| Cricketer, born in Cantaro, NW Trinidad, West Indies. He came to prominence in the 1994 season, when he broke several cricketing records, scoring seven centuries in eight successive innings, and breaking the world Test record with 375 for the West Indies against England. Six weeks later he became the first batsman to score over 500 runs in one innings in first-class cricket, playing for Warwickshire against Durham. After a slump in form, he burst back to life with three successive centuries against Australia in 1999. He has twice captained the West Indies (1997–2000, 2003– ). |
