Famous cricket player of West Indian cricket team: Jimmy Adams

Jimmy Adams is known to be a former West Indian player and captain. A consistent left-handed batsman while a contributive left-arm spin bowler as well as a competent fielder specifically for his gully position, Adams is also recognized for his occasional wicket-keeping services to the team during his career.

In the season of 1984-85, he was taken on board for the Jamaican team and thereby, had an encouraging start to his first-class playing career. However, he was only able to pave his way into the West Indian Test team in the season of 1991-92 wherein he made his debut in Barbados by playing against South Africa. Adams hit a score of 1,132 runs with a batting average nearing 87 in the opening 12 matches. He averaged 61.34 in the first half of his Test career with a 25.58 average in the second half: the gap is recognized as the most extensive in the history of Test cricket. Adams started endeavoring to enter the International level cricket during the mid 90s.

Owing to his endless struggle and performance, Adams won the honor of captaincy of the West Indian cricket team in 2000. Even though this control did not last for long, he went on with his playing career for some more years during which he captained the South African Provincial team Free State and appeared as a guest for Lashings World XI in England.

Adams was part of his cricket arena for a good 20 years and announced his retirement in 2004. He exited the playing arcade with a Test batting average of 41.26 bagging a highest score of 208 not out when he played against NZ in 1995. Today, he is often seen appearing as a cricket commentator for Sky Sports, UK.

 

Famous cricket players of New Zealand cricket team: Ken Rutherford

Ken Rutherford is recognized as a former cricketer of the New Zealand team who relished a long and fruitful 10 years span of playing with the national team alongside the position of a captain for three years. Even though he had a not-so-promising start to his career, he struggled hard to trigger his International Career and acquired the position of a regular player in the team.

Rutherford did not have a very steady and remarkable playing career. Even though he clearly had the potential to perform superbly that is evident from the 34 first-class centuries he achieved, his performances were not very hopeful specifically owing to his captaincy tenure that gave his team only two Test wins against 18 attempts. He achieved his premier first-class score i.e 317 in 1986 when he was on the NZ touring side. This included 8 sixes and 45 boundary fours which crossed the boundary rope for a record of 53 times. It was in a One Day International when Rutherford won 10 matches as a Captain and accomplished his career’s highest International score.

In 1995, Rutherford was dropped from the New Zealand cricket team, after which he moved to South Africa and played first-class cricket over a period of five seasons for Transvaal and Gauteng. Post retirement, he was appointed to coach the National Cricket team of Ireland.

 

Famous English cricket player: Marcus Edward Trescothick

Marcus Edward Trescothick, a former English cricketer, was a left-handed opening batsman and played first-class cricket for the Somerset County Cricket Club while his represented the English cricket team in 123 ODIs and 76 Test matches.

It was in 1993 that he made his first-class appearance for Somerset and didn’t consume much time in emerging as a regular player for the English cricket team. Following this, seven years later, Trescothick made his debut in ODI in July, 2000 against Zimbabwe wherein he made a score of 79, one month after which he made his Test debut against the West Indian cricket team during which he performed incredibly and won the award of being the Man of the Match, bagging a score of 87 not out. Owing to his dominating performances and dynamic opening, he holds the prestigious recognition of making a record of fastest half-century in any English 20-20 innings.

From May-June in 2003, Trescothick played against Zimbabew in two Test series and also made a victorious century in the three One Day Internationals played against Pakistan with an average above 100. He continued the same performance in the NatWest Series the same year that he played against South Africa with 144 runs not out. He took this forward to the South African Test matches as well where Trescothick acquired his career best score of 219 at The Oval with an average of 60.87 and completed a triumphant series.

Trescothick was a slip fielder as well and played frequently as a right-handed medium-pace bowler. Even though this strong cricketer’s profile made him a very natural selection for England cricket team from 2000-2006 but a stress-oriented illness deteriorated his stable career and he then had to withdraw from the national team. Even though he started re-establishing his playing career in 2007 with Somerset by scoring double-centuries twice, he had a restless standing that made him retire from international cricket in 2008.
