This final was 5 days and all the teams in the tournament played their matches in Guyana or as it was then B.G.

There was an interesting match between Jamaica and Barbados at Bourda where all 4 openers made centuries and Gilchrist was put to the sword just like his countryman Uton Dowe, more than a decade later.

I was chatting with C. Miller yesterday. When i see him next, i will ask if he remembered the details of the match. He is quite an engaging personality who loves his cricket.

In reply to Dukes

Were you in attendance at Bourda?

Just asking.

In reply to Dukes

Back when cricket meant something...Too bad CWI messed that up.

In reply to Drapsey

I attended my first cricket matches in 1965.

In reply to Dukes… I attended my first in 1962, mind you I was in a tummy. Got my first and second names from that match.
