![Larry-Gomes Former West Indies and TT cricketer Larry Gomes](https://guyanachronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/Larry-Gomes-op021nk167gswdiof8p1gpls2m73lmemb7n5ce5o8e.jpg)
FORMER Trinidad and Tobago and West Indies cricketer Larry Gomes has no regrets over blanking the infamous WI rebel tours of South Africa in 1983.
Gomes made this point during an interview on the Barbados-based Andrew Mason and Guest radio show, from his home in Toronto, Canada, on Tuesday evening last. Reflecting on the enticement of a spot in the unsanctioned WI rebel team, led by Lawrence Rowe, Gomes said, “I was in Toronto on holidays. The phone kept ringing, Lawrence calling, (Dr Ali) Bacher calling, ‘Crofty’ (Colin Croft) calling, they wanted me to come down and join them down there.”
Bacher, now 77, was a former South Africa captain, manager and administrator, who played a key role in organising rebel tours from West Indies, Sri Lanka, England and Australia during the 1980s, when South Africa were banned from international sport due to their apartheid policies.
Gomes continued, “I had met with Dr Bacher in Manhattan, (United States) with my advisor Hugh Henderson, at a hotel privately. We went about doing a contract, but I didn’t sign it because I wanted to come back to Toronto and talk to my wife.
“At the time was the apartheid system so I was in two minds. If I’d gone, I’d be set for a lifetime. With the apartheid thing and studying if I want to go back home (to Trinidad), I don’t think they’d welcome you too much at that time. That made me not want to go there.”
During that time, Gomes was yet to cement a place in the WI middle order, which featured captain Sir Clive Lloyd, Sir Viv Richards, Faoud Bacchus, Collis King, Alvin Kallicharan and Gus Logie.
“It was very difficult to turn down,” admitted Gomes. “Dr Bacher and I decided not to disclose the contract. I still have the contract but we agreed not to disclose the details.” Gomes, a passionate horseracing fan, and a former racehorse owner, said, “I even had a racehorse in the contract.”
However, he noted, “I have no regrets. I was sad for the guys though. The kind of monies they went for, I don’t think that’ll be enough, knowing that your careers would be at stake and that’ll be the end of them. I think I was the only one who negotiated a contract with (Bacher). Most of the guys ended up in South Africa without the contract.” The then West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) banned the players who featured in the 1983 and 1984 rebel tours from playing First-Class and international cricket, under its auspices, for life. The ban was lifted in 1989, and Barbadian fast bowler Ezra Moseley played a pair of Tests, against England, in 1990.
Gomes said, “At the time it’s not like the money you’re getting now but it was real good money.” Asked if he has ever communicated with the players who went to South Africa and if they regretted making the trips, Gomes replied, “Maybe some of them were happy that they went but most of them, afterwards, realised maybe they made a mistake by going. If you look at a few of them, for some reason, they didn’t end up well in life (after) going there. You had Richard Austin who turned a vagrant, it was sad to see him in Jamaica. And there were a few others, it wasn’t nice to see having played with them.”
The 66-year-old Gomes, who played 60 Tests (3,171 runs at an average of 39.63) and 83 One Day Internationals (1,415 at 28.87) between 1976 and 1987, mentioned the value of country and league cricket in England for helping the WI players of his era become the unstoppable force in world cricket, during the 1970s and 1980s. “Why we were strong (was) most of the players were playing professionally in England,” said Gomes. “There was no restriction on the foreign players. We were used to playing day in, day out.”
What will he suggest for the present crop of WI players to improve their game? “To recommend for our guys now, the education level of the guys, especially the younger ones, they need guidance to solve their problems from early on, in crisis situations,” he responded. “They need mentors and advisors. Also, I don’t know how much of them set goals.”
During the interview, Gomes mentioned that he enjoyed playing against Australia because of their competitive nature and on-field banter (he scored six Test centuries against them). He also rated his knock of 123 at the Queen’s Park Oval against India in 1983 as his best. With the array of pace bowling during his playing days, Gomes described Jeff Thomson, Michael Holding and Wayne Daniel as the fastest bowlers he faced and his favourite pitches were at Sabina Park, Jamaica (“it was a good atmosphere, I enjoyed it there”), and Adelaide, Australia (“I had a couple centuries there”).
