Wolmer's Boys School was once referred to, locally, as the "University of Cricket" having the most wins of the Sunlight Cup for Inter Scholastic Under 19 Cricket. Wolmer's Boys has produced many cricketers that have represented Jamaica and the West Indies Cricket Team. As a matter of fact, Wolmer's Boys' School is noted in cricket in the West Indies for having produced six test wicket-keepers. The Daily Telegraph wrote: "One school: six Test wicket-keepers. There has never been any nurturing like it.".

Famous quotes containing the word cricket:
“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
