[1] Reg Scarlett was a strongly-built lower-order batsman and off-spinner (a "mountainous figure of a man" according to Christopher Martin-Jenkins[2]) who played first-class cricket for Jamaica from 1951/52 to 1959/60.
In each of Jamaica's two matches against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1953/54 he took four wickets in the first innings.
[3] In 1959/60 Scarlett had figures of 5 for 69 against Trinidad and 3 for 107 against British Guiana, and was selected for the First Test against England.
[4] Scarlett retired from first-class cricket after the series and moved to England, where he spent many years coaching.
[6] He co-authored the book 100 Great West Indian Cricketers (1987) with Bridgette Lawrence.
