Hendriks, currently the president of the Jamaica Cricket Association, says it’s a tradition that all the boys are aware of. “We heard a lot about Barrow and his hundred at Old Trafford. It was passed on from one generation to the next and everyone wanted to be a wicketkeeper.” Dujon remembers the spin-friendly tracks he played on, a fact that contributed to the development of his skill. Baugh, in fact, started off as a legspinner but, almost inevitably, turned to keeping.

Hendriks also fondly recalls how two Wolmer wicketkeepers spotted a third. “In the early ‘60s, Gerry and myself were amazed at a six-year-old boy called Jeffery who used to dive around like an acrobat and pull superbly. It didn’t surprise us at all that he went on to becoming one of the great keepers of all time.” Dujon didn’t disappoint them; and Wolmer, as usual, was true to its tradition.
