The second volume of Hand-in-Hand History of Cricket in Guyana examines the stagnation of the game in colonial Guyana (British Guiana) in the decade and a half before the Great War. Guyanese cricket was stained with a stubborn mediocrity. The GCC remained enmeshed in the race, colour and class assumptions of the age. Social and natural forces, therefore, were instrumental in diminishing the potentiality of the local game in British Guiana. Still, throughout British Guiana among all races, the passion for cricket remained inviolable: the seed never died despite the unpropitious character of the soil.
