...source some info from way back when. Back in th day of sugarcane cricket in Jamaica - Crum Ewing Cup I think....my Dad (deceased) used to play for Seven's Esate pace bowler - (though not as fast as I was)...also played for Jamaica select 11 vs. a pre-touring West Indian team (England) and so the story goes got the scalps of the 3 Ws. Now where could I find that info (if it exists?).

Ha, ha...no he was good enough..and I got it from other parties as well..I used to go to an old barber in May Pen named Mr. Wint who in between his big sips of white rum used to tell me about my father's bowling exploits - but I was just a child then and didn't quite understand...thing is there was sm genetic passing down (heh, heh)...so I gues I believe.Comment

Seven's shut down umpteen years now. My Dad had books and I used to look through them (still a youth then)..but they were lost, damaged etc. You should ask your father if he knew of my father back then.Comment
