I prefer to call this book, West Indian Rhythm, “Calypso Decoded,” because it gives you everything you wanted to know about the calypso and clears up misunderstandings.

The author who is a prominent cricket commentator and Minister of the Gospel provides a history of cricket in the Windward Islands (Grenada, St. Vincent, St. Lucia and Dominica.) For most of the 20th century, West Indies Test players came from the big four – Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Guyana – where all Test matches in the Caribbean were played. As a result, people in the outside world did not recognize the excitement and competitiveness of cricket in the Windward and Leeward Islands. Worme presents the rich cricket history of the Windward Islands and profiles the first players from the four islands who played for the West Indies Test teams.

A History of West Indies Cricket
by Michael Manley
Introduction by Clive Lloyd

The late prime minister of Jamaica Michael Manley was an ardent cricket fan. Both editions of Manley’s A History of West Indies Cricket, the original and revised editions, are cherished by collectors.

Introduction

I deem it an honour to be asked to write the foreword for this book on West Indian cricket by Michael Manley. Mr. Manley has always been a keen student of the game and prominent in his support of sports in the West Indies. It shows how important sport is in the West Indies when past Prime Minister can take time out to give all West Indians, and scores of other cricket enthusiasts through out the world, an impressive account of West Indian cricket history.
