Thelston Payne

Thelston Rodney O'Neale Payne (13 February 1957 – 10 May 2023) was a Barbadian cricketer who played one Test match and seven One Day Internationals for the West Indies.

[1] Payne played first-class cricket from 1978–79 to 1989–90, turning out in 68 first class matches, mostly for Barbados.

He held five catches in the West Indies' seven-wicket win, but scored only five runs.

[1] In his seven ODIs, he was always in and out of the team, and he only played in two successive matches – in the 1986–87 World Series Cup.

That was his penultimate ODI – his last was against New Zealand two months later, during which he held a catch off Richard Hadlee's bat, but did not get to bat because Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes wrapped up the target without losing a wicket.
