There was a scramble among the West Indies team for stumps as spectators rushed to the middle. John Goddard, the West Indies captain, led the sprint for the pavilion as well-wishers mobbed his team. “Frustrated in their efforts to get near the players, [the crowd] then joined up in a follow-my-leader fashion and victory jog around the field,” reported The Gleaner. “Bottles of rum were produced as if by magic and toasts were drunk to Goddard.” About 30 policemen barred the fans from getting too close to the pavilion itself.
