Elvis Leroy Reifer (21 March 1961 – 26 August 2011) was a Barbadian cricketer.
Reifer was born in Barbados at Saint George in March 1961, alongside his twin-brother George. He was educated at Saint George Secondary School. [1] Reifer was a key member of the Pickwick Cricket Club in the early 1980s, where as a left-arm fast-medium bowler he opened the bowling alongside Odwin Gilkes. [1] He was signed by Hampshire for the 1984 English season as a replacement for Milton Small, who had been called up to the West Indian team prior to his arrival. [2] He made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Cambridge University at Fenner's, [3] taking 4 for 43. [2] Reifer made twenty first-class appearances during his one season at Hampshire, [3] taking 49 wickets at an average of 35.93, with his best figures remaining those he took on debut. [4] With the bat, he scored 357 runs at a batting average of 19.83, with a highest score of 47. [5] In addition to playing first-class cricket for Hampshire, Reifer also made his debut in List A one-day cricket for the county against the Combined Universities cricket team in the 1984 Benson & Hedges Cup. He made sixteen one-day appearances for Hampshire, [6] taking 19 wickets at an average of 28.73, with best figures of 4 for 46. [7] Wisden noted that "although bowling well on occasions, he did not make the hoped-for impact", [8] and so was not retained for the 1985 season. [1]
Returning to Barbados, Reifer made a single first-class appearance for Barbados against Trinidad and Tobago in the 1985–86 Shell Shield. [3] Despite going wicketless in the match, he did make an unbeaten half century batting at number ten in the Barbados first innings. [9] He also made three one-day appearances for Barbados in the 1985–86 Geddes Grant/Harrison Line Trophy, [6] but failed to take a wicket in these matches. [7] Reifer died in his sleep on 26 August 2011 at Bridgetown. [1] He was married to Carol Roberts-Reifer, a well known radio and television personality in Barbados, [1] with their son Raymon playing international cricket for the West Indies. Besides his twin-brother, his elder brother, Leslie, also played first-class and one-day cricket for Barbados. His nephew, Floyd Reifer, is a former captain of the West Indies cricket team. [8]
