West Indies cricket great Rev Wes Hall will focus on the contribution made by former West Indies all-rounder, Jamaican O’Neil Gordon ‘Collie’ Smith, when he addresses the annual reunion dinner of the Kingston College Old Boys Association at the Hilton, Kingston Hotel, this evening at 7 o’clock, the organisation said in a news release.

Hall, 72, played Test cricket with Smith during the 1950s, before the Jamaican’s untimely death in a motor vehicle accident in England in 1959.

Smith, the brother of former Jamaica cricketer and present first vice-president of the Jamaica Cricket Board, Lindel Wright, was the fourth West Indian to score a century on debut.

He totalled 1331 runs from 26 Tests at an average of 31.69 and a best of 168 against England. He also took 48 wickets at 33.85 each.

The KC Old Boys will also honour members of the victorious Manning Cup squads of 1964 and 1965 which won all schoolboy football titles available.

The five surviving members of the school’s first successful Manning Cup team in 1949 will also be recognised.

Hall took 192 wickets in 48 Tests between 1958 and 1969, with a best of seven for 69 against England at Sabina Park in 1960. He ended with 546 wickets from 170 first class matches.

After his retirement, he served as a selector and manager of the West Indies team and president of the West Indies Cricket Board from 2001 to 2003.

A former Member of Parliament and senator and minister of tourism in Barbados, Hall now serves as a Pentecostal minister.
