Great stuff, Maps. I love learning about the history of the game. I was not familiar with either Barrow or Christiani but I see they both kept wicket and opened the batting - a rare combination in any era of cricket.

Sammy Guillen has an interesting story too. He played 5 Tests for West Indies and then just up and left for New Zealand where he waited out 3 years before representing the black caps in 3 Tests. Do you know the reason why he switched allegiances?
