Profile

An attractive left-hand opener who struck the ball cleanly, notably through the covers off the back foot, Joey Carew impressed in two matches against MCC in 1959-60, and made three tours of England and one to Australasia. He struggled in English conditions - in four Tests he made only 104 runs - and only really shone on the 1967-68 tour of Australia and New Zealand where he made 683 runs at 48.78, including his only Test hundred at Auckland. He was also a useful legspinner, and later became a Test selector. Christopher Martin-Jenkins wrote: "Perhaps his greatest legacy to West Indies cricket, however, lies in the advice and encouragement he gave to a young left-hander from Santa Cruz in Trinidad. Brian Lara rewarded Joey Carew richly for the interest he showed in him."
