Lord Kitchener penned a Calypso in 1950 to commemorate the first-ever victory by the West Indies over England in England. It was titled Victory Calypso and went like this: "Cricket lovely Cricket, At Lord's where I saw it; Yardley tried his best But Goddard won the Test. They gave the crowd plenty fun; Second Test and West Indies won."

Singer Egbert Moore was accompanied by two West Indians in the chorus. Name them?