On his most memorable moments, Gomes listed his first Test (in June 1976 against England at Nottingham) and winning the World Cup in 1979 (“it was a fantastic achievement”), while the 1983 World Cup final defeat to India was his most disappointing. Gomes also touched on the famous 1984 Test victory against England at Lord’s, London, when Sir Gordon Greenidge made an unbeaten 214 while Gomes was 92 not out, as WI romped to a nine-wicket victory, on the final day.
“I always tell him he robbed me of a hundred at Lord’s,” said Gomes, in jest. “At the time, we were concentrating on winning the game. We made it very easily. Gordon went haywire and I played my role, rotated the strike as usual and we got (the total) with overs to spare.”(Reprinted from Newsday)

India, West Indies and the ‘other’ 1983 – Part 1
![west indies tour south africa 1983](https://www.cricketweb.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Jimmy-Amarnath.jpg)
This year marks the 40 th anniversary of the most romantic episode in Indian cricket history. On 25 th June 1983 Kapil Dev stood on the balcony as the Lord’s twilight loomed and held aloft the Prudential World Cup. Their opponents, West Indies, had been expected to cruise to a third consecutive world crown. Having won the inaugural tournament in 1975, and then followed up with another for good measure in 1979, Clive Lloyd’s team crumbled in their pursuit of a relatively meagre total of 184 and India delivered the ultimate cricketing cup shock.
West Indies featured heavily in India’s 1983. Although India pulled off the shock of the century in the English summer with their World Cup win, they were not so lucky months earlier during their tour of the Caribbean when, true to form, the home team brushed the tourists aside 2-0 in the five Test series. Later in the year West Indies travelled to India for what became known as the “ Revenge Series ”. Beginning in early October 1983 and ending on New Year’s Eve, the visitors demolished their hosts 3-0 in the 6-Test series and pummeled them 5-0 for a clean sweep in the limited overs games.
This story, then, focuses on India, West Indies and the ‘other’ 1983. A tale of one of the most formidable units in the history of the game at home and abroad. As a result of their demolition of India in India that year, cricket writer Sidhanta Patnaik dubbed Lloyd’s team “ The Unforgettables”. Even so, as 1983 dawned the West Indies board and the team itself faced one of the most contentious chapters in Caribbean cricket history.
Prior to the start of the series with India in early 1983 it was announced that a team of West Indies “ rebels ” would follow in the footsteps of the South African Breweries backed England team and tour Apartheid South Africa. Captained by Lawrence Rowe, and managed by Albert Padmore, the squad consisted of Richard Austin, Herbert Chang, Sylvester Clarke, Colin Croft, Alvin Greenridge, Bernard Julien, Alvin Kallicharran, Collis King, Everton Mattis, Ezra Moseley, David Murray, Derick Parry, Franklyn Stephenson, Ray Wynter and Emmerson [DW(1] Trotman. Of those, only Croft, then 30 and increasingly injury prone, Clarke, 28, Moseley, 24, and Stephenson, 23, could be said to have been genuine contenders for a place in a full-strength West Indies team.
Both Croft and Clarke had played in the West Indies’ last Test series, on the 1981/82 tour of Australia, although Clive Lloyd’s team had not played any international cricket since January 1982 when they returned from Down Under. Clarke, disenchanted with a dearth of opportunities, Croft, unsure of the longevity of his dodgy knees at the top level, and the rest of the party received a then lucrative $100,000-150,000 for their services. Immediate bans followed, as did ostracization both social and professionally across the Caribbean.
Many of the touring party were, however, players whose best days were behind them at international level while most cited poor pay in the West Indies domestic game, as well as a lack of guaranteed – or at best sporadic – employment during the off-season as their reasons for jumping ship.
India came to the Caribbean fresh from combat with a peak Imran Khan and his Pakistan team. Losing a 6-Test rubber 3-0, and a limited overs series 3-1, they had clearly been second best throughout the Pakistan tour. Imran’s speed, leadership and intelligence had shone throughout, although there were at least some bright spots for India.
Recalled to the side for the Pakistan series after a three-year international hiatus, Mohinder Amarnath hit 584 runs at 73 with three centuries and 3 fifties. Kapil Dev had also bowled tirelessly as India’s spearhead. Changes were unavoidable, however. After a lean series in Pakistan where he eked out just 134 runs at 16.75 in the 6 Tests, Gundappa Viswanath was dropped from the team, never to return. Silky smoothness personified; Gavaskar’s brother-in-law found himself surplus to requirements at the age of 34. For Gavaskar himself, defeat in Pakistan meant change for him, too, as he was dismissed as captain and replaced by the 24-year-old Haryana Hurricane Kapil Dev.
