Very good :beermug:
Kelvin Williams' ease at hitting sixes was unbelievable. It surpassed even that of Phil Simmons or Gordon grennidge. He once swept a ball for six out into the street at Bourda. The commnetators said they had seen sixes go into the road before but never SWEPT out of the ground. They were confounded how a man could be confronted with perfect line and length and just keep hitting sixes.
The four consecutive sixes were against the Windwards (1985). TT need 280 odd to win with a day to go. In the last session of the third day they were about 9 wkts down and a 90 odd runs short. The man went berserk. Eventually every man except the keeper and bowler were fielding on the boundary. The bowler was Norbert Phillip ex WI player and then Essex Captain. Everybody really though the game would go into the fourth day but nobody told KW, he just blast runs like a mad man - hit around 82 no and finished with six after six. The crowd and Alvin Corneal went crazy. Ppl run out onto the field and lift him and carried him right out of the field. Tony Cozier in the 1985 Wisden Almanac referred to it as "innigs of which legends are made."
He went on to play Minor Cournties Cricket. He rewrote the record books. One of the records - I think the fastest double century - had stood since the 1920s. Bear in mind this leage has had players like Richards, Logie, Hooper and Imran Khan.
The English called him "Mr. Fantastic."
He actually started of a s a Medium Pacer in 1983 and evolved into an all rounder.

first time i hear that name. :-[

Good Question though. :beermug:
I think he is coaching current TT team.
After thinking about it, it became a process of elimination. To win a game with 4 sixes it had to be somebody batting late in the order.... like an allrounder with hitting power or a bowler who could "swipe good."
The only ones around that time who came to mind were Renwick Bishop, Sieuchan and Kelvin Williams.
Only Kelvin Williams was left after the other two were eliminated.

Let's put it this way, anyway who saw him bat that season could never forget it. He had scored massive runs in the trials leading up to the season, especially in the North-South Classic. I think he scored 92 odd in that game.
In the Guyana game which TT lost he scored around 36 including about tow sixes and two fours.
What was great about this guy, was he would hit you for two or three straight sixes and then play down the next delivery.
Yes he presently Coaches the national team. He migrated to the US in the late 80s, try to find a score card with the US vs WI or other Islands. You will see a K. Williams who hit massive runs loaded with boundaries :-)
