Andrew Gordon Ganteaume (22 January 1921 – 17 February 2016)[2] was a Trinidadian cricketer who played one Test match for the West Indies in 1948 as a batsman.

[4] However, an injury to Jeff Stollmeyer, one of the West Indies' opening batsmen, before the game meant that Ganteaume was called up into the side.

[6] Once more, Ganteaume was criticised for slow batting, although he later suggested that he had concentrated on scoring singles to allow his in-form partner to face the bowling.

The innings took around 270 minutes, but he slowed down as he neared three-figures, and the West Indies' captain sent out a note asking the batsmen to score faster.

[4] Other batsmen also batted slowly, and Ganteaume later claimed that England used negative, run-saving tactics to slow the scoring rate.

He did not bat in the second innings, when the West Indies needed to score runs quickly in an unsuccessful attempt to win the game.

The match was drawn, having been earlier interrupted by rain which cut the playing time,[4] but in the knowledge that quick scoring was vital, Ganteaume's slow batting adversely affected the West Indies' chances of victory.

[3] Ganteaume did not play in the next Test match—he was replaced by John Goddard who came into the team as part of a pre-arranged scheme to rotate the captaincy.
