Funny,I looked at a Youtube recording of that tour and a young LLOYD scored 82,it was top score.I saw Charlie Griffith and Wes Hall,these small Indian batsmen didn't even have an arm guard,what a difference from today.The entire crowd stood up and started to applaud when Sobers walked out to bat.

Thanks!
Anything cricket is good stuff.
Back in the day when cricket was pure and clean..
Players wore whites, crowds wore whites.
Crowd cheered the opposition
Expression, Sobers won the toss and sent India in to field.
India won toss and sent WI to field!
The crowd reaction seems like when they do films with communists who cheered politely as if programmed!

Two quick points.
Number one, I never knew Clive Lloyd was a leg spinner. Did he have a googly?
Number two, I noticed Frank Worrell, looking on pensively. Does this mean he was the manager of the West Indies team on that tour?

Clive lloyd performed well in the 1966 Shell Shield and many felt that he should have been included in the team to England that Summer. If my memory serves me right, I recall a writer saying that the fact he was not included in Guyana's team for their first game may have worked against him. I recall he made about 180 against Jamaica.

Clive made 107 against Barbados at the Mecca and 194 against Jamaica at Sabina Park. He was not selected for the English tour because the Bajan selector refused to support him because the Guyanese selector declined to support Bynoe for the tour. It is in Lloyd's first book. On that tour to India, Worrell told Clive that the selectors did not select him because they were concerned about how he would cope with English conditions and felt he needed more experience before touring England and that India would be a more appropriate debut tour.

Looks like Hendricks must have been a hell of a keeper because from this video he couldn't bat at allll....

Lloyd was a better leg spinner than Bishoo it appears...

Lloyd was a medium pacer.

You fadda told you a partial truth.. Bull McMorris was a Shell Shield bully, not at all at the Test level

true dat... my daddy told me that Hendricks had no peer with the gloves... not so with the blade.

Jackie Henricks was a light complexioned version of Mike Findlay - a demon with the gloves and a virtual rabbit with the bat!
2019-03-18 17:36:59
i now see why old sidie likes Sobers and admires Hendricks's keeping so much. man sobers did everything well in that series and Hendricks kept like a demon

I was told Sobers has Hendricks in his all-time West Indies team.
2019-03-18 18:01:07
If Hendricks was so good, how Murray as a 19 year old made the team ahead of him for England in 1963?

others were either injured or had embezzled money.

Every WI player from the sixties rates Jackie Hendriks as not only the best WI wicketkeeper of his time but of ALL TIME as does couple of Umpires and they do not consider it close. I still remember Hendriks stumping English off Lester King at Bourda in 1967. I doubt Lloyd bowled medium pace in 1966. He started bowling medium pace when he started playing league cricket in England in 1967.

Bishoo was a better medium pacer than Lloyd - much quicker thru the air ...

Great to see Conrad Hunte again. Best opening bat in WI. Started opening because I loved to see him bat.

Conrad sister was my primary school teacher, Juanita Hunte.
I was invited to a service for him, at the St. Andrew parish church, sometime ago
