Selecting just one wicket-keeper for MY All West Indies Test XI, with six players already included – Joel Garner, Sir Curty Ambrose, late Malcolm Marshall, Sir Wes Hall, Lancelot Gibbs, Sir Gary Sobers – is probably the hardest, most contentious decision ever, even with great battersalso vying for thoselast four positions. The batsmen would be relatively easier.
In no order or merit, the following had been Test wicket-keepers for WI since 1928, when WI started playing Tests. Some named might even have been forgotten altogether already.
(1) Karl Nunes (Jamaica), (2) Errol Hunte (Trinidad & Tobago), (3) Desmond Lewis (Jamaica), (4) Cyril Christiani (Guyana), (5) Derrick Sealey (Barbados), (6) Franz “Jerry”Alexander (Jamaica), (7) Simpson Guillen (Trinidad & Tobago / WI & Canterbury / NZ), (8) Junior Murray (Grenada / Windward Islands), (9) Ivan Barrow (Jamaica).

Captain Joshua Dorne, aided by Shaquan Belle and Brendan Boodoo guided the West Indies Under-19 cricket team to a series-levelling two-wicket victory over their Sri Lankan counterparts in the fourth match of their Youth One-Day International series, yesterday.

Asked to chase 182 for victory, the WI Under-19s reached 167 for eight in 34.4 overs. Belle guided his side to the target with an unbeaten 41 off 31 balls.
Earlier, skipper Dorne and Boodoo had laid a platform for the win with a fifth wicket partnership of 76, before Trinidad and Tobago player Boodoo was stumped off the bowling of Kugathas Mathulan for 34 to leave the WI total on 98 for five. Dorne was next to go two runs later (100 for six) for an even 50, which included six fours and a six. Belle’s brisk knock then ensured the home team got to their DLS target.
