This essential book recalls the events, issues, attitudes and personalities that were central to the evolution of West Indian cricket. Historical reflection is combined with cricket reminiscence from the 1920s to the 1960s - the most critical years. Four decades of West Indian cricket are vividly recreated and examined with loving care and accuracy.
Chapters include: The Headley Era (1928-1939), The Post-War Years (1948-1949), The West Indies under Frank Worrell (1960-1963), The West Indies under Garfield Sobers (1965-1966).
Select Bibliography, Index and 30 black & white plates.
