An interesting cricket autobiography Brash, cocky and arrogant, Tino's story and his opinions on West Indies cricket and other subjects come to that are confrontational maybe, but generally to the point. It can be argued that he never really fulfilled his potential, but I for one would not have relished facing him at his fastest. A good, interesting read. View 1 comment.

Then again, his 95 against England at Edgbaston in was also pretty memorable. Best briefly held the record for the highest score by a No. More recently, thanks to the serialisation of one of the chapters from his book, entitled "The Playboy Lifestyle", he came to attention for his love of maidens. No, not that kind. As he writes: "I was a man whore. There are many reasons to remember the name Tino la Bertram Best - not least because of that distinctive, flamboyant "la Bertram" in the middle, which Best claims means "the greatest". Sadly his bowling is not right at the top of the list; and that really is a shame, given that, for a time at least, he was one of the quickest going around. Despite his relative lack of success at international level, it is impossible not to warm to Best and be impressed by his life story. Inspired by his uncle, the West Indies batsman Carlisle Best, and the example set by his mother and four aunts, Best overcame the apparent disadvantage of being 5ft 8in to open the bowling for Barbados - for whom he has an excellent record - and then West Indies. Capable of getting it through above 95mph, he rubbed shoulders with Brett Lee and Shoaib Akhtar in cricket's fast lane. Growing up without the influence of his father, who struggled with drug addiction and never saw Best play for West Indies, he overcame rejection at the start of his career, having turned up late for a trial with Barbados Unders. Although he wanted to be like Uncle Carlisle - who hooked his third ball in Tests for six and scored against England in Bridgetown in - Best discovered he could bowl at the sort of speed revered around the Caribbean as "pace like fire". In his own, inimitable, words: "I was as fast as a raccoon. He was, however, "a Ferrari without a steering wheel", and it would not be long before he sped off course at one of the many bends in the road encountered over a year career. After being called up to face Australia at the age of 21, he experienced the unique difficulties involved with representing a collection of countries under one flag. West Indies players are "all from different nations, with different cultures and from different backgrounds", making team spirit harder to build. The fact that he saw Ricky Ponting dropped off his bowling by Shivnarine Chanderpaul - in the gully, where Best observes "there'd be no way" his Barbados team-mate Sulieman Benn would have missed the chance - on his first day in Test cricket did not help. There was also the expectation that came with being a quick bowler from a lineage as rich as West Indies'. It was more than a year later that Best bagged his first Test wicket - England's Graeme Thorpe, caught at long leg attempting to hook, at Sabina Park - and his first crack at international cricket seemed to bring rewards inversely proportional to the effort Best put in. This was when Best's off-field performances overtook his impact with bat or ball for West Indies. A father himself at the age of 19, Best cheated on his childhood sweetheart and subsequently decided to enjoy the opportunities afforded by the lifestyle of an international athlete. On a tour of Australia, he was overlooked by the coach, Bennett King. It all comes across as slightly cringe-worthy, despite Best's winning smile and apparent good nature. He says he's a deeply religious man, and observes towards the book's conclusion: "I've done a few things that God might not like in my time. Best's career may have added up to 57 caps and 97 wickets for West Indies but his love for the game pours out, and he certainly left a mark - on Makhaya Ntini, who was struck by his pace as a net bowler on South Africa's tour; on Flintoff, who provides the foreword to Mind the Windows ; on Sachin Tendulkar, who faced Best in his final Test. Yorkshire fans will remember his lung-busting contributions, too, and there are affectionate mentions for his polar-opposites bowling partner, Steve Patterson, and former coach Martyn Moxon. Best's philosophy is summed up when he discusses missing out on what would have been a remarkable Test hundred in , when he was caught trying to damage the windows again:. I enjoy the game and want to make people happy. One on one day, another on another day. I was young and loving the lifestyle. I think my record, on an eleven-week tour to Australia in , was more than A plush hotel with a professional sportsman: the girls loved it. Check out: Lady police officer catches party-loving Chris Gayle? One night I had three girls at once. Best rests on the bonnet of a red Ferrari, captioning his snap: 'To walk around with an ego is a BAD thing'. I had my first menage a trois in the Crowne Plaza hotel in Birmingham. That blew my mind. I think they are amazing. No, not at all. There was no one who trained harder than me for Barbados or the West Indies. A lot of girls recognised me and said I was familiar but they thought I was an American who played American Football or something. They just knew I was a professional sportsman and thought I must have been on vacation.

As a kid I modelled myself on my uncle. He made against England in on his return to the team at age of Best has watched countless times Fire in Babylon , the documentary released last year telling the story of the political and cricketing significance of the great West Indian sides. It inspired me. For somebody to say no I am not going to take a million dollars to play cricket in a place where my people are abused is fantastic. He means so much to me. He is a fantastic person. That is all I have to say about that. Best has had his own problems with discipline. He is now enjoying redemption and forgiveness, fitting really because Best is a committed Christian and thanks God regularly during our interview. It was really heart- warming at Middlesex on Wednesday. I met this kid who was on crutches. I told him that I hope it can be an inspiration to work hard, get off those crutches and walk of your own free will. To do what I did on Sunday made me feel proud. We showed the world that as West Indians we are still passionate about cricket and what to do well. We are not going to be scared of anybody. In startling sex revelations in his autobiography 'Mind the Window: My Story', the former West Indies pacer reveals how he and his team-mates used to enjoy while on tour. He was one of the fastest bowlers in recent times, but it's what he did off the cricket pitch that West Indies pacer Tino Best apparently sees as as his claim to fame. In his autobiography 'Mind the Windows: My Story', which is soon to be published, the Barbadian has made startling claims about his sex life, describing himself as a "man whore" and a "playboy" who has slept with over women when on tour. Calling out Dwayne Bravo as his "partner is crime", Best said he and his West Indies team-mates used to have sexual competitions on tour. Now, Best is in a long list of retired cricketers who have written an autobiography, but what has made news even before its launch are the lurid details of his off-field exploits. Here are some explosive excerpts from the book, revealed in a story published on news. Best says in his book he became a playboy after his first love Melissa left him. His friends told him she would come running back if he took more wickets for Barbados. When she called it a day, I became a bit of a playboy. Put it this way: I was a man whore. I used to go on five or six dates a week, all with different girls. The article quotes Best as saying in his book that he and his team-mates used to have sexual competitions while on tour.
