Kelvin Williams
Very good
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.
