Gemunu, our major Land-base in Colombo, and being quite keen to see the great West Indians in action, but not keen enough to stand in a queue about two miles long, in front of the Times Newspaper Office, Colombo, in Uniform, I decided to go back to Barracks and write this tribute to the team, went back to discuss it with the Manager of the Times, who presented me with a gold pass to enable me to watch the match together WITH the W.I.team, from their dressing room at the ground. These guys were all great personalities and made me feel very welcome, even though it didn&#8217;t stop them from giving the Ceylon team quite a hiding that afternoon. I was so very proud to meet them all personally and informed them about &#8220;their own Calypso&#8221; which was published in our Newspapers, that same week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Without any further ado, here is my\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Original Composition\/Tribute to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Calypso de\/Windies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">(Especially edited for eLanka)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">If ever there was a Cricket Team,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">to hit top-rung in the World&#8217;s esteem,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">there wouldn&#8217;t be the slightest doubt,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">playing great cricket, on any wicket,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">it&#8217;s the Windies, we&#8217;re talking about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In every Test Match in Australia,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">their&#8217;s was a much superior game, by far, laughing at mistakes Umpire Hoy had made, &amp; playing bright Cricket, as it should be played.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">From Captain Worrel to their last batsman, their one great moral, was to stand and slam, the Windie&#8217;s bowling, it was quite the same, with Garfield Sobers, Gibbs, and &#8220;Hall&#8221; of fame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">A man called Gerry, right behind the stumps, no ball got past him despite all the bumps, still another batsman, full of &#8220;do or die&#8221;, was known to the World as R. Kanhai.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Then Hunte &amp; Cammie Smith were both quite fine, and so were Ramadhin and Valentine, there was Bowler Chester Watson, who tried so hard, and had the Aussie Batsmen always on their guard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;
