In this black and white vintage photograph from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the glorious summer of 1984 during the West Indies cricket tour of England. The image captures two legendary cricketers, Desmond Haynes and Eldine Baptiste, meticulously preparing their kit before a tour match at Colwyn Bay. Haynes and Baptiste, both members of the formidable Windies team at the peak of their powers, exude an air of confidence as they ensure every aspect of their equipment is in perfect order. Their dedication to detail reflects the professionalism that propelled them to greatness on the cricket field. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of the dominance exhibited by West Indies during that Test series. With unparalleled skill and unwavering determination, they clinched victory with an astonishing 5-0 triumph over England. The monochromatic tones add a touch of nostalgia to this remarkable moment captured by Mail Newspapers' sport photographers.
