Ray Goble & Keith A.P. Sandiford
Foreword by Clive Lloyd

Published in 2004, this now rare book is a comprehensive treatment of the first seventy-five years of West Indies Cricket. It combines history and statistics in a new and original fashion and is the first book to include the Test, One Day International, First-Class and Domestic One Day match records of every West Indian-born player between 1928 and 2003. It adds substantially to the literature on Caribbean cricket by analysing the contributions made by the various entities within the region in a manner that has never previously been done. It also traces the development of the game by chronicling the various records set by West Indian teams and individuals between 1928 and 2003.
This book is a potential classic which explores the crucial role of cricket in Caribbean life and culture and traces its rise and fall in the West Indies during the last three quarters of the 20th century.
Cricket enthusiasts and general readers of sport everywhere will welcome this unique and important study. It certainly has value, interest and relevance to all of those who follow the fortunes of the game throughout the modern Commonwealth.
