Who remember. The 1966 West Indies School Boys

1966

One of the tournaments organized in the memory of Sir Frank Worrel. Unfortunately a lack of vision by WI cricket allowed it to die.

I remember when Alvin Kallicharran was run out for 99 in one of dem early British American Tobacco [BAT] Series

Great. 3 of my team mates played on the 66 school boys team. I cannot recall Kalli making big runs in 66 as he was one of the youngest players in the tournament.. The best allrounder of the tournament was Vincent " Jammie ' Lashley.
If my memory is correct I think Bim won the tournament upsetting TnT

Hey Fan,

It would be great if you can get someone to find the Scorecards for the matches which were hosted in Jamaica.

It's a shame that for such an important tournament; the records were not preserved.... I recall the matches at Bourda as an 11 year old.