For West Indies, despite the background noise created by the rebel tour to South Africa, their XI for the first Test at Sabina Park represented only two changes from the last Test line-up in Adelaide fourteen months earlier. For Croft, in came Malcolm Marshall, then two months shy of his 25 th birthday and with his peak years to come. Out went Faoud Bacchus in the middle order and in came Gus Logie in an otherwise unchanged team. After a drawn pre-Test series pipe-opener with Jamaica the first Test at Sabina Park began on February 23rd.
In a low scoring game West Indies ran out winners by a four-wicket margin. Put into bat by Lloyd, India struggled to 251, made possible by a four and a half hour 63 from Yashpal Sharma and a gutsy 68 from the young seamer Balwinder Sandhu. West Indies found conditions no more to their liking and finished all out 254, thanks largely to Greenidge’s five hour 70.
As India went in for their second innings, an old rivalry played out in electrifying style in front of the Sabina Park faithful. With the very first ball of the second innings Michael Holding’s smooth glide up to the stumps and sinuous delivery of the ball picked out one of many vipers in the pitch and clean bowled Gavaskar leg stump, behind his legs. Anshuman Gaekwad and Mohinder Amarnath calmed Indian nerves in a partnership of 68, although the innings never gained momentum as India slid to 174.
That old stager, Andy Roberts, at 32 and in what would be his last home series, took 5-39 off 24.3 overs. Set a target of 172 for victory, and with no play possible on a rain-ruined fourth day, the home side rattled up the runs required on the final day, in just 25.2 overs, with a 36-ball 61 from Viv Richards, which included five 4s and four 6s.
Drawn Test matches at Port of Spain and Georgetown, Guyana followed. In the 2 nd Test at Port of Spain, Clive Lloyd hit 143 for the West Indies in their 394, while Mohinder Amarnath struck a match-saving 117 in the Indian second innings to help his side avoid an innings defeat. Amarnath’s second innings century improved on his first innings 58 and continued his magnificent run of form. On to Clive Lloyd’s home ground and a rain-lashed 3 rd Test at Georgetown was noteworthy for the only significant Gavaskar innings of the tour; a perfectly crafted 147 out of India’s 284/3.
Normal West Indian service resumed in the fourth Test in Barbados where Lloyd won the toss and elected to field first. India limped to 209 with Amarnath again – and alone – standing in the way with 91. Gus Logie top scored in the West Indies reply with 130 as the home side compiled 486. In a scarcely improved Indian second innings Amarnath again top scored, this time with 80, and Andy Roberts again took four wickets, this time for just 31 runs from 19.2 overs. Two-nil up after four Tests, the West Indies lead was unassailable.
For the final test in Antigua West Indies again won the toss and Lloyd once more asked India to bat first. A Ravi Shastri hundred, coming in at number six, along with a rapid fire 98 from Kapil Dev, 94 from Vengsarkar and, yet again, runs from Amarnath (just 54 on this occasion) meant India totaled 457. In a slightly rejigged line-up for the final Test, Joel Garner was dropped, and Winston Davis was given his Test bow.
In the Windies reply four of the regular top seven scored centuries, with Haynes making 136, Dujon 110, and Lloyd 106. It was the circumstances surrounding Gordon Greenidge’s 154 which understandably caught the most attention, though. Surmounting unimaginable emotional anguish, the great opener retired with his score on 154 to see his dying daughter Ria in hospital. As a mark of respect an exception was made to the Laws of Cricket as the Bajan was classified as “retired not out”. At the conclusion of hostilities in Antigua West Indies had won the series 2-0 with bad weather having had a significant say in the three drawn Test matches, as indeed had Indian obduracy.
For India, Mohinder Amarnath stood head and shoulders above his teammates as his 598 Test runs came at 66.44. Kapil Dev had weighed in with 254 at 42.33, while Shastri, Yashpal Sharma, and Vengsarkar had all contributed sporadically. With the ball the tourists had relied heavily on their skipper, whose 17 wickets at 24.94 proved beyond doubt that he was the sole performer of potency who could threaten the West Indies top order.
