England's summer can be fairly unpredictable as rain played a spoilsport in the drawn first Test match between Eng- land and New Zealand.

They have joined the list of fellow cricketing icons who have re- ceived this prestigious honour. The late Learie Constantine was an early pioneer of West Indies cricket and an outstanding all- rounder. He was a member of the celebrated team which played in the first Test match in West In- dies history in England in June, 1928. He played 18 Test match- es and made an indelible contri- bution to the sport and the West Indian community at home and abroad. Haynes was one of the most successful open- ing batsmen in the history of the game and formed a world famous batting partnership with his long- standing teammate, Gordon Greenidge. He was a member of the West Indies World Cup champion team in 1979. Haynes played 116 Test matches and scored 7,487 runs, including 18 centuries, at an average of 42.3. He also made 8,648 runs in 238 One-Day Internationals, which included 17 centuries. Haynes in response said: “I am deeply honored to be inducted into and receive the prestigious International Cricket Council Hall of Fame Award. To be recog- nized by my peers is very spe- cial. It is really humbling to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame! It is an even greater honor to be placed in such distin- guished ranks as those of the past honorees, some of whom have been colleagues at one time or another, all of whom have made important contributions to the International Cricket arena. When I look back at my journey coming from that small area called Holder’s Hill in Barbados, I am thankful for everyone who was a part of my journey. Thank you to those who nominated me and of course thank you to my lovely wife Elen Haynes, kids, family, friends and fans. Giving all thanks and glory to God.” Monday, June 14th, 2021 Contribution of Indo-West Indians in Caribbean Cricket Part 9 Kalli destroyed Lillee Alvin Kallicharran cut, pulled, slashed, drove and hooked Austral- ia’s greatest fast bow- ler with unprecedent- ed majesty and skill.

  • New Zealand Vs India 2020
    Published 28.1.20 Dream start to multi-format tour for India; younger players take centre-stage Two convincing wins achieved on the same pitch that behaved completely differently in the two matches in Eden Park have given India a vice-like grip over New Zealand in the Twenty20 International series. This dream start to the multi-format tour is indicative of the mindset and fighting spirit of this Indian team. I was impressed by what Virat said leading into the series – that despite a hard-fought three-match ODI series against Australia, the long flight to Auckland, the short turnaround time and entirely different conditions, his side wasn’t going to be looking for excuses, that they would be switched on from ball one of the first T20I. That speaks to the attitude of the unit as a whole, and it manifested itself in the brand of cricket they played over the weekend. The first game called for a furious assault on a target of 204, the second needed a more pragmatic approach after New Zealand were restricted to 132. India were clinical in both encounters, the same set of batsmen delivering the goods. It wasn’t the usual match-winners who came up trumps. Instead, and heart-warmingly with the larger picture in mind, KL Rahul and ShreyasIyer reinforced their coming of age at this level, taking up the responsibility of piloting the side home. Rahul’s talent has never been in doubt since he broke through towards the end of 2014. He seemed to have lost his way a- bit but in the last few months, since being dropped from the Test team, he has gone back and - had a hard look at himself, and has returned stronger, more organised and in control of his plans.
