Andy Ganteaume

Trinidadian cricketer

Andrew Gordon Ganteaume (22 January 1921 – 17 February 2016) was a Trinidadian cricketer who played one Test match for the West Indies in 1948 as a batsman.

He scored 112 in his only Test innings which left him with the highest Test batting average in history until it was surpassed by Kurtis Patterson.

Ganteaume played for Trinidad from a young age and was chosen to play in a Test match against England following his good batting form in 1948.

However, his slow scoring probably cost him his place and he never played another Test, although he toured England with the West Indies in 1957.

At the time of his death, Ganteaume was the oldest surviving West Indies Test cricketer.