Another Indian national icon had weathered an undeniably leaner time of things. Although Sunil Gavaskar had made 147 in Georgetown, he had only managed a further 93 runs in his other 8 Test innings. Questions were being asked about his appetite for the short and fast stuff, and his ability to top the order and weather the inevitable onslaught from the pace battery. That he was to turn this round in such thrillingly attacking fashion when West Indies visited India later in 1983 is one of the great chapters in the Gavaskar story. In the early months of 1983, however, this was some way off and the world’s premier opening batsman brooded over his loss of form during the first half of the year.
For West Indies, the return to the international arena after a fourteen-month break had been a successful and reassuring one, in which the upheaval of the rebel tour was relegated to a side show – at least while Clive Lloyd’s team was out on the field. Off it, the repercussions of the South Africa tour would have manifest consequences across the region for years to come.
The on-field impression was of a slickly smooth and formidable machine coming back to life, gradually going through the gears to achieve peak efficiency. In this series all the batsmen had scored a century, although some had cashed in more than others. Greenidge had topped the averages with 393 at 78.60, while Lloyd had top scored with 407 at 67.83. Moreover, both Haynes and Dujon had averaged in excess of 50. That old warhorse A.M.E. Roberts had topped the bowling with 24 wickets at 22.70 and Marshall had seamlessly replaced Croft with 21 wickets at 23.57. Those other two seasoned operators, Holding and Garner, had looked less effective on paper, but would eventually raise their levels to optimum performance.
With the series ending on 3 May the next stop for both teams was England and the Prudential World Cup, beginning 9 June. They would meet again at the World Cup, with group stage encounters at Old Trafford and The Oval and then, in unforgettable and improbable fashion, in the final itself at Lord’s on 25 June. Of the two teams packing up their kit bags in the Caribbean and heading for the World Cup, one was a heavy favourite to achieve their third consecutive title, while the other was a 66-1 outsider. Reality, circumstance, and romance, though, have a strange habit of upsetting the bookies.
Worth noting that in the first Test India were 167-6 at tea on the final day; Roberts then took the last 4 wickets in 20 balls, and West Indies reached the target of 172 with 4 balls to spare.

![west indies tour south africa 1983 South Africa will hope to win the second Test and the](https://static.indiatvnews.com/ins-web/images/lazy-big.jpg)
A loss or no-result here might put South Africa in a must-win situation in their remaining six Test matches in the current WTC cycle. Given how the first Test played out, the Proteas would be keen on getting another spinner in the side, especially since Providence has traditionally assisted the spinners. The T20 World Cup semi-final between India and England recently in June should be enough for a hint.
Both teams will hope that the rain stays away and West Indies too will be keen to get at least one win in the Test summer having lost all three in England and drawn the first match of the ongoing series.

Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the second match of West Indies vs South Africa test series 2024 to be played between WI vs SA in Guyana.
It was a great start to South Africa’s tour of West Indies , as the first test ended in a pretty close draw. If it hadn’t rained, we would have gotten a result. Now, it is time for the second test between West Indies and South Africa.
This match will be played at the Providence Stadium, Guyana, from August 15 to 19. Whoever wins it will also win the series. West Indies bounced back well and batted with positive intent in the second innings. So, they will be looking to carry on the same while South Africa had their chances as well.

WI vs SA: Match Details
Match : West Indies (WI) vs South Africa (SA), 2nd test, South Africa tour of West Indies 2024
Match Date : August 15, 2024 (Thursday) – August 19, 2024 (Monday)
Time : 7:30 PM IST / 02:00 PM GMT / 10:00 AM LOCAL
Venue : Providence Stadium, Guyana
WI vs SA: Head-to-Head: WI (3) – SA (22)
The last match was the eighth draw between these two teams in tests. Overall, they have played 33 matches; South Africa are far ahead with 22 wins, while West Indies have won only three.
WI vs SA: Weather Report
Just like the first game, the rain might disrupt the second test as well in Guyana. There is a strong prediction of rain on second and third days of the test, and the conditions will be overcast on the other days. The maximum temperature will reach a maximum of 32° C in the next five days.
WI vs SA: Pitch Report
The pitch in Guyana is good for batting, but the rain will impact the game massively and the conditions will benefit the seamers. The average first innings score here is 351, and if it doesn’t rain much, the team that bats first will have a clear edge because the conditions for batting will deteriorate as the game progresses.

- WI vs SA Dream11 Team for today’s match (August 15, 02:00 pm GMT)
The West Indies and South Africa will square off in the decisive second Test, starting August 15 at Providence Stadium in Guyana.
