great Barbados teams and players from the script. Their aim is replacing the Bim giants with a bunch of tit mercenaries and pelters. Theirs is a mission to nowhere lol

Bro, if a manuscript was written on the history of cricketers from the two Islands, BCL would be their history, the writer would still be writing about the 3 W's.

barbados produce anything other than cricketers? Trinidad has produced the only olympic swimming medal from the Caribbean.....even the dude who won the gold in 88 from Suriname was born in TT. Plus two teams that were cheated out of world cup qualifying and one that qualified. Barbados ever reach the Hex? dude allyuh people need tranquilizers yes

Let them know that the Yard has gone as far as to produce a world class Bobsled Team.

Ok, world popular Bobsled Team even if not world class.

Them two are not e.g. of a sports factory.lol Antiguans produce 3 greats, Vivian, Big Fisherman Andy, Pretty Boy Ambrose. Three isn't a factory line. Scammy st. lucians brag endlessly of 2 nobel winners again that's not a factory.

Barbados turn out world-class cricketers since 1920's (George Challenor).100 years later Bim still producing topflight players. Jamaica had T&F greats since Wint in 1940's and still doing it. Brazil the same thing in footie. Those are e.g. of sports factories not a sporadic world beater here and there.
