It is difficult to believe that a batsman as graceful yet impeccable as Michael Robin Bynoe had played only four Tests for West Indies. Picked as a teenage prodigy in the late 1950s, his career amounted to only four Tests over a span of eight years despite his talent.
It was not that Bynoe was an ordinary batsman by any standards. He was good enough to make it to the Barbados team that  armed with the Ws (Clyde Walcott, Frank Worrell and Everton Weekes), Garry Sobers and Conrad Hunte  could have given most Test sides a run for their money. He also bowled sporadic left-arm mixed-bag and was a fine fielder.
His First-Class career (that spanned 15 years) involved only 56 matches, which demonstrates lack of organisation of West Indian cricket of the era. He scored 3,572 runs at 41.05 with six hundreds and held 45 catches; from four Tests he scored 111 at 18.50 with a highest score of 48.
Early days
Born in Alleynedale, Black Rock, St Michael, Bynoe took to cricket at a very early age. He was the grandson of Henry Austin, a Barbadian batsman who played at the turn of the 20th century. Bynoe’s cousin Michael