The first Test in Trinidad ended in a draw, the only stalemate in Test cricket this year. The match was largely affected by rain and a slow pitch that yielded little for bowlers. The winner of the upcoming game will seal the series.
South Africa’s tour of West Indies, 2nd Test:
- Start date and time: Aug 15, 7:30 pm (IST)/ 2:00 pm (GMT)/ 10:00 am (local)
- Venue: Providence Stadium, Guyana
The Providence Stadium in Guyana is set to host its first Test match since 2011. Known for offering a challenging surface for batters, the venue has a history of favouring bowlers. While pace bowlers are expected to find assistance with extra seam and bounce, spinners are also likely to play a crucial role. Both teams will need to adapt quickly to the conditions to come out on top.
WI vs SA Dream11 Prediction Picks:
- Wicketkeeper: Kyle Verreynne
- Batters: Tony de Zorzi , Temba Bavuma, Tristan Stubbs, Alick Athanaze

3 big takeaways from 1st West Indies-South Africa Test
T he opening Test between West Indies and South Africa ended in a stalemate after rain played a massive part all through the five days. South Africa wanted to enforce a result on the final day of the Test and declared their second innings at 173/3, giving themselves an outside chance to make a match of it.
West Indies came into the series after surrendering meekly against England in the three-match away series, losing 0-3 but the home series against the Proteas was always going to be a hard-fought contest. When South Africa secured a massive first innings lead, it looked like they had the ascendancy.
However, a brilliant knock in the final innings from Alick Athanaze was instrumental in helping West Indies salvage a draw. The second Test will get underway on August 15 and both teams have an equal chance of registering a series victory.
Rain played spoilsport for the majority of Day 1 before South Africa eventually went on to post a competitive score of 356. On the back of superb spells from Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada, South Africa restricted the hosts to 233.
West Indies were set a target of 297 in the second innings at one stage it looked like they were going for the target. However, a few quick quick wickets meant that West Indies had to shut shop and settle for the draw.
Having said that, let's have a look at three big takeaways from the opening Test:
#1 The bowling performance of Keshav Maharaj
One of the biggest takeaways from South Africa's perspective was the performance of Keshav Maharaj. He was at his incredible best and bagged 8 wickets during the match on a pitch that had runs on offer if you applied yourself.
Maharaj was immaculate with his lengths and managed to extract enough turn from the pitch to trouble the West Indies batters. He mixed his off breaks with the arm balls and made things difficult for the opposition batters.
He bagged the wickets of Mikyle Louis, Keacy Kaety, Alick Athanaze, and Joshua Da Silva in the first innings which restricted West Indies to a below-par score of 233 in the first innings. It was again Maharaj who put the brakes on the hosts in the second innings.
As South Africa tried to enforce a result, Maharaj kept bowling the attacking lengths and managed to induce false shots from the Windies' top and middle-order batters. Kraigg Brathwaite was dismissed on the third ball of the final innings. Maharaj went on to add three more to finish with figures of 4/88.
#2 South Africa going for the win despite rain playing spoilsport
With rain having played a massive part, chances of enforcing a result seemed bleak for the Proteas. They could have shut shop and batted out the final day without showing any real intent but it was anything but that. Tony de Zorzi and Aiden Markram provided a perfect start as the visitors raced to 57/0 in the first 10 overs.
Tristan Stubbs who has been given a new role at No 3 and despite failing in the first innings, the platform was set for Stubbs. He was sent with a clear message to attack and he didn't disappoint. He came down hard on the West Indies, scoring a quickfire 68 off 50 deliveries.
They declared the innings with 64 overs left in the day's place giving them an outside chance of bowling out the hosts. Keshav Maharaj in particular made things happen but a superb knock from Alick Athanaze ensured West Indies salvaged a draw.
#3 Temba Bavuma getting back in form and Stubbs flourishing in his new role
Coming into this game, the South African skipper Temba Bavuma was short of runs. Despite having a sound technique and a penchant for runs, Bavuma hasn't been as consistent in the longest format as he would have wanted.
However, he has a good record against West Indies and oozed class and confidence during his brilliant knock in the first innings. While he couldn't quite convert his start into a century, the knock of 86 was enough to help South Africa post a competitive score of 357.
Meanwhile, Proteas' head coach Shukri Conrad wants to give Tristan Stubbs a long run at No. 3 and he didn't disappoint in his new role. After failing in the first innings, he went berserk in the second, helping South Africa set an unrealistic victory target for West Indies.
