Desmond Haynes is a retired West Indian cricketer and former captain of the West Indies cricket team. He played 116 Test 238 One Day International (ODI) matches, and scored 7,487 and 8,648 runs respectively. [1] He scored centuries (100 or more runs in an innings) in Test matches and One Day International (ODI) matches on 18 and 17 occasions respectively during his international career. [2] [3] He was rated by Trinidad and Tobago Guardian as "one of the greatest of all time", [4] while the BBC described him as "one of the greatest opening partnerships in history with fellow Barbadian Gordon Greenidge." [5] The cricket almanac Wisden noted his "combination of timing and barely evident power", and named him one of their Cricketers of the Year in 1991. [6]
Haynes made his Test debut against Australia at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, in March 1978. [7] His first Test century came in February 1980 against New Zealand at the Carisbrook, Dunedin, a match the West Indies lost by one wicket. [8] His highest score of 184 runs came the same year against England at the Lord's Cricket Ground, London. [9] [10] Five of his Test centuries came against Australia. [2] Haynes scored Test centuries at twelve cricket grounds, against five different opponents, including eight at venues outside the West Indies. [11] [12] As of October 2023, he is seventh in the list of Test century-makers for the West Indies. [13]
Haynes scored a century on his ODI debut in February 1978 against Australia at the Antigua Recreation Ground, St John's. [14] His score of 148 runs in the match earned him a man of the match award, resulting in the West Indies' win. [15] His highest score in ODIs remained 152 runs, against India at the Bourda, Georgetown in March 1989. [3] Due to his man-of-the-match performance, the West Indies won the match by 101 runs, and the series 5–0. [16] He was most successful against Australia making six ODI centuries against them. [3] Haynes' 17 ODI centuries was previously a record, until Sachin Tendulkar surpassed it in 1998. [1] [17] As of October 2023, Haynes is the third in the list of ODI century-makers for the West Indies. [18]
