Roy Fredericks said Joe Best is the toughest left arm spinner he has ever faced

Joe Doolam (Dullam) is my great friend. He is the cricketer I love most of all cricketers. On the Upper Corentyne Coast,  Joe Doolam, was most popularly  known as Joe Best. He endured a most unfortunate career. Joe Doolam made only one appearance for Berbice. He played in the game at Bourda. Fredericks and Etwaroo, in their contrasting styles, both recorded centuries against Essequebo. 

I never had any reason to think much of Joe Solomon. In fact, Joe Solomon is numbered amongst the players whom I hate. I believe Joe Solomon was fortunate. He was a substandard player at best. He was like a number of others.  Joe Solomon was a detriment to the development of the game in Berbice and in deed Guyana. Most importantly, he killed the aspirations of a number of players including Joe Best of # 64 Village, Corentyne.  The Cricket Board of Control was populated with persons who demonstrated bias and prejudices. BCBC may or may not practiced politics of out-right racism whenever selecting a representative team. However, players attached to the estate teams were preferred over those who were not. 
Joe Dullam bowled a grand total of ten overs in the match. He did not bat. And he never represented Berbice again. 
However, Roy Fredericks said Joe Best is the toughest left arm spinner he has ever faced.
