ansah: again in the 1929-30 first ever test series against england in the westindies due to the peculiar selection arrangements of those days in the Jamaica test, which was the fourth and final test of that series..a record setting match,...8 Jamaicans played on the westindies side for the westindies. they were: R K Nunes, the Yardie aristocrat, captain, G Gladstone, O C Scott, O C DaCosta, I Barrow, C C Passailaigue, G Headley, F R martin.
also in that series 7 Trinidadians played in the second test at the QPO, 6 Bajans in the first. about 5 Guyanese played in the third at Bourda, when the captaincy passed to the guyanese jefe, M P Fernandes
