Born 31 August 1944 at Queenstown, Georgetown, Demerara, Guyana
A strong tall man, Clive Lloyd was a middle-order batsman who hit the ball with tremendous power. He was one of West Indies most successful captains, winning 36 and losing just 12 of his record 74 Tests in charge. He also led them in 81 ODIs and to two World Cup titles in 1975 and 1979. In the 1975 final he struck a match-winning 102 off 85 balls.
He made his highest Test score of 242* against India at Bombay in 1975. He was the first West Indian to appear in 100 Tests. He was a useful medium-pacer. As a fielder he one of the finest cover fielders around until knee injuries got the better of him and he moved into the slips. He stayed involved in the game as West Indies coach and as an ICC Match Referee.
