What's the name of that black player from Port Moraunt who toured India with the WI.
John Trim.
Tommie Burton ...
Realising that his colour and roots would severely limit his opportunities in Barbados he emigrated to British Guiana in 1899 where there were more chances for coloured cricketers.
Even in British Guiana his role as a practice bolwer resulted in him being classed as a Professional and hence excluded from the Inter-Colonial Tournament.
He sufficiently impressed in British Guiana to be selected for the 1900 tour to England even though he had not played a single important match.
He was described before the tour as :
"Probably the best bowler in the West Indies, using his head to great
advantage. Hard hitting, run-getting bat "
