Leslie Wight

George Leslie Wight (28 May 1929 – 4 January 2004) was a West Indian international cricketer who played in one Test match in 1953.

In the first match in 1951–52, against Barbados, he hit his first century, and went on to score 262 not out in 708 minutes, putting on 390 for the first wicket with Glendon Gibbs.

When the visiting Indian team played Jamaica he top-scored in the first innings with 79, and was selected for the Fourth Test that followed a few days later.

Despite having replaced the opener Allan Rae in the team, and having made his name as an opener for British Guiana, Wight was asked to bat at number seven, and in his only innings he made 21 in more than two hours.
