Birth of the hard-hitting West Indian left-hander Roy Fredericks

1942
Dashing openers are ten-a-penny in the modern age, but in the days when
openers blocked and middle-order batters attacked,the West Indian
left-hander Roy Fredericks, who was born today, was a revelation.

His blistering 169 against Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson
on a Perth flyer in 1975-76 was one of the most audacious innings
ever played in a Test, and though Fredericks was only 5ft 6in tall,
he gave the ball a fearful whack

Fredericks played 59 Tests in all, bowing out against Pakistan
in Jamaica in 1976-77 with a typically flamboyant 83.
He later became sports minister of his native Guyana.
Fredericks died of cancer in New York in September 2000.

AlondraSunil Narine has called time on his eight-year international career. He last played for West Indies in a T20I in August 2019.

"I appreciate it has been over four years since I last played for West Indies, but today I am announcing my retirement from international cricket," Narine wrote on Instagram.		(05.11.2023, 13:43)(13:43)0
