Clarence Passailaigue

Charles Clarence Passailaigue (4 August 1901 – 7 January 1972) was a Jamaican cricketer who played one Test for West Indies in 1930.

As an attacking batsman he announced himself to the cricketing world by scoring 183 for Jamaica at Melbourne Park, Kingston, in March 1930, against a touring MCC side led by Freddie Calthorpe.

After that performance he was selected for the Fourth Test, played a few days later at Sabina Park, Jamaica.

[1] On the basis of these first two performances, many considered him unlucky not to win a place for the first tour to visit Australia in 1930-31 and never again to be selected for a Test match.

Lionel Tennyson's side at Melbourne Park, Jamaica amassed 702 runs for five wickets in their only innings and with his good friend, George Headley, Passailaigue shared an unbeaten stand of 487.
