Joe Small (cricketer)
Joseph A. "Joe" Small (3 November 1892 – 26 April 1958) was a West Indian cricketer who played in West Indies' first Test in their inaugural Test tour of England. He scored the first half century for a West Indies player in Test cricket and played two further Test matches in his career. An all-rounder, he played domestic cricket for Trinidad between 1909 and 1932.
Small first played cricket in Trinidad for a club of low social status. After establishing himself in the Trinidad team, he soon made a name for himself as a batsman and was one of the few black batsmen in the West Indies team at the time. For Trinidad, he was one of the cricketers instrumental in breaking the dominance of the Barbados cricket team in the Inter-Colonial Tournament. He first played for West Indies in 1912–13 and, after the First World War, was chosen to tour England twice. He was moderately successful on the 1923 tour, but was less effective in 1928. Small played in the middle of the batting order; he bowled either medium-fast or off breaks. He died in 1958.
==Early career==
Small was born in Princes Town, Trinidad, in 1892.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/0/484/484.html )〕 He first played cricket for a club in Trinidad called Stingo,〔James, p. 57.〕 which included players from the lowest social class. Cricket in Trinidad at the time was divided along racial lines. For cricket clubs on the island, the colour of a player's skin was crucial. Stingo was described by writer and historian C. L. R. James: "They were plebeians: the butcher, the tailor, the candlestick maker, the casual labourer, with a sprinkling of unemployed. Totally black and of no social status whatever."〔James, p. 50〕 James described Small as a genial presence on the cricket field: "Small talked to everybody and everybody talked to him: Joe radiated good nature and self-satisfaction."〔James, p. 69.〕 Outside of his cricket career, Small worked for the Stores Department of Trinidad Leaseholds oil company.〔 〕
Small made his first-class debut for Trinidad on 11 November 1909, playing against a team chosen by WC Shepherd. Small scored 13 and 0 in the match and bowled two over without taking a wicket. The following January, Small made his first appearance for Trinidad in the Inter-Colonial Tournament; he scored seven runs in his only innings and took four for 16 in British Guiana's first innings.〔 In the final against Barbados, he took one wicket in the game and scored 17 and 8 in his two innings. Trinidad won the match.〔〔 Later that year, Small played against Barbados again, in the final of the next Inter-Colonial Tournament, but had little success in that match, nor in the 1912 tournament when his best score in two games was 15 runs, and he took a total of three wickets. In both instances, Barbados won the tournament.〔
