Accommodation Holiday Wales "Barbados will always hold great memories for me. The 1994 Test match at the Kensington Oval when England finally won a test after so many years of losses coupled with me scoring twin centuries in the game will stand out as one of the highlights of my career. The people of Barbados have always made me feel welcome on this great island and the biggest compliment they gave me was that they described my batting as being of 'Bajan style and quality'. I look forward to returning to see the "new" oval and enjoying this fantastic island"
