Uton Dowe

Uton Dowe Biography

Dowe was quick. And that was about all that can be said about him. Other than that he was ordinary. Very ordinary.

Nevertheless, the West Indian bowling of the early 1970s was so wafer-thin that he was asked to be the fast-bowling spearhead their attack. Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith had moved one and Roberts and Holding were yet to arrive. Garry Sobers had a troublesome shoulder, and in the spin department Lance Gibbs had to be dropped because of lack of wickets. Hence, Dowe was assigned to provide breakthroughs at the top of the order.

He did capture 4 for 69 on debut at Kensington Oval, including Sunil Gavaskar and Pochiah Krishnamurthy with just 5 runs on the board. But after that he did little else.

Erratic and disorganised, his career came to a quick and undignified end when Keith Stackpole unleashed fireworks during his 142 at Kingston, sending him to all parts of the ground, with the crowd waving banners that proclaimed the makeshift commandment: ‘Dowe shalt not bowl.’ His 12 wickets came at 44.90 apiece.
