6 Acknowledgements Thanks are due, as always in this series, to Philip Bailey for extracting the scorecards from the Cricket Archive database, and for updating them from his own researches at the British Library to ensure that the scorecards included here are as complete and accurate as possible. My thanks also go to Adam Frankowski for his help with various arcane details deriving from his great knowledge of West Indies cricket, and to John Bryant, editor of this series, for his help and good advice at all stages of the book’s preparation. Last but certainly not least, thanks go to Nicola Liddle of The City Press Leeds Ltd for undertaking the typesetting with her customary speed and remarkable accuracy. Needless to say, any errors remaining in the book are my responsibility alone. Keith Walmsley July 2020 Namesakes Some earlier volumes in this series, dealing with cricket in Pakistan, have been obliged to include details of namesakes who played in the same season, and sometimes in the same side, in order to distinguish each player from others bearing the same name. In the period and region covered by this book, there is only one such instance that calls for an explanation here. Between 1986/87 and 1994/95, an opening batsman named Sudesh Dhaniram played regularly for Guyana, and he was joined in the side by his younger brother Sunil Dhaniram in the three seasons from 1992/93 to 1994/95 inclusive. In those three seasons, these two players are distinguished from each other in the scorecards by the use of their forenames. In the seasons from 1989/90 to 1991/92 inclusive, only Sudesh played in the Guyana side, so in these seasons his name is given simply as ‘S.Dhaniram’.
