You trying to coax Dukes out of his lair!

If I had to make one change to that excellent team it would probably be Garner with one of Robert’s, Croft, Walsh or Gibbs.

I wouldn’t put Croft or Walsh ahead of Garner.

Roberts is special because he really was th genesis of th rebirth of WI fast bowling after years where the likes of Clive Lloyd opened WI bowling.

Those were lean years indeed. Vanburn Holder, Keith Boyce (sometimes), Sobers, Bernard Julien, Uton forkane Dowe, etc was our “pace” bowling attack.

Then came Andy Roberts and it was fire. Everyone knew he was special, and what made it even more so is he came from Combined Islands. Not many in those days came from that territory. Elquemido Willet and Mike Findlay were probably the most prominent from that territory at the time
