[1][2] Lynch was a hard-hitting batsman, an occasional off-spin bowler and a fine slip fielder.
He also played for the unofficial West Indies team on their second rebel tour of South Africa the following season.
His position was an interesting one: he could have been eligible to play for either West Indies (by birth) or England (by residence) in official teams, but taking part in this rebel tour saw him and all the rest of the tour party banned by West Indies for life.
England, by contrast, only banned their own South African tourists for three years as a standard measure.
Monte Lynch was picked for England and played in three One Day Internationals versus the West Indies in 1988 - more than three years after his rebel tour, and thus in compliance with England's standard three-year ban for rebel tourists: but after scores of 0 (run out without facing a ball at the non-striker's end), 2 and 6 he was not picked again.
