In reply to Norm

Walcott captained Guyana
Reds Murray was the keeper

In reply to Narper

Yes he is

LR Gibbs - one of the best WI bowlers ever

In reply to DirtyDan

Lance Gibbs was definitely our greatest spinner ever by leaps and bounds. I don't even know who is our second best ever? Thoughts anyone?

If Brancker could get 4/13, what you think that Gibbs would do

In reply to VoopsandOut

Those two pals of mine, Ram and Val

Sobers

In reply to Dukes

Glendon Gibbs was Lance Gibbs cousin
Rawle Brancker is married to a Guyanese
Seymour Nurse never scored a century at Bourda,says he just never had any luck there
Carlyle Miller from DCC did a perfect imitation of the Garry Sobers walk (even better than dukes)
Pat Legall had an “Indian sign” over Cammie Smith getting him out cheaply frequently, sometimes even with long hops.
Colin Wiltshire the DCC opening batsman was the father of Squash champion Garfield Wiltshire. I wonder where Colin got that name from.They used to call him Colin Blind
Peter Lashley was like Bradman at Bourda.

In reply to Dukes

In reply to Norm

You must be thinking about somebody else. Glendon Gibbs was an Afro Guyanese who was a Permanent Secretary who died of a heart attack in his mid fifties.

In reply to Dukes

You may be right. I may be confusing him with Leslie Wight. The photo of Glendon Gibbs that I have does indeed show an Afro Guyanese. Here is what I have on my site for Glendon Gibbs:

In reply to Norm

Actually,I have been trying to confirm that Glendon is Lance’s cousin but no luck.That first wicket record was broken by Gayle and Garrick.Leslie Wight was indeed white and used to live on Church Street opposite Bourda. One time we were playing cricket on the mall between church and north road and he spotted Lester Luke who was a fast bowler and he got Lester to join GCC because he felt he had talent. Sadly the next year Lester died by drowning in Surinam.Looking back I am surprised Leslie missed my leg breaks and googles. LOL

In reply to Dukes

Brancks 2nd wife.

In reply to Dukes

Dukes I don’t think there is any relation. But the next time I see Lance I’ll ask him.

In reply to RemainsUnknown

WI next best spinner after Gibbs is his fellow countryman
Clyde Butts!

In reply to CricSham

I tend to agree.. Glendon may have been from a different Gibbs family.. Lots of Gibbs in Guyana. Very few played cricket.

In reply to Jacksprat

Back in those days Carlyle had the most graceful run up for a left arm quick. More Graceful than Gary, Julien or English.. And he knew it....

In reply to VoopsandOut

In reply to Norm

The second best West Indian spinner is either Ramadin or Valentine.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

You keeping count on number of wives? LOL

In reply to Dukes

Good stuff Dukes.

In reply to Dukes

Lol. She was the wife of a friend of mine

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy



You and yuh friend can go cry into allyuh Mount Gay!!!!!

In reply to Dukes

He isn't crying
