batsmen at Cardiff with a bewildering display, taking 11-70 in the match. Glamorgan made 138 and the visitors then collapsed against McConnon (six for 50) and were 87 for nine by the close. Scenting another Welsh victory over the tourists, 15,000 people crammed into the Arms Park on Whit Monday to see Wes Hall and Tom Dewdney add another 32, the total reaching 119. Ramadhin then struck again and West Indies needed only 97, Rohan Kanhai (52) helping to get them home with five wickets to spare, although there were some tense moments. At Swansea, where 18,000 people attended on the first day, they repeated their success, Ramadhin having a match analysis of 11-131 and Alf Valentine also chipping in. After rain had ruled out any play on Whit Saturday in 1958, Wooller kept the game open by declaring at 175 for six against the New Zealanders. They responded with 215 (D’Arcy 89, Jim Pressdee’s slow left-arm spin six for 77); 40 ahead with only two and a half hours remaining on the final day. Cave, with a spell of 8-8-0-4 then reduced Glamorgan to 19 for six, MacGibbon took over and the innings closed for 69. New Zealand needed 30 in the half-hour of extra time and got them for the loss of one wicket. They also had the better of the draw at Swansea in August, Harford making a hundred and Moir’s leg spin troubling the home batsmen. With Wooller injured, Watkins captained a young Glamorgan team against the Indians at Cardiff in 1959 and a maiden hundred for Pressdee enabled them to reach 182. Modest it might have been but it soon looked formidable as the Indians crashed to 96 for seven by the close and 112 all out on Monday. Watkins made 61 and some big hitting from McConnon and Shepherd meant the Indians needed 294. They closed at 51 for one and kept the challenge going on Tuesday, falling 51 short. Due revenge was taken at Swansea, India winning by 114 runs despite Shepherd’s 10-134 in the match, Glamorgan fielding the youngest side in their history. Shepherd was again in fine form at Swansea during the 1960 August match against South Africa but the tourists had by the far the better of the two games. At Whitsun all eyes were on Geoff Griffin, who, after being called for throwing, had spent time at Alf Gover’s school. Operating from the River Taff end at the Arms Park he was scrutinised and approved by umpires Harry Baldwin and Emrys Davies, although he delivered only 18 wicketless overs in the match. Baldwin, at square leg, did no ball Don Ward, the off spin bowler on Whit Monday - for having too many fieldsmen on the leg side. Baldwin had been waiting 20 years to find an error from Wooller and when the Glamorgan captain challenged him, he pointed to a man a foot to the on side of the sightscreen on the long on boundary as the sixth player. Wooller, as ever, had the last laugh. “Harry, you clot, that person on the ropes is a bloke with a white coat on selling scorecards.” The match was a rout, South Africa winning by an innings, Jackie McGlew and Trevor Goddard each making big hundreds in an opening stand of 256. The result was equally emphatic at St Helen’s when Tayfield spun the home side to defeat by nine wickets. Wooller was missing when the Australians came to Cardiff and Swansea in 1961, his career now all but over. Norman O’Neill and Harvey gave the Arms Park crowd a Saturday treat; Glamorgan followed on and then Pressdee made the first-ever hundred by a Glamorgan batsman against the Australians. Ossie Wheatley’s declaration left them 117 in 65 minutes; they ended at 90 without loss. In August some good bowling by Shepherd and Peter Walker reduced the Australians to 192; Shepherd then lashed 51 (25 balls) in 15 minutes (six sixes Tourist Trade 175
