A wonderful opening batsman and an equally good human being, Desmond Haynes has fixed his berth on the legends' list. He was an ideal counterpoint to his aggressive co-opener Gordon Greenidge. The duo gave West Indies many brilliant starts.
Till some years back, Desmond had held many one-day records- highest number of runs and most number of centuries being some of them. One of the notable features of Desmond Haynes' batting was that he could play pace equally as good as slow bowling.
In 116 test matches, Desmond Haynes scored 7487 runs at an average of 42.29, while his ODI record reads 8648 runs from 238 matches at an average of 41.37 runs.
