Guyana : Bourda Green - ketchim - 10-08-2013
https://sta.uwi.edu/uwitoday/article30.asp
My mind raced to thoughts of Clive Lloyd, prowling panther-like in the covers.
The vicious hook shot of Roy Fredericks contrasted with the patient prodding of Leonard Baichan.
And can we forget the most technically astute right-hander in our cricket history, the irrepressible Baboolal [Rohan Kanhai]
(no disrespect to the Master Blaster who no doubt is the most destructive right-hander to have played the true sport of kings) ?
What about Basil Butcher and Joe Solomon; even Colin Croft of much more recent vintage ?
Is there still memory of the little man with the unruly hair and the unbuttoned shirt ?
Acclaimed as “Killer Kalli†for his destruction of Dennis “the Menace†Lillee.

I shivered as I remembered the languid grace of Lance Gibbs—
Remember 1965 ? Gibbs 6 for 29........
