An opening bowler and lower-order batsman, Bourne was one of the leading bowlers for the West Indies youth team on their unbeaten tour of England in 1970.[1] He played at first with Barbados and then with Warwickshire during the 1970s. After leaving Warwickshire he moved to Zambia, and represented East Africa in the 1982 ICC Trophy.[2]
Bourne scored his only first-class century against Sussex in 1976, when he went to the wicket with the score at 174 for 7 and added 203 for the eighth wicket with Geoff Humpage.[3] Four days earlier he had taken his best first-class bowling figures of 6 for 47 against Cambridge University.[4]
