Nostalgic memories about my school days back in Trinbago. They were real good days.

In 1971 we got days off from school when the West Indies played India. I wonder if Children in Trinidad and Tobago schools get days home from school for Test Cricket.

Gavaskar By Lord Relator

A lovely day for cricket. Blue skies and gentle breeze. The Indians are waiting now. To play the West Indies. A signal from the umpire. The match is going to start. The cricketers come on the field. They all look very smart.

Erapalli Prasanna. Gegeboy and Wadekar, Krishnamurthy and Vishwanath. Them boys can well play cricket on any kind of wicket. They make the West Indies team look so bad. We was in all kind of trouble. Joey Carew pull a muscle. Clive Lloyd get bout 3 rum out. We was in trouble without a doubt.

It was Gavaskar. The real master. Just like a wall. We couldn’t out Gavaskar at all. Not at all. You know the West Indies couldn’t out Gavaskar at all.

Venkataraghavan. Bedi in ah turban, Vejay Jaishema jiantilman. They help to win the series against the West Indies, at Sabina Park and Queen’s Park Oval. 158 by Kanhai really sent our hopes up high Noreiga 9 for 95. The Indian team they still survive…

Govengangurane, Solkar Abid Ali, Dilip Sadasi and Vishanat. They make West Indies bowlers look like second raters. When those fellows came out here to bat. West Indies tried Holder and Keith Boyce. They had no other choice. They even tried with Uton Dowe, but ah sure that they sorry they bring him now…

Little Desmond Lewis, also Charlie Davis, take a little shame from out we face, but Sobers as a captain, he want plenty coaching before we cricket end up in ah disgrace. Badi hear that he became a father, he ketch out Holder in the cover, but when Sobers hear he too had a son, he made duck and went back in the pavilion.

It was Gavaskar the real master. Just like a wall we couldn’t out Gavaskar at all, Not at all. You know the West Indies couldn’t out Gavaskar at all.
