, born acted as captain for one of the 27 matches, against
Australia at
Port Of Spain in 1983-84). He was the first West Indian player to earn 100 international caps.
Lloyd was a tall, powerful middle-order batsman and occasional medium-pace bowler. He scored over 7500 runs at Test level, at an average of 46.67. His scholarly appearance and slight stoop masked his obvious talent as a batsman. He wore his famous glasses due to a fight when he was young at school, which damaged his eyes. He hit 77 sixes in his Test career, which is the sixth highest number of any player. He played for his home nation of Guyana in West Indies domestic cricket, and for
Lancashire (he was made captain in
1981 ) in
England . His Test match debut came in
1966 . In
1971 he was named
Wisden Cricketer Of The Year . He is a cousin of spin bowler
Lance Gibbs .
Since retiring as a player, Lloyd has remained heavily involved in cricket, managing the West Indies in the late 1990s, and coaching and commentating. He is currently an
ICC Match Referee .
In
2005 , Lloyd offered his patronage to
Major League Cricket for their inaugural Interstate Cricket Cup in the
United States , to be named the Sir Clive Lloyd Cup.
