About Uton Dowe
Born 1949. Uton Dowe is a Jamaican cricketer.
Uton George Dowe (born 29 March 1949) is a former Jamaican cricketer. He played four Test matches for the West Indies as a fast bowler from 1971 to 1973.
He played for Jamaica from the 1969β70 season to the 1976β77 season. He was the leading wicket-taker in the 1970β71 Shell Shield season, with 24 wickets at 15.75, including 2 for 34 and 7 for 19 in the match against Combined Leeward and Windward Islands, a performance that was immediately rewarded with his Test debut in the Fourth Test against India, in which he took 4 for 69 and 1 for 22.
Despite his short Test career, Dowe is famous for the so-called 11th commandment, 'Dowe shalt not bowl', dished out to him by spectators in his final Test match against Australia in 1972β73 in response to his erratic bowling to Keith Stackpole.
