I haven't posted in a long time, but I follow the rum shop closely. I have begun a project of finding interesting links to West Indies Test Cricket from the beginning (192. When completed it will cover all series from 1928-present.

I have finished Part 1: 1928--1959-60. Most of you will be familiar with some of the sources I'm using, but some of you may not. I am using, as a major source, Charles Davis' Test Match Database, which provides the most comprehensive scorecards I have seen. Other sources are Wisden Cricketers Almanack, cricinfo, the Cricket Archive, and various issues of THE CRICKETER. Sources are explained at the top of the post, followed by information about each series. The key thing about the Davis database, is that it provides, when available, full BALL BY BALL accounts of matches. This post contains information for the first 20 Test match series played by the West Indies.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. - I will now be moving on to Part 2: 1960--2000
