Front Row: Ramadin, Atkinson. Worrell, Goddard, Walcott, Weekes, Valentine

I know the face next to Collie but not the name. Methinks Kenny Trestrail in there but not sure.
Guess 1959/60 based on who I see

Back row: Ganteaume,Asgarali, Alexander, Sobers, Hall,Dewdney,Paradieau ,Gilchrist,Smith,Kanahi,
You got the front row correct
In reply to hubert
I was and remain so proud of that team and if fact all our teams from yesteryear. I yearn for old school test cricket battle of yesteryear.
During the rest day we would debate strategies and make predictions. The rest day also allowed players to recuperate from niggles etc.

I know one of de stalwarts would come to de rescue
I should have got de Gilchrist one but I definitely recognized de face. I heard from reliable sources Gilchrist was de REAL REAL PACE and he is such a small man.
In reply to hubert
Dewdney and Paradieau...what were they? Fast bowler and keeper?
In reply to Oilah
Tom Dewdney was a fast bowler from Jamaica. One of his relatives worked with me when I was in Jamaica.Bruce Pairaudeau was a Guyanese opening batsman who attended Queens College in Guyana and made a century on debut.I think he migrated to New Zealand.

In reply to hubert
I knew you or Ewart would have come to the rescue. I was hoping you would have delayed your entrance and let the “younger ones” ( like Dukes ) embarrass themselves.

He was also the first Queen's College boy to score a century in an inter-colonial match (130 vs. Jamaica, 1947) and the youngest player at that time to represent Guyana in inter-colonial first class cricket, when he made his first-class debut for British Guiana against Trinidad in March 1947 at Queen's Park Oval, a month before his sixteenth birthday. (Ramnaresh Sarwan later became the youngest player to represent Guyana in first class cricket.)
I suspect why you think he went to St. Stanislaus College.

In reply to Dukes
Thank you for correcting me Dukes,I read somewhere/sometime ago where he did attend Saints
You have the proof I will go along with that Bro
In reply to Stilbatn
Actually,my source of information was my late cousin who attended Queen's College a decade after Bruce and who knew him and his exploits while at QC as he later became QC cricket captain.
Steve Camacho did attend St. Stanislaus College and played test cricket fro the West Indies.
Off the top of my head I can think of Berkeley Gaskin and Roger Harper as QC alumni(both Presidents of DCC)who played test cricket for the West Indies.
In reply to Dukes
Thanks again Dukes --wishing you all the best for this year and onwards
In reply to Larr Pullo
Excellent post!!!!!!!
In reply to Stilbatn
Same to you.
In reply to hubert
Thanks! They look "knowing" to me. I recognized about four of them.
Those were the good old days when fans not only knew and respected all the players (and reserves) and were proud of them, but they could mek dem out 100 yras later.
I thought Ganteaume played in T$T in his only test. They took him as a passenger?
