MediumPacer Posted June 29, 2024 Posted June 29, 2024 Kensington oval is such a pretty looking ground these days.Ironically back in the day when it looked more decrepit ,the stands were full and standard of players batter.

Forward Defence Posted June 29, 2024 Posted June 29, 2024 India has never won a test at Barbados even after all these years of Windies decadence. Guess they haven't played much here.

That is actually a matter of debate in whole world as they all are slave descendants. Slaves that survived horrible conditions plus bred like animals where strongest tallest slaves were bred for future generations. Gollum 1

St Lucia pop 1.8 lakhs Not much...Sammy (1st international cricketers from St Lucia), Johnson Charles Grenada, St Kitts, Nevis, nothing much. Few T20 league tullas and players with 5-10 international appearances. Edited June 30, 2024 by Gollum
Gollum Posted June 30, 2024 Author Posted June 30, 2024 (edited) Grenada has Anderson Peters, one of Neeraj Chopra's main rivals, someone who beat our GOAT for gold in 2 World Championships. PB 93 metres, multiple throws over 90. Watch out for him in Paris. Even that liliput country (smaller than some Indian villages) has a gold , a bronze since 2012 London. Pakistan zero after their 1992 hockey bronze. Edited June 30, 2024 by Gollum
