In reply to StumpCam

My eyes, must be very bad, I don’t see Boyce. Who are those two guys, in rows 2 and 3 behind Prince Philip?

In reply to Casper

In reply to StumpCam

So yuh didn’t see Vanburn Holder and Maurice Foster? What did they do to you to omit them like dat?

In reply to FanAttick

Good pick-up there Fan.

In reply to Casper

I’m pretty much certain that I saw Dukes as well..he’s the geriatric looking dude in the 3rd row looking worse for wear

In reply to StumpCam

Walcott is at Lloyd’s right.

In reply to Casper

Foster is the last person in the back row directly over Lloyd’s left shoulder

Kallicharran is in the 2nd row..4th from right

In reply to FanAttick

Dukes was so old even then ? Hehehehe.

In reply to Casper


Wasn’t it Dukes who said he was in the stands watching Headley batting in the 1929 series?

In reply to FanAttick

Maybe Foster is who I think is Boyce! I initially thought that was him last night!

In reply to FanAttick

Is that Holder in the back row off the Duke’s left shoulder?

I can see Vanburn now!

In reply to StumpCam

I dont see Boyce…maybe he’s out of the pic…far right or far left

In reply to Casper

Yes..ole’ Umpire Vanburn Holder is in the back row behind the Duke’s left shoulder

In reply to Casper

LOOK HERE

I used AI to enhance the image for you pensioners

In reply to VIX

Thanks…now do the same with this one too

In reply to VIX

Wow! Big difference! I can now see Collis King far left and Gibbs right of Fredericks!
Still not sure about those two guys behind Prince Phillip! My guess the older one is Fred Wills!

In reply to StumpCam

Collis King is not in that picture

In reply to FanAttick

Who is that next to Greenidge??? The picture that VIX posted! Looks a lot like him!

In reply to StumpCam

Yagga Rowe

I had a shirt like the one Mikey has on back in the day. Paired very well with my Big Heel Boot and my Bell Foot Pants…

In reply to FanAttick

I sure you still wear it!!

In reply to Castled

Collis King was not a part of the 1975 World Cup Squad..Vanburn Holder was not a part of the 1979 World Cup Squad..

As a brethren once told me - ”I’ve only been wrong once in my life and that is when I thought that I was wrong!”

In reply to Casper
The Big Cat, Roberts' and Kali for sure.

One person of interest to me would be Maurice Churchill Foster, was he or not in the winning World Cup squad of 1975 ?

In reply to Raggs

Google is a good friend, sometimes

In reply to doosra

Lawrence Rowe was there rumoured

In reply to doosra

Google can be your enemy too

Yagga Rowe

King Collis didn't make his debut until 1976

In reply to FanAttick

sometimes

he asked about MF and he got that

If I recall correctly, both Sobers and Rowe were initially named in the WC squad. However
both missed out as Rowe was not fully recovered from his eye problems in the previous tour
of India and Pakistan and Sobers backed out because of unfitness too.Kanhai was named as Sobers replacement
and King for Rowe.
Only 12 players were used in the 5 matches..Greenidge missed the opener against Sri Lanka and Murray opened with Fredo.
When Greenidge came back for the Pakistan match Gibbs sat out for the remaining matches.
The team was basically Fredo, Greenidge, Kalli, Kanhai, Viv, Lloyd,Murray, Julien,Boyce,Holder and Roberts
Neither Foster not King got a game.

Foster looks like he is in the left side of the photo in the back squeezed between a tall fellow with someone looking like Greg Chappell close to his left.
I could not find Julien in this photo.

In reply to hubert

Thanks Hubie…boy yuh have a photographic memory… I remember Yagga being named in the squad but didnt remember why he didn’t play
Who are the two peeps behind (and between) the Queen and the Duke? My guess players from Sri Lanka and East Africa…

In reply to FanAttick

Your guess maybe spot on. The East African team was made up of blacks and Indians from Kenya,Uganda,Zambia and Tanzania.

( the ICC wanted to create another West Indies model....was a bad idea. never lasted. Kenya
became a major player a few years later. )

In reply to hubert

Thanks….

In reply to doosra

You are correct. - King is to the right of Cuthbert Gordon Greenidge

Bernard Julien is NOT in that picture

I now notice Barry Manilow in front of Lance Gibbs. Who woulda thought!!
