He was a member of the squads which won the 1979 Cricket World Cup as well as finishing as runners-up at the 1983 Cricket World Cup.
Haynes favoured a more measured approach to batting and scored 7,487 runs in 116 Test matches at an average of 42.29, his highest Test innings of 184 coming against England in 1980.
He is one of the few Test batsman to have been dismissed handled the ball, falling in this fashion against India on 24 November 1983. He is also one of the few players to have scored a century on an ODI debut.
He was rated by Trinidad and Tobago Guardian as "one of the greatest of all time",[1] while the BBC described him as "one of the greatest opening partnerships in history with fellow Barbadian Gordon Greenidge."[2] The cricket almanac Wis
