Lawrence Rowe

[4] He also became one of only four West Indians to have scored a triple century, with the others being Garfield Sobers, Chris Gayle and Brian Lara.

The team was humiliated by the Australian side over the rest of the series and Rowe never regained his previously devastating form.

[6][7][1] Playing between 1972 and 1980, Rowe scored a total of 2,047 runs at an average of 43 in his test match career.

Rowe played for Derbyshire in the English County Championship and also joined World Series Cricket, where he scored 175 in one match for the WSC West Indies XI.

It was felt that his ability was so extraordinary that Gary Sobers believed he could have been the greatest of all West Indian batsmen.

At one game Rowe hit a ball so cleanly that it followed a level trajectory like a guided missile over the boundary for six.

Gideon Haigh describes the incident: Early in his innings against England at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, in March 1974, he received a bouncer from Bob Willis.
