- Description
Three members of the 1980 West Indian cricket team hold banners reading 'No playo todayo' and 'Won't take strike! On strike!'
Context: refers to tensions in the second cricket test played at Carisbrook in Dunedin 22-27 February 1980. At tea on the third day, the West Indies team refused to return to the field until the New Zealand umpire Fred Goodall was replaced. After being convinced by New Zealand captain Geoff Howarth to return to the field, the West Indians resumed play after a 12-minute delay. Nevertheless, the West Indians began packing their bags after the day's play with the apparent intention of abandoning the Test and series and returning home. This option was forbidden, however, by the chairman of the West Indian Cricket Board, Jeff Stollmeyer. (Wikipedia)
