[kingkallis]

I just read the news on Desmond Haynes's FB wall.

A few days ago I was celebrating our two young openers record breaking performance. I was so happy for the guys. And tonight I Just got a call from Seymour nurse daughter to say the he just pass away.
My coach my mentor, we all from the holders hill area love this man, we used to walk like Seymour bat like him and try to talk like him. Thanks for everything you have done for me.
May he Rest In Peace and rise in glory.

Could not find any information on Google though.

Worthy of the Barbados all-time XI?

Desmond Haynes named him in his all time Barbados XI before the WI v Eng test series. Then again he did omit himself from said squad.

Jason Holder, Charlie Griffith, Wayne Daniel, Manny Martindale or Kemar Roach could replace Clarke.

Yes but there’s a massive gulf between them.

Roach is seriously underrated. Not saying he would make the XI, the competition is too steep, but it isn't an absurd call at all imo.
